How to get the request for an item in a setup hook?

[lexicalunit]

Clearly item._request is not meant to be used given the _ in _request. What else am I supposed to do?

from typing import Generator
import pytest
from my_app.command.base import BaseCommand

@pytest.hookimpl(hookwrapper=True)
def pytest_runtest_setup(item: pytest.Item) -> Generator[None, None, None]:
    if marks := item.iter_markers(name="command"):
        if mark := next(marks, None):
            cls = mark.kwargs["cls"]
            command: BaseCommand = cls()
            if item._request.cls:  # type: ignore[attr-defined]
                item._request.cls.command = command  # type: ignore[attr-defined]
    yield

To facilitate code like:

from my_app.command import MyCommand

@pytest.mark.command(cls=MyCommand)
class TestMyCommand:
    command: MyCommand

    def test_my_command(self) -> None:
        # do something with self.command ...

This code is very paired down from the real thing. Hopefully it makes sense as a minimal example.

I actually just wanted the cls instance which I can get from item.cls!

the common suggestion is a autouse fixture
