All pytest classes now subclass object for better Python 2/3 compatibility.
This should not affect user code except in very rare edge cases. (2147 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2147>_)
Features
Introduce empty_parameter_set_mark ini option to select which mark to
apply when pytest.mark.parametrize is given an empty set of parameters.
Valid options are skip (default) and xfail. Note that it is planned
to change the default to xfail in future releases as this is considered
less error prone. (2527 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2527>_)
Incompatible change: after community feedback the logging <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/logging.html> functionality has
undergone some changes. Please consult the logging documentation <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/logging.htmlincompatible-changes-in-pytest-3-4>
for details. (3013 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3013>_)
Console output falls back to "classic" mode when capturing is disabled (-s),
otherwise the output gets garbled to the point of being useless. (3038 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3038>_)
New pytest_runtest_logfinish <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/writing_plugins.html_pytest.hookspec.pytest_runtest_logfinish>_
hook which is called when a test item has finished executing, analogous to
pytest_runtest_logstart <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/writing_plugins.html_pytest.hookspec.pytest_runtest_start>.
(3101 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3101>)
Improve performance when collecting tests using many fixtures. (3107 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3107>_)
New caplog.get_records(when) method which provides access to the captured
records for the "setup", "call" and "teardown"
testing stages. (3117 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3117>_)
New fixture record_xml_attribute that allows modifying and inserting
attributes on the <testcase> xml node in JUnit reports. (3130 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3130>_)
The default cache directory has been renamed from .cache to
.pytest_cache after community feedback that the name .cache did not
make it clear that it was used by pytest. (3138 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3138>_)
Colorize the levelname column in the live-log output. (3142 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3142>_)
Bug Fixes
Fix hanging pexpect test on MacOS by using flush() instead of wait().
(2022 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2022>_)
Fix restoring Python state after in-process pytest runs with the
pytester plugin; this may break tests using multiple inprocess
pytest runs if later ones depend on earlier ones leaking global interpreter
changes. (3016 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3016>_)
Fix skipping plugin reporting hook when test aborted before plugin setup
hook. (3074 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3074>_)
Fix progress percentage reported when tests fail during teardown. (3088 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3088>_)
Incompatible change: -o/--override option no longer eats all the
remaining options, which can lead to surprising behavior: for example,
pytest -o foo=1 /path/to/test.py would fail because /path/to/test.py
would be considered as part of the -o command-line argument. One
consequence of this is that now multiple configuration overrides need
multiple -o flags: pytest -o foo=1 -o bar=2. (3103 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3103>_)
Improved Documentation
Document hooks (defined with historic=True) which cannot be used with
hookwrapper=True. (2423 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2423>_)
Clarify that warning capturing doesn't change the warning filter by default.
(2457 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2457>_)
Clarify a possible confusion when using pytest_fixturesetup with fixture
functions that return None. (2698 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2698>)
Fix the wording of a sentence on doctest flags used in pytest. (3076 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3076>_)
Prefer https://*.readthedocs.io over http://*.rtfd.org for links in
the documentation. (3092 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3092>_)
Improve readability (wording, grammar) of Getting Started guide (3131 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3131>_)
Added note that calling pytest.main multiple times from the same process is
not recommended because of import caching. (3143 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3143>_)
Trivial/Internal Changes
Show a simple and easy error when keyword expressions trigger a syntax error
(for example, "-k foo and import" will show an error that you can not use
the import keyword in expressions). (2953 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2953>_)
Change parametrized automatic test id generation to use the __name__
attribute of functions instead of the fallback argument name plus counter.
(2976 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2976>_)
Replace py.std with stdlib imports. (3067 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3067>_)
Corrected 'you' to 'your' in logging docs. (3129 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3129>_)
3.3.2
=========================
Bug Fixes
pytester: ignore files used to obtain current user metadata in the fd leak
detector. (2784 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2784>_)
Fix memory leak where objects returned by fixtures were never destructed
by the garbage collector. (2981 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2981>_)
Fix conversion of pyargs to filename to not convert symlinks on Python 2. (2985 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2985>_)
PYTEST_DONT_REWRITE is now checked for plugins too rather than only for
test modules. (2995 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2995>_)
Improved Documentation
Add clarifying note about behavior of multiple parametrized arguments (3001 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3001>_)
Clean up code by replacing imports and references of _ast to ast. (3018 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3018>_)
3.3.1
=========================
Bug Fixes
Fix issue about -p no:<plugin> having no effect. (2920 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2920>_)
Fix regression with warnings that contained non-strings in their arguments in
Python 2. (2956 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2956>_)
Always escape null bytes when setting PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST. (2957 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2957>_)
Fix ZeroDivisionError when using the testmon plugin when no tests
were actually collected. (2971 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2971>_)
Bring back TerminalReporter.writer as an alias to
TerminalReporter._tw. This alias was removed by accident in the 3.3.0
release. (2984 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2984>_)
The pytest-capturelog plugin is now also blacklisted, avoiding errors when
running pytest with it still installed. (3004 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3004>_)
Improved Documentation
Fix broken link to plugin pytest-localserver. (2963 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2963>_)
Trivial/Internal Changes
Update github "bugs" link in CONTRIBUTING.rst (2949 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2949>_)
3.3.0
=========================
Deprecations and Removals
Pytest no longer supports Python 2.6 and 3.3. Those Python versions
are EOL for some time now and incur maintenance and compatibility costs on
the pytest core team, and following up with the rest of the community we
decided that they will no longer be supported starting on this version. Users
which still require those versions should pin pytest to <3.3. (2812 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2812>_)
Remove internal _preloadplugins() function. This removal is part of the
pytest_namespace() hook deprecation. (2636 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2636>_)
Internally change CallSpec2 to have a list of marks instead of a broken
mapping of keywords. This removes the keywords attribute of the internal
CallSpec2 class. (2672 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2672>_)
Remove ParameterSet.deprecated_argdict - its not a public api and the lack
of the underscore was a naming error. (2675 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2675>)
Remove the internal multi-typed attribute Node._evalskip and replace it
with the boolean Node._skipped_by_mark. (2767 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2767>_)
The params list passed to pytest.fixture is now for
all effects considered immutable and frozen at the moment of the pytest.fixture
call. Previously the list could be changed before the first invocation of the fixture
allowing for a form of dynamic parametrization (for example, updated from command-line options),
but this was an unwanted implementation detail which complicated the internals and prevented
some internal cleanup. See issue 2959 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2959>_
for details and a recommended workaround.
Features
pytest_fixture_post_finalizer hook can now receive a request
argument. (2124 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2124>_)
Replace the old introspection code in compat.py that determines the available
arguments of fixtures with inspect.signature on Python 3 and
funcsigs.signature on Python 2. This should respect __signature__
declarations on functions. (2267 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2267>_)
Report tests with global pytestmark variable only once. (2549 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2549>_)
Now pytest displays the total progress percentage while running tests. The
previous output style can be set by configuring the console_output_style
setting to classic. (2657 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2657>_)
Match warns signature to raises by adding match keyword. (2708 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2708>_)
Pytest now captures and displays output from the standard logging module.
The user can control the logging level to be captured by specifying options
in pytest.ini, the command line and also during individual tests using
markers. Also, a caplog fixture is available that enables users to test
the captured log during specific tests (similar to capsys for example).
For more information, please see the logging docs <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/logging.html>. This feature was
introduced by merging the popular pytest-catchlog <https://pypi.org/project/pytest-catchlog/> plugin, thanks to Thomas Hisch <https://github.com/thisch>. Be advised that during the merging the
backward compatibility interface with the defunct pytest-capturelog has
been dropped. (2794 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2794>)
Add allow_module_level kwarg to pytest.skip(), enabling to skip the
whole module. (2808 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2808>_)
Allow setting file_or_dir, -c, and -o in PYTESTADDOPTS. (2824 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2824>)
Return stdout/stderr capture results as a namedtuple, so out and
err can be accessed by attribute. (2879 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2879>_)
Add capfdbinary, a version of capfd which returns bytes from
readouterr(). (2923 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2923>_)
Add capsysbinary a version of capsys which returns bytes from
readouterr(). (2934 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2934>_)
Implement feature to skip setup.py files when run with
--doctest-modules. (502 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/502>_)
Bug Fixes
Resume output capturing after capsys/capfd.disabled() context manager.
(1993 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1993>_)
pytest_fixture_setup and pytest_fixture_post_finalizer hooks are now
called for all conftest.py files. (2124 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2124>_)
If an exception happens while loading a plugin, pytest no longer hides the
original traceback. In Python 2 it will show the original traceback with a new
message that explains in which plugin. In Python 3 it will show 2 canonized
exceptions, the original exception while loading the plugin in addition to an
exception that pytest throws about loading a plugin. (2491 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2491>_)
capsys and capfd can now be used by other fixtures. (2709 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2709>_)
testdir now uses use the same method used by tmpdir to create its
temporary directory. This changes the final structure of the testdir
directory slightly, but should not affect usage in normal scenarios and
avoids a number of potential problems. (2751 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2751>_)
Pytest no longer complains about warnings with unicode messages being
non-ascii compatible even for ascii-compatible messages. As a result of this,
warnings with unicode messages are converted first to an ascii representation
for safety. (2809 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2809>_)
Change return value of pytest command when --maxfail is reached from
2 (interrupted) to 1 (failed). (2845 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2845>_)
Fix issue in assertion rewriting which could lead it to rewrite modules which
should not be rewritten. (2939 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2939>_)
Handle marks without description in pytest.ini. (2942 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2942>_)
Trivial/Internal Changes
pytest now depends on attrs <https://pypi.org/project/attrs/> for internal
structures to ease code maintainability. (2641 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2641>)
Refactored internal Python 2/3 compatibility code to use six. (2642 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2642>_)
Stop vendoring pluggy - we're missing out on its latest changes for not
much benefit (2719 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2719>_)
Internal refactor: simplify ascii string escaping by using the
backslashreplace error handler in newer Python 3 versions. (2734 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2734>_)
Remove unnecessary mark evaluator in unittest plugin (2767 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2767>_)
Calls to Metafunc.addcall now emit a deprecation warning. This function
is scheduled to be removed in pytest-4.0. (2876 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2876>_)
Internal move of the parameterset extraction to a more maintainable place.
(2877 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2877>_)
Internal refactoring to simplify scope node lookup. (2910 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2910>_)
Configure pytest to prevent pip from installing pytest in unsupported
Python versions. (2922 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2922>_)
3.2.5
=========================
Bug Fixes
Remove py<1.5 restriction from pytest as this can cause version
conflicts in some installations. (2926 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2926>_)
3.2.4
=========================
Bug Fixes
Fix the bug where running with --pyargs will result in items with
empty parent.nodeid if run from a different root directory. (2775 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2775>_)
Fix issue with pytest.parametrize if argnames was specified as keyword arguments.
(2819 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2819>_)
Strip whitespace from marker names when reading them from INI config. (2856 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2856>_)
Show full context of doctest source in the pytest output, if the line number of
failed example in the docstring is < 9. (2882 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2882>_)
Match fixture paths against actual path segments in order to avoid matching folders which share a prefix.
(2836 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2836>_)
Improved Documentation
Introduce a dedicated section about conftest.py. (1505 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1505>_)
Explicitly mention xpass in the documentation of xfail. (1997 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1997>_)
Append example for pytest.param in the example/parametrize document. (2658 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2658>_)
Clarify language of proposal for fixtures parameters (2893 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2893>_)
List python 3.6 in the documented supported versions in the getting started
document. (2903 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2903>_)
Clarify the documentation of available fixture scopes. (538 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/538>_)
Add documentation about the python -m pytest invocation adding the
current directory to sys.path. (911 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/911>_)
3.2.3
=========================
Bug Fixes
Fix crash in tab completion when no prefix is given. (2748 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2748>_)
The equality checking function (__eq__) of MarkDecorator returns
False if one object is not an instance of MarkDecorator. (2758 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2758>_)
When running pytest --fixtures-per-test: don't crash if an item has no
fixtureinfo attribute (e.g. doctests) (2788 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2788>)
Improved Documentation
In help text of -k option, add example of using not to not select
certain tests whose names match the provided expression. (1442 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1442>_)
Add note in parametrize.rst about calling metafunc.parametrize
multiple times. (1548 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1548>_)
Trivial/Internal Changes
Set xfail_strict=True in pytest's own test suite to catch expected
failures as soon as they start to pass. (2722 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2722>_)

Bug Fixes
Calling the deprecated request.getfuncargvalue() now shows the source of
the call. (2681 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2681>_)
Allow tests declared as staticmethod to use fixtures. (2699 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2699>_)
Fixed edge-case during collection: attributes which raised pytest.fail
when accessed would abort the entire collection. (2707 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2707>_)
Fix ReprFuncArgs with mixed unicode and UTF-8 args. (2731 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2731>_)
Improved Documentation
In examples on working with custom markers, add examples demonstrating the
usage of pytest.mark.MARKER_NAME.with_args in comparison with

In one of the simple examples, use pytest_collection_modifyitems() to skip
tests based on a command-line option, allowing its sharing while preventing a
user error when acessing pytest.config before the argument parsing. (2653 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2653>_)
Trivial/Internal Changes
Fixed minor error in 'Good Practices/Manual Integration' code snippet.
