[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.
::: {.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](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).

- [#8251](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8251): Implement `Node.path` as a `pathlib.Path`. 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.

:::
- [#8421](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8421): `pytest.approx`{.interpreted-text role="func"} now works on `~decimal.Decimal`{.interpreted-text role="class"} within mappings/dicts and sequences/lists.
- [#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} in its name since pytest 6.2.0.
This refers to the path part in pytest node IDs, e.g. `TestClass::test_it` in the node ID `tests/test_file.py::TestClass::test_it`.
Now, instead of assuming that the test name does not contain `/`, it is assumed that test path does not contain `::`. We plan to hopefully make both of these work in the future.
- [#8803](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8803): It is now possible to add colors to custom log levels on cli log.
By using `add_color_level <_pytest.logging.add_color_level>`{.interpreted-text role="func"} from a `pytest_configure` hook, colors can be added:
logging_plugin = config.pluginmanager.get_plugin('logging-plugin')
logging_plugin.log_cli_handler.formatter.add_color_level(logging.INFO, 'cyan')
logging_plugin.log_cli_handler.formatter.add_color_level(logging.SPAM, 'blue')
See `log_colors`{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more information.
- [#8822](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8822): When showing fixture paths in \[--fixtures]{.title-ref} or \[--fixtures-by-test]{.title-ref}, fixtures coming from pytest itself now display an elided path, rather than the full path to the file in the \[site-packages]{.title-ref} directory.
- [#8898](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8898): Complex numbers are now treated like floats and integers when generating parameterization IDs.
- [#9062](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9062): `--stepwise-skip` now implicitly enables `--stepwise` and can be used on its own.
- [#9205](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9205): `pytest.Cache.set`{.interpreted-text role="meth"} now preserves key order when saving dicts.
## Bug Fixes
- [#7124](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7124): Fixed an issue where `__main__.py` would raise an `ImportError` when `--doctest-modules` was provided.
- [#8061](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8061): Fixed failing `staticmethod` test cases if they are inherited from a parent test class.
- [#8192](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8192): `testdir.makefile` now silently accepts values which don't start with `.` to maintain backward compatibility with older pytest versions.
`pytester.makefile` now issues a clearer error if the `.` is missing in the `ext` argument.
- [#8258](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8258): Fixed issue where pytest's `faulthandler` support would not dump traceback on crashes
if the `faulthandler`{.interpreted-text role="mod"} module was already enabled during pytest startup (using
`python -X dev -m pytest` for example).
- [#8317](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8317): Fixed an issue where illegal directory characters derived from `getpass.getuser()` raised an `OSError`.
- [#8367](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8367): Fix `Class.from_parent` so it forwards extra keyword arguments to the constructor.
- [#8377](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8377): The test selection options `pytest -k` and `pytest -m` now support matching
names containing forward slash (`/`) characters.
- [#8384](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8384): The `@pytest.mark.skip` decorator now correctly handles its arguments. When the `reason` argument is accidentally given both positional and as a keyword (e.g. because it was confused with `skipif`), a `TypeError` now occurs. Before, such tests were silently skipped, and the positional argument ignored. Additionally, `reason` is now documented correctly as positional or keyword (rather than keyword-only).
- [#8394](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8394): Use private names for internal fixtures that handle classic setup/teardown so that they don't show up with the default `--fixtures` invocation (but they still show up with `--fixtures -v`).
- [#8456](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8456): The `required_plugins`{.interpreted-text role="confval"} config option now works correctly when pre-releases of plugins are installed, rather than falsely claiming that those plugins aren't installed at all.
- [#8464](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8464): `-c ` now also properly defines `rootdir` as the directory that contains ``.
- [#8503](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8503): `pytest.MonkeyPatch.syspath_prepend`{.interpreted-text role="meth"} no longer fails when
`setuptools` is not installed.
It now only calls `pkg_resources.fixup_namespace_packages`{.interpreted-text role="func"} if
`pkg_resources` was previously imported, because it is not needed otherwise.
- [#8548](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8548): Introduce fix to handle precision width in `log-cli-format` in turn to fix output coloring for certain formats.
- [#8796](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8796): Fixed internal error when skipping doctests.
- [#8983](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8983): The test selection options `pytest -k` and `pytest -m` now support matching names containing backslash (\[\\]{.title-ref}) characters.
Backslashes are treated literally, not as escape characters (the values being matched against are already escaped).
- [#8990](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8990): Fix \[pytest -vv]{.title-ref} crashing with an internal exception \[AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'relative_to']{.title-ref} in some cases.
- [#9077](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9077): Fixed confusing error message when `request.fspath` / `request.path` was accessed from a session-scoped fixture.
- [#9131](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9131): Fixed the URL used by `--pastebin` to use [bpa.st](http://bpa.st).
- [#9163](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9163): The end line number and end column offset are now properly set for rewritten assert statements.
- [#9169](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9169): Support for the `files` API from `importlib.resources` within rewritten files.
- [#9272](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9272): The nose compatibility module-level fixtures \[setup()]{.title-ref} and \[teardown()]{.title-ref} are now only called once per module, instead of for each test function.
They are now called even if object-level \[setup]{.title-ref}/\[teardown]{.title-ref} is defined.
## Improved Documentation
- [#4320](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4320): Improved docs for \[pytester.copy_example]{.title-ref}.
- [#5105](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/5105): Add automatically generated `plugin-list`{.interpreted-text role="ref"}. The list is updated on a periodic schedule.
- [#8337](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8337): Recommend [numpy.testing](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/routines.testing.html) module on `pytest.approx`{.interpreted-text role="func"} documentation.
- [#8655](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8655): Help text for `--pdbcls` more accurately reflects the option's behavior.
- [#9210](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9210): Remove incorrect docs about `confcutdir` being a configuration option: it can only be set through the `--confcutdir` command-line option.
- [#9242](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9242): Upgrade readthedocs configuration to use a [newer Ubuntu version](https://blog.readthedocs.com/new-build-specification/)\` with better unicode support for PDF docs.
- [#9341](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9341): Various methods commonly used for `non-python tests`{.interpreted-text role="ref"} are now correctly documented in the reference docs. They were undocumented previously.
## Trivial/Internal Changes
- [#8133](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8133): Migrate to `setuptools_scm` 6.x to use `SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION_FOR_PYTEST` for more robust release tooling.
- [#8174](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8174): The following changes have been made to internal pytest types/functions:
- The `_pytest.code.getfslineno()` function returns `Path` instead of `py.path.local`.
- The `_pytest.python.path_matches_patterns()` function takes `Path` instead of `py.path.local`.
- The `_pytest._code.Traceback.cut()` function accepts any `os.PathLike[str]`, not just `py.path.local`.
- [#8248](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8248): Internal Restructure: let `python.PyObjMixin` inherit from `nodes.Node` to carry over typing information.
- [#8432](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8432): Improve error message when `pytest.skip`{.interpreted-text role="func"} is used at module level without passing \[allow_module_level=True]{.title-ref}.
- [#8818](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8818): Ensure `regendoc` opts out of `TOX_ENV` cachedir selection to ensure independent example test runs.
- [#8913](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8913): The private `CallSpec2._arg2scopenum` attribute has been removed after an internal refactoring.
- [#8967](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8967): `pytest_assertion_pass`{.interpreted-text role="hook"} is no longer considered experimental and
future changes to it will be considered more carefully.
- [#9202](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9202): Add github action to upload coverage report to codecov instead of bash uploader.
- [#9225](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9225): Changed the command used to create sdist and wheel artifacts: using the build package instead of setup.py.
- [#9351](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9351): Correct minor typos in doc/en/example/special.rst.
