# pytest 8.1.1 (2024-03-08)
::: {.note}
::: {.title}
Note
:::
This release is not a usual bug fix release -- it contains features and improvements, being a follow up
to `8.1.0`, which has been yanked from PyPI.
:::
## Features
- [#11475](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11475): Added the new `consider_namespace_packages`{.interpreted-text role="confval"} configuration option, defaulting to `False`.
If set to `True`, pytest will attempt to identify modules that are part of [namespace packages](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages) when importing modules.
- [#11653](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11653): Added the new `verbosity_test_cases`{.interpreted-text role="confval"} configuration option for fine-grained control of test execution verbosity.
See `Fine-grained verbosity `{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more details.
## Improvements
- [#10865](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10865): `pytest.warns`{.interpreted-text role="func"} now validates that `warnings.warn`{.interpreted-text role="func"} was called with a \[str]{.title-ref} or a \[Warning]{.title-ref}.
Currently in Python it is possible to use other types, however this causes an exception when `warnings.filterwarnings`{.interpreted-text role="func"} is used to filter those warnings (see [CPython #103577](https://togithub.com/python/cpython/issues/103577) for a discussion).
While this can be considered a bug in CPython, we decided to put guards in pytest as the error message produced without this check in place is confusing.
- [#11311](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11311): When using `--override-ini` for paths in invocations without a configuration file defined, the current working directory is used
as the relative directory.
Previoulsy this would raise an `AssertionError`{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
- [#11475](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11475): `--import-mode=importlib `{.interpreted-text role="ref"} now tries to import modules using the standard import mechanism (but still without changing :py`sys.path`{.interpreted-text role="data"}), falling back to importing modules directly only if that fails.
This means that installed packages will be imported under their canonical name if possible first, for example `app.core.models`, instead of having the module name always be derived from their path (for example `.env310.lib.site_packages.app.core.models`).
- [#11801](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11801): Added the `iter_parents() <_pytest.nodes.Node.iter_parents>`{.interpreted-text role="func"} helper method on nodes.
It is similar to `listchain <_pytest.nodes.Node.listchain>`{.interpreted-text role="func"}, but goes from bottom to top, and returns an iterator, not a list.
- [#11850](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11850): Added support for `sys.last_exc`{.interpreted-text role="data"} for post-mortem debugging on Python>=3.12.
- [#11962](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11962): In case no other suitable candidates for configuration file are found, a `pyproject.toml` (even without a `[tool.pytest.ini_options]` table) will be considered as the configuration file and define the `rootdir`.
- [#11978](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11978): Add `--log-file-mode` option to the logging plugin, enabling appending to log-files. This option accepts either `"w"` or `"a"` and defaults to `"w"`.
Previously, the mode was hard-coded to be `"w"` which truncates the file before logging.
- [#12047](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12047): When multiple finalizers of a fixture raise an exception, now all exceptions are reported as an exception group.
Previously, only the first exception was reported.
## Bug Fixes
- [#11475](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11475): Fixed regression where `--importmode=importlib` would import non-test modules more than once.
- [#11904](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11904): Fixed a regression in pytest 8.0.0 that would cause test collection to fail due to permission errors when using `--pyargs`.
This change improves the collection tree for tests specified using `--pyargs`, see `12043`{.interpreted-text role="pull"} for a comparison with pytest 8.0 and <8.
- [#12011](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12011): Fixed a regression in 8.0.1 whereby `setup_module` xunit-style fixtures are not executed when `--doctest-modules` is passed.
- [#12014](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12014): Fix the `stacklevel` used when warning about marks used on fixtures.
- [#12039](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12039): Fixed a regression in `8.0.2` where tests created using `tmp_path`{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} have been collected multiple times in CI under Windows.
## Improved Documentation
- [#11790](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11790): Documented the retention of temporary directories created using the `tmp_path` fixture in more detail.
## Trivial/Internal Changes
- [#11785](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11785): Some changes were made to private functions which may affect plugins which access them:
- `FixtureManager._getautousenames()` now takes a `Node` itself instead of the nodeid.
- `FixtureManager.getfixturedefs()` now takes the `Node` itself instead of the nodeid.
- The `_pytest.nodes.iterparentnodeids()` function is removed without replacement.
Prefer to traverse the node hierarchy itself instead.
If you really need to, copy the function from the previous pytest release.
- [#12069](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12069): Delayed the deprecation of the following features to `9.0.0`:
- `node-ctor-fspath-deprecation`{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.
- `legacy-path-hooks-deprecated`{.interpreted-text role="ref"}.
It was discovered after `8.1.0` was released that the warnings about the impeding removal were not being displayed, so the team decided to revert the removal.
This is the reason for `8.1.0` being yanked.
# pytest 8.1.0 (YANKED)
::: {.note}
::: {.title}
Note
:::
This release has been **yanked**: it broke some plugins without the proper warning period, due to
some warnings not showing up as expected.
See [#12069](https://togithub.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12069).
