pytest 8.1.1 (2024-03-08)

::: {.note}
::: {.title}
Note
:::

This release is not a usual bug fix release -- it contains features and improvements, being a follow up
to 8.1.0, which has been yanked from PyPI.
:::

Features

#11475: Added the new consider_namespace_packages{.interpreted-text role="confval"} configuration option, defaulting to False.

If set to True, pytest will attempt to identify modules that are part of namespace packages when importing modules.
#11653: Added the new verbosity_test_cases{.interpreted-text role="confval"} configuration option for fine-grained control of test execution verbosity.
See Fine-grained verbosity <pytest.fine_grained_verbosity>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more details.

Improvements

#10865: pytest.warns{.interpreted-text role="func"} now validates that warnings.warn{.interpreted-text role="func"} was called with a [str]{.title-ref} or a [Warning]{.title-ref}.
Currently in Python it is possible to use other types, however this causes an exception when warnings.filterwarnings{.interpreted-text role="func"} is used to filter those warnings (see CPython #103577 for a discussion).
While this can be considered a bug in CPython, we decided to put guards in pytest as the error message produced without this check in place is confusing.
#11311: When using --override-ini for paths in invocations without a configuration file defined, the current working directory is used
as the relative directory.

Previoulsy this would raise an AssertionError{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
#11475: --import-mode=importlib <import-mode-importlib>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} now tries to import modules using the standard import mechanism (but still without changing :pysys.path{.interpreted-text role="data"}), falling back to importing modules directly only if that fails.

This means that installed packages will be imported under their canonical name if possible first, for example app.core.models, instead of having the module name always be derived from their path (for example .env310.lib.site_packages.app.core.models).
#11801: Added the iter_parents() <_pytest.nodes.Node.iter_parents>{.interpreted-text role="func"} helper method on nodes.
It is similar to listchain <_pytest.nodes.Node.listchain>{.interpreted-text role="func"}, but goes from bottom to top, and returns an iterator, not a list.
#11850: Added support for sys.last_exc{.interpreted-text role="data"} for post-mortem debugging on Python>=3.12.
#11962: In case no other suitable candidates for configuration file are found, a pyproject.toml (even without a [tool.pytest.ini_options] table) will be considered as the configuration file and define the rootdir.
#11978: Add --log-file-mode option to the logging plugin, enabling appending to log-files. This option accepts either "w" or "a" and defaults to "w".

Previously, the mode was hard-coded to be "w" which truncates the file before logging.
#12047: When multiple finalizers of a fixture raise an exception, now all exceptions are reported as an exception group.
Previously, only the first exception was reported.

Bug Fixes

#11475: Fixed regression where --importmode=importlib would import non-test modules more than once.
#11904: Fixed a regression in pytest 8.0.0 that would cause test collection to fail due to permission errors when using --pyargs.

This change improves the collection tree for tests specified using --pyargs, see 12043{.interpreted-text role="pull"} for a comparison with pytest 8.0 and <8.
#12011: Fixed a regression in 8.0.1 whereby setup_module xunit-style fixtures are not executed when --doctest-modules is passed.
#12014: Fix the stacklevel used when warning about marks used on fixtures.
#12039: Fixed a regression in 8.0.2 where tests created using tmp_path{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} have been collected multiple times in CI under Windows.

Improved Documentation

#11790: Documented the retention of temporary directories created using the tmp_path fixture in more detail.

Trivial/Internal Changes

#11785: Some changes were made to private functions which may affect plugins which access them:
- FixtureManager._getautousenames() now takes a Node itself instead of the nodeid.
- FixtureManager.getfixturedefs() now takes the Node itself instead of the nodeid.
- The _pytest.nodes.iterparentnodeids() function is removed without replacement.
  Prefer to traverse the node hierarchy itself instead.
  If you really need to, copy the function from the previous pytest release.
#12069: Delayed the deprecation of the following features to 9.0.0:
- node-ctor-fspath-deprecation{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.
- legacy-path-hooks-deprecated{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.
It was discovered after 8.1.0 was released that the warnings about the impeding removal were not being displayed, so the team decided to revert the removal.

This is the reason for 8.1.0 being yanked.

`v8.0.2`

Compare Source

pytest 8.0.2 (2024-02-24)

Bug Fixes

#11895: Fix collection on Windows where initial paths contain the short version of a path (for example c:\PROGRA~1\tests).
#11953: Fix an IndexError crash raising from getstatementrange_ast.
#12021: Reverted a fix to [--maxfail]{.title-ref} handling in pytest 8.0.0 because it caused a regression in pytest-xdist whereby session fixture teardowns may get executed multiple times when the max-fails is reached.

`v8.0.1`

Compare Source

#11906: Fix regression with pytest.warns{.interpreted-text role="func"} using custom warning subclasses which have more than one parameter in their [__init__]{.title-ref}.
#11907: Fix a regression in pytest 8.0.0 whereby calling pytest.skip{.interpreted-text role="func"} and similar control-flow exceptions within a pytest.warns(){.interpreted-text role="func"} block would get suppressed instead of propagating.
#11929: Fix a regression in pytest 8.0.0 whereby autouse fixtures defined in a module get ignored by the doctests in the module.

child modules as attributes of the parent modules.
#10702: Fixed error assertion handling in pytest.approx when None is an expected or received value when comparing dictionaries.

`v7.4.0`

Compare Source

pytest 7.4.0 (2023-06-23)

Features

#10901: Added ExceptionInfo.from_exception() <pytest.ExceptionInfo.from_exception>{.interpreted-text role="func"}, a simpler way to create an ~pytest.ExceptionInfo{.interpreted-text role="class"} from an exception.
This can replace ExceptionInfo.from_exc_info() <pytest.ExceptionInfo.from_exc_info()>{.interpreted-text role="func"} for most uses.

Improvements

#10872: Update test log report annotation to named tuple and fixed inconsistency in docs for pytest_report_teststatus{.interpreted-text role="hook"} hook.
#10907: When an exception traceback to be displayed is completely filtered out (by mechanisms such as __tracebackhide__, internal frames, and similar), now only the exception string and the following message are shown:

"All traceback entries are hidden. Pass [--full-trace]{.title-ref} to see hidden and internal frames.".

Previously, the last frame of the traceback was shown, even though it was hidden.
#10940: Improved verbose output (-vv) of skip and xfail reasons by performing text wrapping while leaving a clear margin for progress output.

Added TerminalReporter.wrap_write() as a helper for that.
#10991: Added handling of %f directive to print microseconds in log format options, such as log-date-format.
#11005: Added the underlying exception to the cache provider's path creation and write warning messages.
#11013: Added warning when testpaths{.interpreted-text role="confval"} is set, but paths are not found by glob. In this case, pytest will fall back to searching from the current directory.
#11043: When [--confcutdir]{.title-ref} is not specified, and there is no config file present, the conftest cutoff directory ([--confcutdir]{.title-ref}) is now set to the rootdir <rootdir>{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.
Previously in such cases, [conftest.py]{.title-ref} files would be probed all the way to the root directory of the filesystem.
If you are badly affected by this change, consider adding an empty config file to your desired cutoff directory, or explicitly set [--confcutdir]{.title-ref}.
#11081: The norecursedirs{.interpreted-text role="confval"} check is now performed in a pytest_ignore_collect{.interpreted-text role="hook"} implementation, so plugins can affect it.

If after updating to this version you see that your [norecursedirs]{.title-ref} setting is not being respected,
it means that a conftest or a plugin you use has a bad [pytest_ignore_collect]{.title-ref} implementation.
Most likely, your hook returns [False]{.title-ref} for paths it does not want to ignore,
which ends the processing and doesn't allow other plugins, including pytest itself, to ignore the path.
The fix is to return [None]{.title-ref} instead of [False]{.title-ref} for paths your hook doesn't want to ignore.
#8711: caplog.set_level() <pytest.LogCaptureFixture.set_level>{.interpreted-text role="func"} and caplog.at_level() <pytest.LogCaptureFixture.at_level>{.interpreted-text role="func"}
will temporarily enable the requested level if level was disabled globally via
logging.disable(LEVEL).

Bug Fixes

#10831: Terminal Reporting: Fixed bug when running in --tb=line mode where pytest.fail(pytrace=False) tests report None.
#11068: Fixed the --last-failed whole-file skipping functionality ("skipped N files") for non-python test files <non-python tests>{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.
#11104: Fixed a regression in pytest 7.3.2 which caused to testpaths{.interpreted-text role="confval"} to be considered for loading initial conftests,
even when it was not utilized (e.g. when explicit paths were given on the command line).
Now the testpaths are only considered when they are in use.
#1904: Fixed traceback entries hidden with __tracebackhide__ = True still being shown for chained exceptions (parts after "... the above exception ..." message).
#7781: Fix writing non-encodable text to log file when using --debug.

Improved Documentation

#9146: Improved documentation for caplog.set_level() <pytest.LogCaptureFixture.set_level>{.interpreted-text role="func"}.

Trivial/Internal Changes

#11031: Enhanced the CLI flag for -c to now include --config-file to make it clear that this flag applies to the usage of a custom config file.

`v7.3.2`

Compare Source

pytest 7.3.2 (2023-06-10)

Bug Fixes

#10169: Fix bug where very long option names could cause pytest to break with OSError: [Errno 36] File name too long on some systems.
#10894: Support for Python 3.12 (beta at the time of writing).
#10987: testpaths{.interpreted-text role="confval"} is now honored to load root conftests.
#10999: The [monkeypatch]{.title-ref} [setitem]{.title-ref}/[delitem]{.title-ref} type annotations now allow [TypedDict]{.title-ref} arguments.
#11028: Fixed bug in assertion rewriting where a variable assigned with the walrus operator could not be used later in a function call.
#11054: Fixed --last-failed's "(skipped N files)" functionality for files inside of packages (directories with [__init__.py]{.title-ref} files).

`v7.3.1`

Compare Source

pytest 7.3.1 (2023-04-14)

Improvements

#10875: Python 3.12 support: fixed RuntimeError: TestResult has no addDuration method when running unittest tests.
#10890: Python 3.12 support: fixed shutil.rmtree(onerror=...) deprecation warning when using tmp_path{.interpreted-text role="fixture"}.

Bug Fixes

#10896: Fixed performance regression related to tmp_path{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} and the new tmp_path_retention_policy{.interpreted-text role="confval"} option.
#10903: Fix crash INTERNALERROR IndexError: list index out of range which happens when displaying an exception where all entries are hidden.
This reverts the change "Correctly handle __tracebackhide__ for chained exceptions." introduced in version 7.3.0.

`v7.3.0`

Compare Source

pytest 7.3.0 (2023-04-08)

Features

#10525: Test methods decorated with @classmethod can now be discovered as tests, following the same rules as normal methods. This fills the gap that static methods were discoverable as tests but not class methods.
#10755: console_output_style{.interpreted-text role="confval"} now supports progress-even-when-capture-no to force the use of the progress output even when capture is disabled. This is useful in large test suites where capture may have significant performance impact.
#7431: --log-disable CLI option added to disable individual loggers.
#8141: Added tmp_path_retention_count{.interpreted-text role="confval"} and tmp_path_retention_policy{.interpreted-text role="confval"} configuration options to control how directories created by the tmp_path{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} fixture are kept.

Improvements

#10226: If multiple errors are raised in teardown, we now re-raise an ExceptionGroup of them instead of discarding all but the last.
#10658: Allow -p arguments to include spaces (eg: -p no:logging instead of
-pno:logging). Mostly useful in the addopts section of the configuration
file.
#10710: Added start and stop timestamps to TestReport objects.
#10727: Split the report header for rootdir, config file and testpaths so each has its own line.
#10840: pytest should no longer crash on AST with pathological position attributes, for example testing AST produced by [Hylang <https://github.com/hylang/hy>\__]{.title-ref}.
#6267: The full output of a test is no longer truncated if the truncation message would be longer than
the hidden text. The line number shown has also been fixed.

Bug Fixes

#10743: The assertion rewriting mechanism now works correctly when assertion expressions contain the walrus operator.
#10765: Fixed tmp_path{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} fixture always raising OSError{.interpreted-text role="class"} on emscripten platform due to missing os.getuid{.interpreted-text role="func"}.
#1904: Correctly handle __tracebackhide__ for chained exceptions.

Improved Documentation

#10782: Fixed the minimal example in goodpractices{.interpreted-text role="ref"}: pip install -e . requires a version entry in pyproject.toml to run successfully.

Trivial/Internal Changes

#10669: pytest no longer depends on the [attrs]{.title-ref} package (don't worry, nice diffs for attrs classes are still supported).

`v7.2.2`

Compare Source

pytest 7.2.2 (2023-03-03)

Bug Fixes

#10533: Fixed pytest.approx{.interpreted-text role="func"} handling of dictionaries containing one or more values of [0.0]{.title-ref}.
#10592: Fixed crash if [--cache-show]{.title-ref} and [--help]{.title-ref} are passed at the same time.
#10597: Fixed bug where a fixture method named teardown would be called as part of nose teardown stage.
#10626: Fixed crash if --fixtures and --help are passed at the same time.
#10660: Fixed :pypytest.raises{.interpreted-text role="func"} to return a 'ContextManager' so that type-checkers could narrow
pytest.raises(...) if ... else nullcontext() down to 'ContextManager' rather than 'object'.

Improved Documentation

#10690: Added [CI]{.title-ref} and [BUILD_NUMBER]{.title-ref} environment variables to the documentation.
#10721: Fixed entry-points declaration in the documentation example using Hatch.
#10753: Changed wording of the module level skip to be very explicit
about not collecting tests and not executing the rest of the module.

pytest 7.2.1 (2023-01-13)

Bug Fixes

#10457: If a test is skipped from inside a fixture, the test summary now shows the test location instead of the fixture location.
#10506: Fix bug where sometimes pytest would use the file system root directory as rootdir <rootdir>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} on Windows.
#10607: Fix a race condition when creating junitxml reports, which could occur when multiple instances of pytest execute in parallel.
#10641: Fix a race condition when creating or updating the stepwise plugin's cache, which could occur when multiple xdist worker nodes try to simultaneously update the stepwise plugin's cache.

`v7.2.0`

Compare Source

pytest 7.2.0 (2022-10-23)

Deprecations

#10012: Update pytest.PytestUnhandledCoroutineWarning{.interpreted-text role="class"} to a deprecation; it will raise an error in pytest 8.
#10396: pytest no longer depends on the py library. pytest provides a vendored copy of py.error and py.path modules but will use the py library if it is installed. If you need other py.* modules, continue to install the deprecated py library separately, otherwise it can usually be removed as a dependency.
#4562: Deprecate configuring hook specs/impls using attributes/marks.

Instead use :pypytest.hookimpl{.interpreted-text role="func"} and :pypytest.hookspec{.interpreted-text role="func"}.
For more details, see the docs <legacy-path-hooks-deprecated>{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.
#9886: The functionality for running tests written for nose has been officially deprecated.

This includes:
- Plain setup and teardown functions and methods: this might catch users by surprise, as setup() and teardown() are not pytest idioms, but part of the nose support.
- Setup/teardown using the @with_setup decorator.
For more details, consult the deprecation docs <nose-deprecation>{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.

Features

#9897: Added shell-style wildcard support to testpaths.

Improvements

#10218: @pytest.mark.parametrize() (and similar functions) now accepts any Sequence[str] for the argument names,
instead of just list[str] and tuple[str, ...].

(Note that str, which is itself a Sequence[str], is still treated as a
comma-delimited name list, as before).
#10381: The --no-showlocals flag has been added. This can be passed directly to tests to override --showlocals declared through addopts.
#3426: Assertion failures with strings in NFC and NFD forms that normalize to the same string now have a dedicated error message detailing the issue, and their utf-8 representation is expresed instead.
#7337: A warning is now emitted if a test function returns something other than [None]{.title-ref}. This prevents a common mistake among beginners that expect that returning a [bool]{.title-ref} (for example [return foo(a, b) == result]{.title-ref}) would cause a test to pass or fail, instead of using [assert]{.title-ref}.
#8508: Introduce multiline display for warning matching via :pypytest.warns{.interpreted-text role="func"} and
enhance match comparison for :py_pytest._code.ExceptionInfo.match{.interpreted-text role="func"} as returned by :pypytest.raises{.interpreted-text role="func"}.
#8646: Improve :pypytest.raises{.interpreted-text role="func"}. Previously passing an empty tuple would give a confusing
error. We now raise immediately with a more helpful message.
#9741: On Python 3.11, use the standard library's tomllib{.interpreted-text role="mod"} to parse TOML.

tomli{.interpreted-text role="mod"}` is no longer a dependency on Python 3.11.
#9742: Display assertion message without escaped newline characters with -vv.
#9823: Improved error message that is shown when no collector is found for a given file.
#9873: Some coloring has been added to the short test summary.
#9883: Normalize the help description of all command-line options.
#9920: Display full crash messages in short test summary info, when runng in a CI environment.
#9987: Added support for hidden configuration file by allowing .pytest.ini as an alternative to pytest.ini.

Bug Fixes

#10150: sys.stdin{.interpreted-text role="data"} now contains all expected methods of a file-like object when capture is enabled.
#10382: Do not break into pdb when raise unittest.SkipTest() appears top-level in a file.
#7792: Marks are now inherited according to the full MRO in test classes. Previously, if a test class inherited from two or more classes, only marks from the first super-class would apply.

When inheriting marks from super-classes, marks from the sub-classes are now ordered before marks from the super-classes, in MRO order. Previously it was the reverse.

When inheriting marks from super-classes, the [pytestmark]{.title-ref} attribute of the sub-class now only contains the marks directly applied to it. Previously, it also contained marks from its super-classes. Please note that this attribute should not normally be accessed directly; use pytest.Node.iter_markers{.interpreted-text role="func"} instead.
#9159: Showing inner exceptions by forcing native display in ExceptionGroups even when using display options other than --tb=native. A temporary step before full implementation of pytest-native display for inner exceptions in ExceptionGroups.
#9877: Ensure caplog.get_records(when) returns current/correct data after invoking caplog.clear().

Improved Documentation

#10344: Update information on writing plugins to use pyproject.toml instead of setup.py.
#9248: The documentation is now built using Sphinx 5.x (up from 3.x previously).
#9291: Update documentation on how pytest.warns{.interpreted-text role="func"} affects DeprecationWarning{.interpreted-text role="class"}.

Trivial/Internal Changes

#10196: ~pytest.PytestReturnNotNoneWarning{.interpreted-text role="class"} is now a subclass of ~pytest.PytestRemovedIn8Warning{.interpreted-text role="class"}: the plan is to make returning non-None from tests an error in the future.
#10313: Made _pytest.doctest.DoctestItem export pytest.DoctestItem for
type check and runtime purposes. Made [_pytest.doctest]{.title-ref} use internal APIs
to avoid circular imports.
#9906: Made _pytest.compat re-export importlib_metadata in the eyes of type checkers.
#9910: Fix default encoding warning (EncodingWarning) in cacheprovider
#9984: Improve the error message when we attempt to access a fixture that has been
torn down.
Add an additional sentence to the docstring explaining when it's not a good
idea to call getfixturevalue.

pytest 7.1.3 (2022-08-31)

Bug Fixes

#10060: When running with --pdb, TestCase.tearDown is no longer called for tests when the class has been skipped via unittest.skip or pytest.mark.skip.
#10190: Invalid XML characters in setup or teardown error messages are now properly escaped for JUnit XML reports.
#10230: Ignore .py files created by pyproject.toml-based editable builds introduced in pip 21.3.
#3396: Doctests now respect the --import-mode flag.
#9514: Type-annotate FixtureRequest.param as Any as a stop gap measure until 8073{.interpreted-text role="issue"} is fixed.
#9791: Fixed a path handling code in rewrite.py that seems to work fine, but was incorrect and fails in some systems.
#9917: Fixed string representation for pytest.approx{.interpreted-text role="func"} when used to compare tuples.

Improved Documentation

#9937: Explicit note that tmpdir{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} fixture is discouraged in favour of tmp_path{.interpreted-text role="fixture"}.

Trivial/Internal Changes

#10114: Replace atomicwrites dependency on windows with [os.replace]{.title-ref}.

`v7.1.2`

Compare Source

pytest 7.1.2 (2022-04-23)

Bug Fixes

#9726: An unnecessary numpy import inside pytest.approx{.interpreted-text role="func"} was removed.
#9820: Fix comparison of dataclasses with InitVar.
#9869: Increase stacklevel for the NODE_CTOR_FSPATH_ARG deprecation to point to the
user's code, not pytest.
#9871: Fix a bizarre (and fortunately rare) bug where the [temp_path]{.title-ref} fixture could raise
an internal error while attempting to get the current user's username.

`v7.1.1`

Compare Source

pytest 7.1.1 (2022-03-17)

Bug Fixes

#9767: Fixed a regression in pytest 7.1.0 where some conftest.py files outside of the source tree (e.g. in the [site-packages]{.title-ref} directory) were not picked up.

`v7.1.0`

Compare Source

pytest 7.1.0 (2022-03-13)

Breaking Changes

#8838: As per our policy, the following features have been deprecated in the 6.X series and are now
removed:
- pytest._fillfuncargs function.
- pytest_warning_captured hook - use pytest_warning_recorded instead.
- -k -foobar syntax - use -k 'not foobar' instead.
- -k foobar: syntax.
- pytest.collect module - import from pytest directly.
For more information consult
Deprecations and Removals in the docs.
#9437: Dropped support for Python 3.6, which reached end-of-life at 2021-12-23.

Improvements

#5192: Fixed test output for some data types where -v would show less information.

Also, when showing diffs for sequences, -q would produce full diffs instead of the expected diff.
#9362: pytest now avoids specialized assert formatting when it is detected that the default __eq__ is overridden in attrs or dataclasses.
#9536: When -vv is given on command line, show skipping and xfail reasons in full instead of truncating them to fit the terminal width.
#9644: More information about the location of resources that led Python to raise ResourceWarning{.interpreted-text role="class"} can now
be obtained by enabling tracemalloc{.interpreted-text role="mod"}.

See resource-warnings{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more information.
#9678: More types are now accepted in the ids argument to @pytest.mark.parametrize.
Previously only [str]{.title-ref}, [float]{.title-ref}, [int]{.title-ref} and [bool]{.title-ref} were accepted;
now [bytes]{.title-ref}, [complex]{.title-ref}, [re.Pattern]{.title-ref}, [Enum]{.title-ref} and anything with a [__name__]{.title-ref} are also accepted.
#9692: pytest.approx{.interpreted-text role="func"} now raises a TypeError{.interpreted-text role="class"} when given an unordered sequence (such as set{.interpreted-text role="class"}).

Note that this implies that custom classes which only implement __iter__ and __len__ are no longer supported as they don't guarantee order.

Bug Fixes

#8242: The deprecation of raising unittest.SkipTest{.interpreted-text role="class"} to skip collection of
tests during the pytest collection phase is reverted - this is now a supported
feature again.
#9493: Symbolic link components are no longer resolved in conftest paths.
This means that if a conftest appears twice in collection tree, using symlinks, it will be executed twice.
For example, given

tests/real/conftest.py
tests/real/test_it.py
tests/link -> tests/real

running pytest tests now imports the conftest twice, once as tests/real/conftest.py and once as tests/link/conftest.py.
This is a fix to match a similar change made to test collection itself in pytest 6.0 (see 6523{.interpreted-text role="pull"} for details).
#9626: Fixed count of selected tests on terminal collection summary when there were errors or skipped modules.

If there were errors or skipped modules on collection, pytest would mistakenly subtract those from the selected count.
#9645: Fixed regression where --import-mode=importlib used together with PYTHONPATH{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} or pythonpath{.interpreted-text role="confval"} would cause import errors in test suites.
#9708: pytester{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} now requests a monkeypatch{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} fixture instead of creating one internally. This solves some issues with tests that involve pytest environment variables.
#9730: Malformed pyproject.toml files now produce a clearer error message.

`v7.0.1`

Compare Source

pytest 7.0.1 (2022-02-11)

Bug Fixes

#9608: Fix invalid importing of importlib.readers in Python 3.9.
#9610: Restore [UnitTestFunction.obj]{.title-ref} to return unbound rather than bound method.
Fixes a crash during a failed teardown in unittest TestCases with non-default [__init__]{.title-ref}.
Regressed in pytest 7.0.0.
#9636: The pythonpath plugin was renamed to python_path. This avoids a conflict with the pytest-pythonpath plugin.
#9642: Fix running tests by id with :: in the parametrize portion.
#9643: Delay issuing a ~pytest.PytestWarning{.interpreted-text role="class"} about diamond inheritance involving ~pytest.Item{.interpreted-text role="class"} and
~pytest.Collector{.interpreted-text role="class"} so it can be filtered using standard warning filters <warnings>{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.

`v7.0.0`

Compare Source

pytest 7.0.0 (2022-02-03)

(Please see the full set of changes for this release also in the 7.0.0rc1 notes below)

Deprecations

#9488: If custom subclasses of nodes like pytest.Item{.interpreted-text role="class"} override the
__init__ method, they should take **kwargs. See
uncooperative-constructors-deprecated{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details.

Note that a deprection warning is only emitted when there is a conflict in the
arguments pytest expected to pass. This deprecation was already part of pytest
7.0.0rc1 but wasn't documented.

Bug Fixes

#9355: Fixed error message prints function decorators when using assert in Python 3.8 and above.
#9396: Ensure pytest.Config.inifile{.interpreted-text role="attr"} is available during the pytest_cmdline_main <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_cmdline_main>{.interpreted-text role="func"} hook (regression during 7.0.0rc1).

Improved Documentation

#9404: Added extra documentation on alternatives to common misuses of [pytest.warns(None)]{.title-ref} ahead of its deprecation.
#9505: Clarify where the configuration files are located. To avoid confusions documentation mentions
that configuration file is located in the root of the repository.

Trivial/Internal Changes

#9521: Add test coverage to assertion rewrite path.

pytest 7.0.0rc1 (2021-12-06)

Breaking Changes

#7259: The Node.reportinfo() <non-python tests>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} function first return value type has been expanded from [py.path.local | str]{.title-ref} to [os.PathLike[str] | str]{.title-ref}.

Most plugins which refer to [reportinfo()]{.title-ref} only define it as part of a custom pytest.Item{.interpreted-text role="class"} implementation.
Since [py.path.local]{.title-ref} is a [os.PathLike[str]]{.title-ref}, these plugins are unaffacted.

Plugins and users which call [reportinfo()]{.title-ref}, use the first return value and interact with it as a [py.path.local]{.title-ref}, would need to adjust by calling [py.path.local(fspath)]{.title-ref}.
Although preferably, avoid the legacy [py.path.local]{.title-ref} and use [pathlib.Path]{.title-ref}, or use [item.location]{.title-ref} or [item.path]{.title-ref}, instead.

Note: pytest was not able to provide a deprecation period for this change.
#8246: --version now writes version information to stdout rather than stderr.
#8733: Drop a workaround for pyreadline that made it work with --pdb.

The workaround was introduced in #1281 in 2015, however since then
pyreadline seems to have gone unmaintained, is generating
warnings, and will stop working on Python 3.10.
#9061: Using pytest.approx{.interpreted-text role="func"} in a boolean context now raises an error hinting at the proper usage.

It is apparently common for users to mistakenly use pytest.approx like this:
```
assert pytest.approx(actual, expected)
```
While the correct usage is:
```
assert actual == pytest.approx(expected)
```
The new error message helps catch those mistakes.
#9277: The pytest.Instance collector type has been removed.
Importing pytest.Instance or _pytest.python.Instance returns a dummy type and emits a deprecation warning.
See instance-collector-deprecation{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details.
#9308: PytestRemovedIn7Warning deprecation warnings are now errors by default.

Following our plan to remove deprecated features with as little disruption as
possible, all warnings of type PytestRemovedIn7Warning now generate errors
instead of warning messages by default.

The affected features will be effectively removed in pytest 7.1, so please consult the
deprecations{.interpreted-text role="ref"} section in the docs for directions on how to update existing code.

In the pytest 7.0.X series, it is possible to change the errors back into warnings as a
stopgap measure by adding this to your pytest.ini file:
```
[pytest]
filterwarnings =
    ignore::pytest.PytestRemovedIn7Warning
```
But this will stop working when pytest 7.1 is released.

If you have concerns about the removal of a specific feature, please add a
comment to 9308{.interpreted-text role="issue"}.

Deprecations

#7259: py.path.local arguments for hooks have been deprecated. See the deprecation note <legacy-path-hooks-deprecated>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details.

py.path.local arguments to Node constructors have been deprecated. See the deprecation note <node-ctor-fspath-deprecation>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details.

::: {.note}
::: {.admonition-title}
Note
:::

The name of the ~_pytest.nodes.Node{.interpreted-text role="class"} arguments and attributes (the
new attribute being path) is the opposite of the situation for hooks
(the old argument being path).

This is an unfortunate artifact due to historical reasons, which should be
resolved in future versions as we slowly get rid of the py{.interpreted-text role="pypi"}
dependency (see 9283{.interpreted-text role="issue"} for a longer discussion).
:::
#7469: Directly constructing the following classes is now deprecated:
- _pytest.mark.structures.Mark
- _pytest.mark.structures.MarkDecorator
- _pytest.mark.structures.MarkGenerator
