ScopeMismatch on using session scoped fixture with pytest-mozwebqa plugin for py.test

I am using pytest-mozwebqa plugin for running some selenium tests. I want to login to the application only once for all the tests so I tried using a session scoped fixture in the conftest.py but I am getting following error. How can I write this login fixture so that login is not required per test and a single login is available to all tests?

This is the error I am getting:

================================================================================================= ERRORS ==================================================================================================
___________________________________________________________________________ ERROR at setup of TestData.test_selected_version ____________________________________________________________________________
ScopeMismatch: You tried to access the 'function' scoped fixture 'mozwebqa' with a 'module' scoped request object, involved factories
conftest.py:6:  def login(mozwebqa, variables)
../../.virtualenvs/webqa/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytest_mozwebqa/pytest_mozwebqa.py:159:  def pytest_funcarg__mozwebqa(request)

Content of the conftest.py:

@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def login(mozwebqa, variables):
    data_page = DataPage(mozwebqa)
    network_page = data_page.select_version(variables)
    return network_page

you need to make the login function scope, same as the mozwebqa fixture

k4nar posted this workaround on the github issue for the bug, and it’s working fine for me.

@pytest.fixture(scope=session)
def my_fixture(request):
    capmanager = request.config.pluginmanager.getplugin("capturemanager")

    ...

    with capmanager.global_and_fixture_disabled():
        print_something()

    ...
