(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.
