Test collection fails when using pytest.mark.usefixtures and a test function is a classmethod

See original GitHub issue

This minimal example using django TestCase class causes an error on collection:

from django.test import TestCase
import pytest


@pytest.fixture
def harry_potter(request):
    return 1


@pytest.mark.usefixtures('harry_potter')
class FooTestCase(TestCase):
    @classmethod
    def test_foo(cls):
        assert 1

The output of running pytest is as such:

OS: Fedora 27 (See log output for everything else) If no test function is a classmethod it works alright. I don’t know if this is a feature. Nothing seems to imply that. Thank you!
