object has no attribute '_memoizedcall' on pytest 6.x

See original GitHub issue

Hi there! I started to use your library for one of my new projects and faced up with the exception like this:

tests/api/personal/test_change_password.py:None (tests/api/personal/test_change_password.py)
.venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pytest_describe/plugin.py:134: in _getobj
    return self._memoizedcall('_obj', self._importtestmodule)
E   AttributeError: 'DescribeBlock' object has no attribute '_memoizedcall'

I wrote a little example:

import pytest


@pytest.fixture()
def truelness():
    return True

def describe_pytest_describe():
    def should_work_on_pytest_6():
        assert True


def describe_pytest_describe_with_fixture(truelness):
    def should_work_on_pytest_6():
        assert truelness is True

output:

    return self._memoizedcall('_obj', self._importtestmodule)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
.venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pytest_describe/plugin.py:136: in _getobj
    return self._importtestmodule()
.venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pytest_describe/plugin.py:144: in _importtestmodule

    funcobj(*args, **kwargs)

======================================================================================================= short test summary info ========================================================================================================
ERROR tests/test_example.py - TypeError: describe_pytest_describe_with_fixture() missing 1 required positional argument: 'truelness'

It looks like a problem with this specific commit in pytest: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/commit/ceb016514b6b62cfe327db1cb5bdc3fef3244900

Could you please take a look?

Fixture issue is related to #9 and #11, it’s been a few years so it might be worthwhile to re-evaluate whether it’d be possible to inject fixtures into describe blocks (perhaps limited to class-scope fixtures?)

This should be fixed in 2.0. The fixture issue is now covered in #38. Any help with that one is appreciated.
