### [`v7.4.0`](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/releases/tag/7.4.0)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/compare/7.3.2...7.4.0)
# pytest 7.4.0 (2023-06-23)
## Features
- [#10901](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10901): Added `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() `{.interpreted-text role="func"} for most uses.
## Improvements
- [#10872](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10872): Update test log report annotation to named tuple and fixed inconsistency in docs for `pytest_report_teststatus`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} hook.
- [#10907](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10991): Added handling of `%f` directive to print microseconds in log format options, such as `log-date-format`.
- [#11005](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11005): Added the underlying exception to the cache provider's path creation and write warning messages.
- [#11013](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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 `{.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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8711): `caplog.set_level() `{.interpreted-text role="func"} and `caplog.at_level() `{.interpreted-text role="func"}
will temporarily enable the requested `level` if `level` was disabled globally via
`logging.disable(LEVEL)`.
## Bug Fixes
- [#10831](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10831): Terminal Reporting: Fixed bug when running in `--tb=line` mode where `pytest.fail(pytrace=False)` tests report `None`.
- [#11068](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11068): Fixed the `--last-failed` whole-file skipping functionality ("skipped N files") for `non-python test files `{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.
- [#11104](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1904): Fixed traceback entries hidden with `__tracebackhide__ = True` still being shown for chained exceptions (parts after "... the above exception ..." message).
- [#7781](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7781): Fix writing non-encodable text to log file when using `--debug`.
## Improved Documentation
- [#9146](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9146): Improved documentation for `caplog.set_level() `{.interpreted-text role="func"}.
## Trivial/Internal Changes
- [#11031](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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.

## Bug Fixes
- [#10169](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10894): Support for Python 3.12 (beta at the time of writing).
- [#10987](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10987): `testpaths`{.interpreted-text role="confval"} is now honored to load root `conftests`.
- [#10999](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10999): The \[monkeypatch]{.title-ref} \[setitem]{.title-ref}/\[delitem]{.title-ref} type annotations now allow \[TypedDict]{.title-ref} arguments.
- [#11028](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11028): Fixed bug in assertion rewriting where a variable assigned with the walrus operator could not be used later in a function call.
- [#11054](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11054): Fixed `--last-failed`'s "(skipped N files)" functionality for files inside of packages (directories with \[\__init\_\_.py]{.title-ref} files).
### [`v7.3.1`](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/releases/tag/7.3.1)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/compare/7.3.0...7.3.1)
# pytest 7.3.1 (2023-04-14)
## Improvements
- [#10875](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10875): Python 3.12 support: fixed `RuntimeError: TestResult has no addDuration method` when running `unittest` tests.
- [#10890](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10890): Python 3.12 support: fixed `shutil.rmtree(onerror=...)` deprecation warning when using `tmp_path`{.interpreted-text role="fixture"}.
## Bug Fixes
- [#10896](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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`](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/releases/tag/7.3.0)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/compare/7.2.2...7.3.0)
# pytest 7.3.0 (2023-04-08)
## Features
- [#10525](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7431): `--log-disable` CLI option added to disable individual loggers.
- [#8141](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10226): If multiple errors are raised in teardown, we now re-raise an `ExceptionGroup` of them instead of discarding all but the last.
- [#10658](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10710): Added `start` and `stop` timestamps to `TestReport` objects.
- [#10727](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10727): Split the report header for `rootdir`, `config file` and `testpaths` so each has its own line.
- [#10840](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10840): pytest should no longer crash on AST with pathological position attributes, for example testing AST produced by \[Hylang \\__]{.title-ref}.
- [#6267](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10743): The assertion rewriting mechanism now works correctly when assertion expressions contain the walrus operator.
- [#10765](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1904): Correctly handle `__tracebackhide__` for chained exceptions.
## Improved Documentation
- [#10782](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10669): pytest no longer depends on the \[attrs]{.title-ref} package (don't worry, nice diffs for attrs classes are still supported).

# pytest 7.2.2 (2023-03-03)
## Bug Fixes
- [#10533](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10533): Fixed `pytest.approx`{.interpreted-text role="func"} handling of dictionaries containing one or more values of \[0.0]{.title-ref}.
- [#10592](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10592): Fixed crash if \[--cache-show]{.title-ref} and \[--help]{.title-ref} are passed at the same time.
- [#10597](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10597): Fixed bug where a fixture method named `teardown` would be called as part of `nose` teardown stage.
- [#10626](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10626): Fixed crash if `--fixtures` and `--help` are passed at the same time.
- [#10660](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10660): Fixed :py`pytest.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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10690): Added \[CI]{.title-ref} and \[BUILD_NUMBER]{.title-ref} environment variables to the documentation.
- [#10721](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10721): Fixed entry-points declaration in the documentation example using Hatch.
- [#10753](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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
- [#10452](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10452): Fix 'importlib.abc.TraversableResources' deprecation warning in Python 3.12.
- [#10457](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10457): If a test is skipped from inside a fixture, the test summary now shows the test location instead of the fixture location.
- [#10506](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10506): Fix bug where sometimes pytest would use the file system root directory as `rootdir `{.interpreted-text role="ref"} on Windows.
- [#10607](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10607): Fix a race condition when creating junitxml reports, which could occur when multiple instances of pytest execute in parallel.
- [#10641](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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.

[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/compare/7.1.3...7.2.0)
# pytest 7.2.0 (2022-10-23)
## Deprecations
- [#10012](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10012): Update `pytest.PytestUnhandledCoroutineWarning`{.interpreted-text role="class"} to a deprecation; it will raise an error in pytest 8.
- [#10396](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4562): Deprecate configuring hook specs/impls using attributes/marks.
Instead use :py`pytest.hookimpl`{.interpreted-text role="func"} and :py`pytest.hookspec`{.interpreted-text role="func"}.
For more details, see the `docs `{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.
- [#9886](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](with-setup-nose) decorator.
For more details, consult the `deprecation docs `{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.
## Features
- [#9897](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9897): Added shell-style wildcard support to `testpaths`.
## Improvements
- [#10218](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10381): The `--no-showlocals` flag has been added. This can be passed directly to tests to override `--showlocals` declared through `addopts`.
- [#3426](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8508): Introduce multiline display for warning matching via :py`pytest.warns`{.interpreted-text role="func"} and
enhance match comparison for :py`_pytest._code.ExceptionInfo.match`{.interpreted-text role="func"} as returned by :py`pytest.raises`{.interpreted-text role="func"}.
- [#8646](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8646): Improve :py`pytest.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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9742): Display assertion message without escaped newline characters with `-vv`.
- [#9823](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9823): Improved error message that is shown when no collector is found for a given file.
- [#9873](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9873): Some coloring has been added to the short test summary.
- [#9883](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9883): Normalize the help description of all command-line options.
- [#9920](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9920): Display full crash messages in `short test summary info`, when runng in a CI environment.
- [#9987](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9987): Added support for hidden configuration file by allowing `.pytest.ini` as an alternative to `pytest.ini`.
## Bug Fixes
- [#10150](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10150): `sys.stdin`{.interpreted-text role="data"} now contains all expected methods of a file-like object when capture is enabled.
- [#10382](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10382): Do not break into pdb when `raise unittest.SkipTest()` appears top-level in a file.
- [#7792](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9877): Ensure `caplog.get_records(when)` returns current/correct data after invoking `caplog.clear()`.
## Improved Documentation
- [#10344](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10344): Update information on writing plugins to use `pyproject.toml` instead of `setup.py`.
- [#9248](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9248): The documentation is now built using Sphinx 5.x (up from 3.x previously).
- [#9291](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9291): Update documentation on how `pytest.warns`{.interpreted-text role="func"} affects `DeprecationWarning`{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
## Trivial/Internal Changes
- [#10196](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9906): Made `_pytest.compat` re-export `importlib_metadata` in the eyes of type checkers.
- [#9910](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9910): Fix default encoding warning (`EncodingWarning`) in `cacheprovider`
- [#9984](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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.

- [#9514](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9514): Type-annotate `FixtureRequest.param` as `Any` as a stop gap measure until `8073`{.interpreted-text role="issue"} is fixed.
- [#9791](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9791): Fixed a path handling code in `rewrite.py` that seems to work fine, but was incorrect and fails in some systems.
- [#9917](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9917): Fixed string representation for `pytest.approx`{.interpreted-text role="func"} when used to compare tuples.
## Improved Documentation
- [#9937](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10114): Replace [atomicwrites](https://togithub.com/untitaker/python-atomicwrites) dependency on windows with \[os.replace]{.title-ref}.

- [#9820](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9820): Fix comparison of `dataclasses` with `InitVar`.
- [#9869](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9869): Increase `stacklevel` for the `NODE_CTOR_FSPATH_ARG` deprecation to point to the
user's code, not pytest.
- [#9871](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9871): Fix a bizarre (and fortunately rare) bug where the \[temp_path]{.title-ref} fixture could raise

## Breaking Changes
- [#8838](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/deprecations.html) in the docs.
- [#9437](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9437): Dropped support for Python 3.6, which reached [end-of-life](https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches) at 2021-12-23.
## Improvements
- [#5192](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9362): pytest now avoids specialized assert formatting when it is detected that the default `__eq__` is overridden in `attrs` or `dataclasses`.
- [#9536](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9730): Malformed `pyproject.toml` files now produce a clearer error message.

[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/compare/7.0.0...7.0.1)
# pytest 7.0.1 (2022-02-11)
## Bug Fixes
- [#9608](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9608): Fix invalid importing of `importlib.readers` in Python 3.9.
- [#9610](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9636): The `pythonpath` plugin was renamed to `python_path`. This avoids a conflict with the `pytest-pythonpath` plugin.
- [#9642](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9642): Fix running tests by id with `::` in the parametrize portion.
- [#9643](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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 `{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.

# 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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9355): Fixed error message prints function decorators when using assert in Python 3.8 and above.
- [#9396](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9404): Added extra documentation on alternatives to common misuses of \[pytest.warns(None)]{.title-ref} ahead of its deprecation.
- [#9505](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9521): Add test coverage to assertion rewrite path.
# pytest 7.0.0rc1 (2021-12-06)
## Breaking Changes
- [#7259](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7259): The `Node.reportinfo() `{.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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8246): `--version` now writes version information to `stdout` rather than `stderr`.
- [#8733](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8733): Drop a workaround for [pyreadline](https://togithub.com/pyreadline/pyreadline) that made it work with `--pdb`.
The workaround was introduced in [#1281](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/pull/1281) in 2015, however since then
[pyreadline seems to have gone unmaintained](https://togithub.com/pyreadline/pyreadline/issues/58), is [generating
warnings](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8847), and will stop working on Python 3.10.
- [#9061](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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:
```{.sourceCode .python}
assert pytest.approx(actual, expected)
```
While the correct usage is:
```{.sourceCode .python}
assert actual == pytest.approx(expected)
```
The new error message helps catch those mistakes.
- [#9277](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/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:
```{.sourceCode .ini}
[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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7259): `py.path.local` arguments for hooks have been deprecated. See `the deprecation note `{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details.
`py.path.local` arguments to Node constructors have been deprecated. See `the deprecation note `{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details.

:::
The name of the `~_pytest.nodes.Node`{.interpreted-text role="class"} arguments and attributes (the

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](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7469): Directly constructing the following classes is now deprecated:
- `_pytest.mark.structures.Mark`
- `_pytest.mark.structures.MarkDecorator`
- `_pytest.mark.structures.MarkGenerator`
- `_pytest.python.Metafunc`
- `_pytest.runner.CallInfo`
- `_pytest._code.ExceptionInfo`
- `_pytest.config.argparsing.Parser`
- `_pytest.config.argparsing.OptionGroup`
- `_pytest.pytester.HookRecorder`
These constructors have always been considered private, but now issue a deprecation warning, which may become a hard error in pytest 8.
- [#8242](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8242): Raising `unittest.SkipTest`{.interpreted-text role="class"} to skip collection of tests during the
pytest collection phase is deprecated. Use `pytest.skip`{.interpreted-text role="func"} instead.
Note: This deprecation only relates to using `unittest.SkipTest`{.interpreted-text role="class"} during test
collection. You are probably not doing that. Ordinary usage of
`unittest.SkipTest`{.interpreted-text role="class"} / `unittest.TestCase.skipTest`{.interpreted-text role="meth"} /
`unittest.skip`{.interpreted-text role="func"} in unittest test cases is fully supported.
- [#8315](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8315): Several behaviors of `Parser.addoption `{.interpreted-text role="meth"} are now
scheduled for removal in pytest 8 (deprecated since pytest 2.4.0):
- `parser.addoption(..., help=".. %default ..")` - use `%(default)s` instead.
- `parser.addoption(..., type="int/string/float/complex")` - use `type=int` etc. instead.
- [#8447](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8447): Defining a custom pytest node type which is both an `pytest.Item `{.interpreted-text role="class"} and a `pytest.Collector `{.interpreted-text role="class"} (e.g. `pytest.File `{.interpreted-text role="class"}) now issues a warning.
It was never sanely supported and triggers hard to debug errors.
See `the deprecation note `{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details.
- [#8592](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8592): `pytest_cmdline_preparse`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} has been officially deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. Use `pytest_load_initial_conftests`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} instead.
See `the deprecation note `{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details.
- [#8645](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8645): `pytest.warns(None) `{.interpreted-text role="func"} is now deprecated because many people used
it to mean "this code does not emit warnings", but it actually had the effect of
checking that the code emits at least one warning of any type - like `pytest.warns()`
or `pytest.warns(Warning)`.
- [#8948](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8948): `pytest.skip(msg=...) `{.interpreted-text role="func"}, `pytest.fail(msg=...) `{.interpreted-text role="func"} and `pytest.exit(msg=...) `{.interpreted-text role="func"}
signatures now accept a `reason` argument instead of `msg`. Using `msg` still works, but is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
This was changed for consistency with `pytest.mark.skip `{.interpreted-text role="func"} and `pytest.mark.xfail `{.interpreted-text role="func"} which both accept
`reason` as an argument.
- [#8174](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8174): The following changes have been made to types reachable through `pytest.ExceptionInfo.traceback`{.interpreted-text role="attr"}:
- The `path` property of `_pytest.code.Code` returns `Path` instead of `py.path.local`.
- The `path` property of `_pytest.code.TracebackEntry` returns `Path` instead of `py.path.local`.
There was no deprecation period for this change (sorry!).
## Features
- [#5196](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/5196): Tests are now ordered by definition order in more cases.
In a class hierarchy, tests from base classes are now consistently ordered before tests defined on their subclasses (reverse MRO order).
- [#7132](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7132): Added two environment variables `PYTEST_THEME`{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} and `PYTEST_THEME_MODE`{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} to let the users customize the pygments theme used.
- [#7259](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7259): Added `cache.mkdir() `{.interpreted-text role="meth"}, which is similar to the existing `cache.makedir() `{.interpreted-text role="meth"},
but returns a `pathlib.Path`{.interpreted-text role="class"} instead of a legacy `py.path.local`.
Added a `paths` type to `parser.addini() `{.interpreted-text role="meth"},
as in `parser.addini("mypaths", "my paths", type="paths")`,
which is similar to the existing `pathlist`,
but returns a list of `pathlib.Path`{.interpreted-text role="class"} instead of legacy `py.path.local`.
- [#7469](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7469): The types of objects used in pytest's API are now exported so they may be used in type annotations.
The newly-exported types are:
- `pytest.Config` for `Config `{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
- `pytest.Mark` for `marks `{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
- `pytest.MarkDecorator` for `mark decorators `{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
- `pytest.MarkGenerator` for the `pytest.mark `{.interpreted-text role="class"} singleton.
- `pytest.Metafunc` for the `metafunc `{.interpreted-text role="class"} argument to the `pytest_generate_tests`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} hook.
- `pytest.CallInfo` for the `CallInfo `{.interpreted-text role="class"} type passed to various hooks.
- `pytest.PytestPluginManager` for `PytestPluginManager `{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
- `pytest.ExceptionInfo` for the `ExceptionInfo `{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from `pytest.raises`{.interpreted-text role="func"} and passed to various hooks.
- `pytest.Parser` for the `Parser `{.interpreted-text role="class"} type passed to the `pytest_addoption`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} hook.
- `pytest.OptionGroup` for the `OptionGroup `{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from the `parser.addgroup `{.interpreted-text role="func"} method.
- `pytest.HookRecorder` for the `HookRecorder `{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from `~pytest.Pytester`{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
- `pytest.RecordedHookCall` for the `RecordedHookCall `{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from `~pytest.HookRecorder`{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
- `pytest.RunResult` for the `RunResult `{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from `~pytest.Pytester`{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
- `pytest.LineMatcher` for the `LineMatcher `{.interpreted-text role="class"} type used in `~pytest.RunResult`{.interpreted-text role="class"} and others.
- `pytest.TestReport` for the `TestReport `{.interpreted-text role="class"} type used in various hooks.
- `pytest.CollectReport` for the `CollectReport `{.interpreted-text role="class"} type used in various hooks.
Constructing most of them directly is not supported; they are only meant for use in type annotations.
Doing so will emit a deprecation warning, and may become a hard-error in pytest 8.0.
Subclassing them is also not supported. This is not currently enforced at runtime, but is detected by type-checkers such as mypy.
- [#7856](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7856): `--import-mode=importlib `{.interpreted-text role="ref"} now works with features that
depend on modules being on :py`sys.modules`{.interpreted-text role="data"}, such as `pickle`{.interpreted-text role="mod"} and `dataclasses`{.interpreted-text role="mod"}.
- [#8144](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8144): The following hooks now receive an additional `pathlib.Path` argument, equivalent to an existing `py.path.local` argument:
- `pytest_ignore_collect`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - The `collection_path` parameter (equivalent to existing `path` parameter).
- `pytest_collect_file`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - The `file_path` parameter (equivalent to existing `path` parameter).
- `pytest_pycollect_makemodule`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - The `module_path` parameter (equivalent to existing `path` parameter).
- `pytest_report_header`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - The `start_path` parameter (equivalent to existing `startdir` parameter).
- `pytest_report_collectionfinish`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - The `start_path` parameter (equivalent to existing `startdir` parameter).

Both the old `fspath` and this new attribute gets set no matter whether `path` or `fspath` (deprecated) is passed to the constructor. It is a replacement for the `fspath` attribute (which represents the same path as `py.path.local`). While `fspath` is not deprecated yet
due to the ongoing migration of methods like `~_pytest.Item.reportinfo`{.interpreted-text role="meth"}, we expect to deprecate it in a future release.

- [#8606](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8606): pytest invocations with `--fixtures-per-test` and `--fixtures` have been enriched with:
- Fixture location path printed with the fixture name.
- First section of the fixture's docstring printed under the fixture name.
- Whole of fixture's docstring printed under the fixture name using `--verbose` option.
- [#8761](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8761): New `version-tuple`{.interpreted-text role="ref"} attribute, which makes it simpler for users to do something depending on the pytest version (such as declaring hooks which are introduced in later versions).
- [#8789](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8789): Switch TOML parser from `toml` to `tomli` for TOML v1.0.0 support in `pyproject.toml`.
- [#8920](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8920): Added `pytest.Stash`{.interpreted-text role="class"}, a facility for plugins to store their data on `~pytest.Config`{.interpreted-text role="class"} and `~_pytest.nodes.Node`{.interpreted-text role="class"}s in a type-safe and conflict-free manner.
See `plugin-stash`{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details.
- [#8953](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8953): `RunResult <_pytest.pytester.RunResult>`{.interpreted-text role="class"} method `assert_outcomes <_pytest.pytester.RunResult.assert_outcomes>`{.interpreted-text role="meth"} now accepts a
`warnings` argument to assert the total number of warnings captured.
- [#8954](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8954): `--debug` flag now accepts a `str`{.interpreted-text role="class"} file to route debug logs into, remains defaulted to \[pytestdebug.log]{.title-ref}.
- [#9023](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9023): Full diffs are now always shown for equality assertions of iterables when
\[CI]{.title-ref} or `BUILD_NUMBER` is found in the environment, even when `-v` isn't
used.
- [#9113](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9113): `RunResult <_pytest.pytester.RunResult>`{.interpreted-text role="class"} method `assert_outcomes <_pytest.pytester.RunResult.assert_outcomes>`{.interpreted-text role="meth"} now accepts a
`deselected` argument to assert the total number of deselected tests.
- [#9114](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9114): Added `pythonpath`{.interpreted-text role="confval"} setting that adds listed paths to `sys.path`{.interpreted-text role="data"} for the duration of the test session. If you currently use the pytest-pythonpath or pytest-srcpaths plugins, you should be able to replace them with built-in \[pythonpath]{.title-ref} setting.
## Improvements
- [#7480](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7480): A deprecation scheduled to be removed in a major version X (e.g. pytest 7, 8, 9, ...) now uses warning category \[PytestRemovedInXWarning]{.title-ref},
a subclass of `~pytest.PytestDeprecationWarning`{.interpreted-text role="class"},
instead of `PytestDeprecationWarning`{.interpreted-text role="class"} directly.
See `backwards-compatibility`{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more details.
- [#7864](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7864): Improved error messages when parsing warning filters.
Previously pytest would show an internal traceback, which besides being ugly sometimes would hide the cause
of the problem (for example an `ImportError` while importing a specific warning type).
- [#8335](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8335): Improved `pytest.approx`{.interpreted-text role="func"} assertion messages for sequences of numbers.
The assertion messages now dumps a table with the index and the error of each diff.
Example:
> assert [1, 2, 3, 4] == pytest.approx([1, 3, 3, 5])
E assert comparison failed for 2 values:
E Index | Obtained | Expected
E 1 | 2 | 3 +- 3.0e-06
E 3 | 4 | 5 +- 5.0e-06
- [#8403](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8403): By default, pytest will truncate long strings in assert errors so they don't clutter the output too much,
currently at `240` characters by default.
However, in some cases the longer output helps, or is even crucial, to diagnose a failure. Using `-v` will
now increase the truncation threshold to `2400` characters, and `-vv` or higher will disable truncation entirely.
- [#8509](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8509): Fixed issue where `unittest.TestCase.setUpClass`{.interpreted-text role="meth"} is not called when a test has \[/]{.title-ref}
