- Update to 7.1.1
* #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.
- python-pytest5 is gone. Remove the libalts stopgap
- Update to 7.1.0
* Big changelog for 7.x series, see
https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/changelog.html for details
- 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.
* #9437: Dropped support for Python 3.6, which reached
end-of-life at 2021-12-23.
* #7259: The Node.reportinfo() function first return value type
has been expanded from py.path.local | str to os.PathLike[str]
| str.
Most plugins which refer to reportinfo() only define it as part
of a custom pytest.Item implementation. Since py.path.local is
a os.PathLike[str], these plugins are unaffacted.
Plugins and users which call reportinfo(), use the first return
value and interact with it as a py.path.local, would need to
adjust by calling py.path.local(fspath). Although preferably,
avoid the legacy py.path.local and use pathlib.Path, or use
item.location or item.path, 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() 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 The
pytest.Instance collector for details.
* If you have concerns about the removal of a specific feature,
please add a comment to issue #9308.
