Is it possible to pass a Spark session to other python files?

[tomcorbin]

I am setting up pytest for my repo. I have my functions in separate python files and run pytest from one notebook. For each testing file, I have to create a new Spark session as follows:

@pytest.fixture(scope="session")

def spark():

  spark = (

  SparkSession.builder.master("local[1]")

  .appName("test")

  .config("spark.executors.cores", "1")

  .config("spark.executors.instances", "1")

  .config("spark.sql.shuffle.partitions", "1")

  .getOrCreate()

  )

  yield spark

  spark.stop()

Is it possible to create one Spark session and pass it to the test files that need it?

I was able to do it by placing the Spark session fixture in the conftest.py file in the root directory.
