Conversation
`pytest.yield_fixture` is a plain alias for `pytest.fixture`, so the rule can offer the rewrite rather than only reporting it. Following discussion in pytest-dev/pytest#14755. where we consider deleting the function in pytest 10. It's better if an autofix exists. I marked it as safe becuase 'fixture' is equivalent afaiu.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thank you! This looks good to me overall, just a small versioning issue and a potential edge case in the fix safety.

Adding a fix to an existing stable rule is a breaking change under the versioning policy, so the fix is only offered when preview is enabled. Review feedback from astral-sh#27993.
The fix replaces the decorator's reference, which can span comments in
exotic cases, e.g.
@(
pytest
# comment
.yield_fixture
)
def example(): ...
Mark the fix as unsafe when comments fall in the replaced range; a
trailing comment after the decorator is unaffected and stays safe.
Review feedback from astral-sh#27993.
Spell out why the alias exists and what happens to it: `pytest.fixture` has supported `yield` since pytest 3.0, the alias has been deprecated since 6.2, and pytest-dev/pytest#14755 slated it for removal in pytest 10, so it now raises `PytestRemovedIn10Warning`.

Summary
Following discussion in pytest-dev/pytest#14755. where we consider deleting the function in pytest 10. It's better if an autofix exists. I marked it as safe becuase
fixtureis equivalent afaiu. (Probably better to wait for a decision in the other issue to document it in this PR if it's removed in pytest 10)Test Plan
Took example with NPY003's implementation, tested alias for yield_fixture and pytest, and various imports, used bare, with parens, with args, with trailing comment, and inside a class.
