v8.3.1
pytest 8.3.1 (2024-07-20)
The 8.3.0 release failed to include the change notes and docs for the release. This patch release remedies this. There are no other changes.
v8.3.0
pytest 8.3.0 (2024-07-20)
New features
-
#12231: Added [--xfail-tb]{.title-ref} flag, which turns on traceback output for XFAIL results.
- If the [--xfail-tb]{.title-ref} flag is not given, tracebacks for XFAIL results are NOT shown.
- The style of traceback for XFAIL is set with [--tb]{.title-ref}, and can be [auto|long|short|line|native|no]{.title-ref}.
- Note: Even if you have [--xfail-tb]{.title-ref} set, you won't see them if [--tb=no]{.title-ref}.
Some history:
With pytest 8.0, [-rx]{.title-ref} or [-ra]{.title-ref} would not only turn on summary reports for xfail, but also report the tracebacks for xfail results. This caused issues with some projects that utilize xfail, but don't want to see all of the xfail tracebacks.
This change detaches xfail tracebacks from [-rx]{.title-ref}, and now we turn on xfail tracebacks with [--xfail-tb]{.title-ref}. With this, the default [-rx]{.title-ref}/ [-ra]{.title-ref} behavior is identical to pre-8.0 with respect to xfail tracebacks. While this is a behavior change, it brings default behavior back to pre-8.0.0 behavior, which ultimately was considered the better course of action.
-
#12281: Added support for keyword matching in marker expressions.
Now tests can be selected by marker keyword arguments. Supported values are
int
{.interpreted-text role="class"}, (unescaped)str
{.interpreted-text role="class"},bool
{.interpreted-text role="class"} &None
{.interpreted-text role="data"}.See
marker examples <marker_keyword_expression_example>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more information.-- by
lovetheguitar
{.interpreted-text role="user"} -
#12567: Added
--no-fold-skipped
command line option.If this option is set, then skipped tests in short summary are no longer grouped by reason but all tests are printed individually with their nodeid in the same way as other statuses.

Improvements in existing functionality
-
#12469: The console output now uses the "third-party plugins" terminology, replacing the previously established but confusing and outdated reference to
setuptools <setuptools:index>
{.interpreted-text role="std:doc"} -- bywebknjaz
{.interpreted-text role="user"}. -
#12544, #12545: Python virtual environment detection was improved by checking for a
pyvenv.cfg
{.interpreted-text role="file"} file, ensuring reliable detection on various platforms -- byzachsnickers
{.interpreted-text role="user"}. -
#2871: Do not truncate arguments to functions in output when running with [-vvv]{.title-ref}.
-
#389: The readability of assertion introspection of bound methods has been enhanced -- by
farbodahm
{.interpreted-text role="user"},webknjaz
{.interpreted-text role="user"},obestwalter
{.interpreted-text role="user"},flub
{.interpreted-text role="user"} andglyphack
{.interpreted-text role="user"}.Earlier, it was like:
=================================== FAILURES =================================== _____________________________________ test _____________________________________ def test(): > assert Help().fun() == 2 E assert 1 == 2 E + where 1 = <bound method Help.fun of <example.Help instance at 0x256a830>>() E + where <bound method Help.fun of <example.Help instance at 0x256a830>> = <example.Help instance at 0x256a830>.fun E + where <example.Help instance at 0x256a830> = Help() example.py:7: AssertionError =========================== 1 failed in 0.03 seconds ===========================
And now it's like:
=================================== FAILURES =================================== _____________________________________ test _____________________________________ def test(): > assert Help().fun() == 2 E assert 1 == 2 E + where 1 = fun() E + where fun = <test_local.Help object at 0x1074be230>.fun E + where <test_local.Help object at 0x1074be230> = Help() test_local.py:13: AssertionError =========================== 1 failed in 0.03 seconds ===========================
-
#7662: Added timezone information to the testsuite timestamp in the JUnit XML report.
Bug fixes
-
#11706: Fixed reporting of teardown errors in higher-scoped fixtures when using [--maxfail]{.title-ref} or [--stepwise]{.title-ref}.
Originally added in pytest 8.0.0, but reverted in 8.0.2 due to a regression in pytest-xdist. This regression was fixed in pytest-xdist 3.6.1.
-
#11797:
pytest.approx
{.interpreted-text role="func"} now correctly handlesSequence <collections.abc.Sequence>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}-like objects. -
#12204, #12264: Fixed a regression in pytest 8.0 where tracebacks get longer and longer when multiple tests fail due to a shared higher-scope fixture which raised -- by
bluetech
{.interpreted-text role="user"}.Also fixed a similar regression in pytest 5.4 for collectors which raise during setup.
The fix necessitated internal changes which may affect some plugins:
-
FixtureDef.cached_result[2]
is now a tuple(exc, tb)
instead ofexc
. -
SetupState.stack
failures are now a tuple(exc, tb)
instead ofexc
.
-
-
#12275: Fixed collection error upon encountering an
abstract <abc>
{.interpreted-text role="mod"} class, including abstract [unittest.TestCase]{.title-ref} subclasses. -
#12328: Fixed a regression in pytest 8.0.0 where package-scoped parameterized items were not correctly reordered to minimize setups/teardowns in some cases.
-
#12424: Fixed crash with [assert testcase is not None]{.title-ref} assertion failure when re-running unittest tests using plugins like pytest-rerunfailures. Regressed in 8.2.2.
-
#12472: Fixed a crash when returning category
"error"
or"failed"
with a custom test status frompytest_report_teststatus
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} hook --pbrezina
{.interpreted-text role="user"}. -
#12505: Improved handling of invalid regex patterns in
pytest.raises(match=r'...') <pytest.raises>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} by providing a clear error message. -
#12580: Fixed a crash when using the cache class on Windows and the cache directory was created concurrently.
-
#6962: Parametrization parameters are now compared using [==]{.title-ref} instead of [is]{.title-ref} ([is]{.title-ref} is still used as a fallback if the parameter does not support [==]{.title-ref}). This fixes use of parameters such as lists, which have a different [id]{.title-ref} but compare equal, causing fixtures to be re-computed instead of being cached.
-
#7166: Fixed progress percentages (the
[ 87%]
at the edge of the screen) sometimes not aligning correctly when running with pytest-xdist-n
.
Improved documentation
-
#12153: Documented using
PYTEST_VERSION
{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} to detect if code is running from within a pytest run. -
#12469: The external plugin mentions in the documentation now avoid mentioning
setuptools entry-points <setuptools:index>
{.interpreted-text role="std:doc"} as the concept is much more generic nowadays. Instead, the terminology of "external", "installed", or "third-party" plugins (or packages) replaces that.-- by
webknjaz
{.interpreted-text role="user"} -
#12577: [CI]{.title-ref} and [BUILD_NUMBER]{.title-ref} environment variables role is discribed in the reference doc. They now also appear when doing [pytest -h]{.title-ref} -- by
MarcBresson
{.interpreted-text role="user"}.
Contributor-facing changes
-
#12467: Migrated all internal type-annotations to the python3.10+ style by using the [annotations]{.title-ref} future import.
-- by
RonnyPfannschmidt
{.interpreted-text role="user"} -
#11771, #12557: The PyPy runtime version has been updated to 3.9 from 3.8 that introduced a flaky bug at the garbage collector which was not expected to fix there as the 3.8 is EoL.
-- by
x612skm
{.interpreted-text role="user"} -
#12493: The change log draft preview integration has been refactored to use a third party extension
sphinxcontib-towncrier
. The previous in-repo script was putting the change log preview file atdoc/en/_changelog_towncrier_draft.rst
{.interpreted-text role="file"}. Said file is no longer ignored in Git and might show up among untracked files in the development environments of the contributors. To address that, the contributors can run the following command that will clean it up:$ git clean -x -i -- doc/en/_changelog_towncrier_draft.rst

{.interpreted-text role="user"} -
#12498: All the undocumented
tox
environments now have descriptions. They can be listed in one's development environment by invokingtox -av
in a terminal.-- by
webknjaz
{.interpreted-text role="user"} -
#12501: The changelog configuration has been updated to introduce more accurate audience-tailored categories. Previously, there was a
trivial
change log fragment type with an unclear and broad meaning. It was removed and we now havecontrib
,misc
andpackaging
in place of it.The new change note types target the readers who are downstream packagers and project contributors. Additionally, the miscellaneous section is kept for unspecified updates that do not fit anywhere else.
-- by
webknjaz
{.interpreted-text role="user"} -
#12502: The UX of the GitHub automation making pull requests to update the plugin list has been updated. Previously, the maintainers had to close the automatically created pull requests and re-open them to trigger the CI runs. From now on, they only need to click the [Ready for review]{.title-ref} button instead.
-- by
webknjaz
{.interpreted-text role="user"} -
#12522: The
:pull:
RST role has been replaced with a shorter:pr:
due to starting to use the implementation from the third-partysphinx-issues
{.interpreted-text role="pypi"} Sphinx extension -- bywebknjaz
{.interpreted-text role="user"}. -
#12531: The coverage reporting configuration has been updated to exclude pytest's own tests marked as expected to fail from the coverage report. This has an effect of reducing the influence of flaky tests on the resulting number.
-- by
webknjaz
{.interpreted-text role="user"} -
#12533: The
extlinks
Sphinx extension is no longer enabled. The:bpo:
role it used to declare has been removed with that. BPO itself has migrated to GitHub some years ago and it is possible to link the respective issues by using their GitHub issue numbers and the:issue:
role that thesphinx-issues
extension implements.-- by
webknjaz
{.interpreted-text role="user"} -
#12562: Possible typos in using the
:user:
RST role is now being linted through the pre-commit tool integration -- bywebknjaz
{.interpreted-text role="user"}.

.pytest_cache
) creation. Regressed in pytest 8.2.0.
Improved Documentation
- #12290: Updated Sphinx theme to use Furo instead of Flask, enabling Dark mode theme.
- #12356: Added a subsection to the documentation for debugging flaky tests to mention lack of thread safety in pytest as a possible source of flakyness.
- #12363: The documentation webpages now links to a canonical version to reduce outdated documentation in search engine results.
v8.2.1
pytest 8.2.1 (2024-05-19)
Improvements
- #12334: Support for Python 3.13 (beta1 at the time of writing).
Bug Fixes
- #12120: Fix [PermissionError]{.title-ref} crashes arising from directories which are not selected on the command-line.
- #12191: Keyboard interrupts and system exits are now properly handled during the test collection.
- #12300: Fixed handling of 'Function not implemented' error under squashfuse_ll, which is a different way to say that the mountpoint is read-only.
-
#12308: Fix a regression in pytest 8.2.0 where the permissions of automatically-created
.pytest_cache
directories becamerwx------
instead of the expectedrwxr-xr-x
.
Trivial/Internal Changes

v8.2.0
pytest 8.2.0 (2024-04-27)
Deprecations
-
#12069: A deprecation warning is now raised when implementations of one of the following hooks request a deprecated
py.path.local
parameter instead of thepathlib.Path
parameter which replaced it:-
pytest_ignore_collect
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - thepath
parameter - usecollection_path
instead. -
pytest_collect_file
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - thepath
parameter - usefile_path
instead. -
pytest_pycollect_makemodule
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - thepath
parameter - usemodule_path
instead. -
pytest_report_header
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - thestartdir
parameter - usestart_path
instead. -
pytest_report_collectionfinish
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - thestartdir
parameter - usestart_path
instead.
The replacement parameters are available since pytest 7.0.0. The old parameters will be removed in pytest 9.0.0.
See
legacy-path-hooks-deprecated
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more details. -
Features
-
#11871: Added support for reading command line arguments from a file using the prefix character
@
, like e.g.:pytest @​tests.txt
. The file must have one argument per line.See
Read arguments from file <args-from-file>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details.
Improvements
-
#11523:
pytest.importorskip
{.interpreted-text role="func"} will now issue a warning if the module could be found, but raisedImportError
{.interpreted-text role="class"} instead ofModuleNotFoundError
{.interpreted-text role="class"}.The warning can be suppressed by passing
exc_type=ImportError
topytest.importorskip
{.interpreted-text role="func"}.See
import-or-skip-import-error
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details. -
#11728: For
unittest
-based tests, exceptions during class cleanup (as raised by functions registered withTestCase.addClassCleanup <unittest.TestCase.addClassCleanup>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"}) are now reported instead of silently failing. -
#11777: Text is no longer truncated in the
short test summary info
section when-vv
is given. -
#12112: Improved namespace packages detection when
consider_namespace_packages
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} is enabled, covering more situations (like editable installs). -
#9502: Added
PYTEST_VERSION
{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} environment variable which is defined at the start of the pytest session and undefined afterwards. It contains the value ofpytest.__version__
, and among other things can be used to easily check if code is running from within a pytest run.
Bug Fixes
-
#12065: Fixed a regression in pytest 8.0.0 where test classes containing
setup_method
and tests using@staticmethod
or@classmethod
would crash withAttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setup_method'
.Now the
request.instance <pytest.FixtureRequest.instance>
{.interpreted-text role="attr"} attribute of tests using@staticmethod
and@classmethod
is no longerNone
, but a fresh instance of the class, like in non-static methods. Previously it wasNone
, and all fixtures of such tests would share a singleself
. -
#12135: Fixed issue where fixtures adding their finalizer multiple times to fixtures they request would cause unreliable and non-intuitive teardown ordering in some instances.
-
#12194: Fixed a bug with
--importmode=importlib
and--doctest-modules
where child modules did not appear as attributes in parent modules. -
#1489: Fixed some instances where teardown of higher-scoped fixtures was not happening in the reverse order they were initialized in.
Trivial/Internal Changes
-
#12069:
pluggy>=1.5.0
is now required. -
#12167:
cache <cache>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"}: create supporting files (CACHEDIR.TAG
,.gitignore
, etc.) in a temporary directory to provide atomic semantics.
v8.1.2
pytest 8.1.2 (2024-04-26)

#12114: Fixed error in
pytest.approx
{.interpreted-text role="func"} when used with [numpy]{.title-ref} arrays and comparing with other types.
v8.1.1
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: Added the new
consider_namespace_packages
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} configuration option, defaulting toFalse
.If set to
True
, pytest will attempt to identify modules that are part of namespace packages when importing modules. -
#11653: Added the new
verbosity_test_cases
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} configuration option for fine-grained control of test execution verbosity. SeeFine-grained verbosity <pytest.fine_grained_verbosity>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more details.
Improvements
-
#10865:
pytest.warns
{.interpreted-text role="func"} now validates thatwarnings.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 whenwarnings.filterwarnings
{.interpreted-text role="func"} is used to filter those warnings (see CPython #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: 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:
--import-mode=importlib <import-mode-importlib>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} now tries to import modules using the standard import mechanism (but still without changing :pysys.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: Added the
iter_parents() <_pytest.nodes.Node.iter_parents>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} helper method on nodes. It is similar tolistchain <_pytest.nodes.Node.listchain>
{.interpreted-text role="func"}, but goes from bottom to top, and returns an iterator, not a list. -
#11850: Added support for
sys.last_exc
{.interpreted-text role="data"} for post-mortem debugging on Python>=3.12. -
#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 therootdir
. -
#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: 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: Fixed regression where
--importmode=importlib
would import non-test modules more than once. -
#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
, see12043
{.interpreted-text role="pull"} for a comparison with pytest 8.0 and <8. -
#12011: Fixed a regression in 8.0.1 whereby
setup_module
xunit-style fixtures are not executed when--doctest-modules
is passed. -
#12014: Fix the
stacklevel
used when warning about marks used on fixtures. -
#12039: Fixed a regression in
8.0.2
where tests created usingtmp_path
{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} have been collected multiple times in CI under Windows.
Improved Documentation
-
#11790: Documented the retention of temporary directories created using the
tmp_path
fixture in more detail.
Trivial/Internal Changes
-
#11785: Some changes were made to private functions which may affect plugins which access them:
-
FixtureManager._getautousenames()
now takes aNode
itself instead of the nodeid. -
FixtureManager.getfixturedefs()
now takes theNode
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: 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. -

#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: 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

#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
, see12043
{.interpreted-text role="pull"} for a comparison with pytest 8.0 and <8. -
#12011: Fixed a regression in 8.0.1 whereby
setup_module
xunit-style fixtures are not executed when--doctest-modules
is passed. -
#12014: Fix the
stacklevel
used when warning about marks used on fixtures. -
#12039: Fixed a regression in
8.0.2
where tests created usingtmp_path
{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} have been collected multiple times in CI under Windows.
Improved Documentation
-
#11790: Documented the retention of temporary directories created using the
tmp_path
fixture in more detail.
Trivial/Internal Changes
-
#11785: Some changes were made to private functions which may affect plugins which access them:
-
FixtureManager._getautousenames()
now takes aNode
itself instead of the nodeid. -
FixtureManager.getfixturedefs()
now takes theNode
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.

#11306: Fixed bug using
--importmode=importlib
which would cause package__init__.py
files to be imported more than once in some cases. -

v7.4.0
pytest 7.4.0 (2023-06-23)
Features
-
#10901: Added
ExceptionInfo.from_exception() <pytest.ExceptionInfo.from_exception>
{.interpreted-text role="func"}, a simpler way to create an~pytest.ExceptionInfo
{.interpreted-text role="class"} from an exception. This can replaceExceptionInfo.from_exc_info() <pytest.ExceptionInfo.from_exc_info()>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} for most uses.
Improvements
-
#10872: Update test log report annotation to named tuple and fixed inconsistency in docs for
pytest_report_teststatus
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} hook. -
#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: Improved verbose output (
-vv
) ofskip
andxfail
reasons by performing text wrapping while leaving a clear margin for progress output.Added
TerminalReporter.wrap_write()
as a helper for that. -
#10991: Added handling of
%f
directive to print microseconds in log format options, such aslog-date-format
. -
#11005: Added the underlying exception to the cache provider's path creation and write warning messages.
-
#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: 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 <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: The
norecursedirs
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} check is now performed in apytest_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.

--last-failed
whole-file skipping functionality ("skipped N files") fornon-python test files <non-python tests>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"}. -
#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 thetestpaths
are only considered when they are in use. -
#1904: Fixed traceback entries hidden with

{.interpreted-text role="confval"} option. -
#10903: Fix crash
INTERNALERROR IndexError: list index out of range

v7.3.0
pytest 7.3.0 (2023-04-08)
Features
-
#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:
console_output_style
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} now supportsprogress-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:
--log-disable
CLI option added to disable individual loggers. -
#8141: Added
tmp_path_retention_count
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} andtmp_path_retention_policy
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} configuration options to control how directories created by thetmp_path
{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} fixture are kept.
Improvements
-
#10226: If multiple errors are raised in teardown, we now re-raise an
ExceptionGroup
of them instead of discarding all but the last. -
#10658: Allow
-p
arguments to include spaces (eg:-p no:logging
instead of-pno:logging
). Mostly useful in theaddopts
section of the configuration file. -
#10710: Added
start
andstop
timestamps toTestReport

#10727: Split the report header for
rootdir
,config file

so each has its own line. - #10840: pytest should no longer crash on AST with pathological position attributes, for example testing AST produced by [Hylang <https://github.com/hylang/hy>\__]{.title-ref}.
- #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: The assertion rewriting mechanism now works correctly when assertion expressions contain the walrus operator.
-

#10533: Fixed
pytest.approx
{.interpreted-text role="func"} handling of dictionaries containing one or more values of [0.0]{.title-ref}. - #10592: Fixed crash if [--cache-show]{.title-ref} and [--help]{.title-ref} are passed at the same time.

down to 'ContextManager' rather than 'object'.
Improved Documentation
- #10690: Added [CI]{.title-ref} and [BUILD_NUMBER]{.title-ref} environment variables to the documentation.
- #10721: Fixed entry-points declaration in the documentation example using Hatch.

Deprecations
-
#10012: Update
pytest.PytestUnhandledCoroutineWarning
{.interpreted-text role="class"} to a deprecation; it will raise an error in pytest 8. -
#10396: pytest no longer depends on the
py
library.pytest
provides a vendored copy ofpy.error
andpy.path
modules but will use thepy
library if it is installed. If you need otherpy.*
modules, continue to install the deprecatedpy
library separately, otherwise it can usually be removed as a dependency. -
#4562: Deprecate configuring hook specs/impls using attributes/marks.
Instead use :py
pytest.hookimpl
{.interpreted-text role="func"} and :pypytest.hookspec
{.interpreted-text role="func"}. For more details, see thedocs <legacy-path-hooks-deprecated>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"}. -
#9886: The functionality for running tests written for

{.interpreted-text role="ref"}. - Plain
Features
-
#9897: Added shell-style wildcard support to

.
Improvements
-
#10218:
@pytest.mark.parametrize()
(and similar functions) now accepts anySequence[str]
for the argument names, instead of justlist[str]
andtuple[str, ...]
.(Note that
str
, which is itself aSequence[str]
, is still treated as a comma-delimited name list, as before). -
#10381: The
--no-showlocals
flag has been added. This can be passed directly to tests to override--showlocals
declared throughaddopts
. -
#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: 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: 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 :pypytest.raises
{.interpreted-text role="func"}. -
#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: 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: Display assertion message without escaped newline characters with

Bug Fixes
-
#10150:
sys.stdin
{.interpreted-text role="data"} now contains all expected methods of a file-like object when capture is enabled. -
#10382: Do not break into pdb when
raise unittest.SkipTest()
appears top-level in a file. -
#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: 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 inExceptionGroups

#9437: Dropped support for Python 3.6, which reached end-of-life at 2021-12-23.
Improvements
-
#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: pytest now avoids specialized assert formatting when it is detected that the default
__eq__
is overridden inattrs
ordataclasses
. -
#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: More information about the location of resources that led Python to raise
ResourceWarning
{.interpreted-text role="class"} can now be obtained by enablingtracemalloc
{.interpreted-text role="mod"}.See
resource-warnings
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more information. -
#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:
pytest.approx
{.interpreted-text role="func"} now raises aTypeError
{.interpreted-text role="class"} when given an unordered sequence (such asset
{.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: 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: 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 astests/real/conftest.py
and once astests/link/conftest.py
. This is a fix to match a similar change made to test collection itself in pytest 6.0 (see6523
{.interpreted-text role="pull"} for details). -
#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: Fixed regression where
--import-mode=importlib
used together withPYTHONPATH
{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} orpythonpath
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} would cause import errors in test suites. -
#9708:
pytester
{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} now requests amonkeypatch
{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} fixture instead of creating one internally. This solves some issues with tests that involve pytest environment variables. -
#9730: Malformed
pyproject.toml
files now produce a clearer error message.
v7.0.1
pytest 7.0.1 (2022-02-11)
Bug Fixes
-
#9608: Fix invalid importing of
importlib.readers
in Python 3.9. - #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: The
pythonpath
plugin was renamed topython_path
. This avoids a conflict with thepytest-pythonpath

#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 usingstandard warning filters <warnings>

(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
. Seeuncooperative-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 thepytest_cmdline_main <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_cmdline_main>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} hook (regression during7.0.0rc1
).
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.
-
#8246:
--version
now writes version information tostdout
rather thanstderr
. -
#8733: Drop a workaround for pyreadline that made it work with
--pdb
.The workaround was introduced in #1281 in 2015, however since then pyreadline seems to have gone unmaintained, is generating warnings, and will stop working on Python 3.10.
-
#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:assert pytest.approx(actual, expected)
While the correct usage is:
assert actual == pytest.approx(expected)
The new error message helps catch those mistakes.
-
#9277: The
pytest.Instance
collector type has been removed. Importingpytest.Instance
or_pytest.python.Instance
returns a dummy type and emits a deprecation warning. Seeinstance-collector-deprecation
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details. -
#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 yourpytest.ini
file:[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:
py.path.local
arguments for hooks have been deprecated. Seethe deprecation note <legacy-path-hooks-deprecated>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details.py.path.local
arguments to Node constructors have been deprecated. Seethe deprecation note <node-ctor-fspath-deprecation>
{.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 beingpath
) is the opposite of the situation for hooks (the old argument beingpath
).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 (see9283
{.interpreted-text role="issue"} for a longer discussion). ::: -
#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: Raising
unittest.SkipTest
{.interpreted-text role="class"} to skip collection of tests during the pytest collection phase is deprecated. Usepytest.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 ofunittest.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: Several behaviors of
Parser.addoption <pytest.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")
- usetype=int
etc. instead.
-
-
#8447: Defining a custom pytest node type which is both an
pytest.Item <Item>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} and apytest.Collector <Collector>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} (e.g.pytest.File <File>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}) now issues a warning. It was never sanely supported and triggers hard to debug errors.See
the deprecation note <diamond-inheritance-deprecated>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details. -
#8592:
pytest_cmdline_preparse
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} has been officially deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. Usepytest_load_initial_conftests
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} instead.See
the deprecation note <cmdline-preparse-deprecated>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details. -
#8645:
pytest.warns(None) <pytest.warns>
{.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 - likepytest.warns()
orpytest.warns(Warning)
. -
#8948:
pytest.skip(msg=...) <pytest.skip>
{.interpreted-text role="func"},pytest.fail(msg=...) <pytest.fail>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} andpytest.exit(msg=...) <pytest.exit>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} signatures now accept areason
argument instead ofmsg
. Usingmsg
still works, but is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.This was changed for consistency with
pytest.mark.skip <pytest.mark.skip>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} andpytest.mark.xfail <pytest.mark.xfail>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} which both acceptreason
as an argument. -
#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
returnsPath
instead ofpy.path.local
. - The
path
property of_pytest.code.TracebackEntry
returnsPath
instead ofpy.path.local
.
There was no deprecation period for this change (sorry!).
- The
Features
-
#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: Added two environment variables
PYTEST_THEME
{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} andPYTEST_THEME_MODE
{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} to let the users customize the pygments theme used. -
#7259: Added
cache.mkdir() <pytest.Cache.mkdir>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"}, which is similar to the existingcache.makedir() <pytest.Cache.makedir>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"}, but returns apathlib.Path
{.interpreted-text role="class"} instead of a legacypy.path.local
.Added a
paths
type toparser.addini() <pytest.Parser.addini>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"}, as inparser.addini("mypaths", "my paths", type="paths")
, which is similar to the existingpathlist
, but returns a list ofpathlib.Path
{.interpreted-text role="class"} instead of legacypy.path.local
. -
#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
forConfig <pytest.Config>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}. -
pytest.Mark
formarks <pytest.Mark>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}. -
pytest.MarkDecorator
formark decorators <pytest.MarkDecorator>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}. -
pytest.MarkGenerator
for thepytest.mark <pytest.MarkGenerator>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} singleton. -
pytest.Metafunc
for themetafunc <pytest.MarkGenerator>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} argument to thepytest_generate_tests
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} hook. -
pytest.CallInfo
for theCallInfo <pytest.CallInfo>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type passed to various hooks. -
pytest.PytestPluginManager
forPytestPluginManager <pytest.PytestPluginManager>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}. -
pytest.ExceptionInfo
for theExceptionInfo <pytest.ExceptionInfo>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned frompytest.raises
{.interpreted-text role="func"} and passed to various hooks. -
pytest.Parser
for theParser <pytest.Parser>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type passed to thepytest_addoption
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} hook. -
pytest.OptionGroup
for theOptionGroup <pytest.OptionGroup>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from theparser.addgroup <pytest.Parser.getgroup>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} method. -
pytest.HookRecorder
for theHookRecorder <pytest.HookRecorder>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from~pytest.Pytester
{.interpreted-text role="class"}. -
pytest.RecordedHookCall
for theRecordedHookCall <pytest.HookRecorder>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from~pytest.HookRecorder
{.interpreted-text role="class"}. -
pytest.RunResult
for theRunResult <pytest.RunResult>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from~pytest.Pytester
{.interpreted-text role="class"}. -
pytest.LineMatcher
for theLineMatcher <pytest.RunResult>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type used in~pytest.RunResult
{.interpreted-text role="class"} and others. -

for theTestReport <pytest.TestReport>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type used in various hooks. -
pytest.CollectReport
for theCollectReport <pytest.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:
--import-mode=importlib <import-modes>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} now works with features that depend on modules being on :pysys.modules
{.interpreted-text role="data"}, such aspickle
{.interpreted-text role="mod"} anddataclasses
{.interpreted-text role="mod"}. -
#8144: The following hooks now receive an additional
pathlib.Path
argument, equivalent to an existingpy.path.local
argument:-
pytest_ignore_collect
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - Thecollection_path
parameter (equivalent to existingpath
parameter). -
pytest_collect_file
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - Thefile_path
parameter (equivalent to existingpath
parameter). -

{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - Thestart_path
parameter (equivalent to existingstartdir
parameter). -
pytest_report_collectionfinish

parameter (equivalent to existingstartdir
parameter).
::: {.note} ::: {.admonition-title} Note :::

#8251: Implement
Node.path
as apathlib.Path
. Both the oldfspath
and this new attribute gets set no matter whetherpath
orfspath
(deprecated) is passed to the constructor. It is a replacement for thefspath
attribute (which represents the same path aspy.path.local

#8421:
pytest.approx
{.interpreted-text role="func"} now works on~decimal.Decimal
{.interpreted-text role="class"} within mappings/dicts and sequences/lists. -
#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: 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: Switch TOML parser from
toml
totomli
for TOML v1.0.0 support inpyproject.toml
. -
#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. Seeplugin-stash
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details. -
#8953:
RunResult <_pytest.pytester.RunResult>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} methodassert_outcomes <_pytest.pytester.RunResult.assert_outcomes>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} now accepts awarnings
argument to assert the total number of warnings captured. -
#8954:
--debug
flag now accepts astr
{.interpreted-text role="class"} file to route debug logs into, remains defaulted to [pytestdebug.log]{.title-ref}. -
#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:
RunResult <_pytest.pytester.RunResult>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} methodassert_outcomes <_pytest.pytester.RunResult.assert_outcomes>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} now accepts adeselected
argument to assert the total number of deselected tests. -
#9114: Added
pythonpath
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} setting that adds listed paths tosys.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: 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 ofPytestDeprecationWarning
{.interpreted-text role="class"} directly.See
backwards-compatibility
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more details. -
#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: 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: 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 to2400
characters, and-vv
or higher will disable truncation entirely. -
#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 IDtests/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: 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 apytest_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: 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: Complex numbers are now treated like floats and integers when generating parameterization IDs.
-
#9062:
--stepwise-skip
now implicitly enables--stepwise
and can be used on its own. -
#9205:
pytest.Cache.set
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} now preserves key order when saving dicts.
Bug Fixes
-
#7124: Fixed an issue where
__main__.py
would raise anImportError
when--doctest-modules
was provided. -
#8061: Fixed failing
staticmethod
test cases if they are inherited from a parent test class. -
#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 theext
argument. -
#8258: Fixed issue where pytest's
faulthandler
support would not dump traceback on crashes if thefaulthandler
{.interpreted-text role="mod"} module was already enabled during pytest startup (usingpython -X dev -m pytest
for example). -
#8317: Fixed an issue where illegal directory characters derived from
getpass.getuser()
raised anOSError
. -
#8367: Fix
Class.from_parent
so it forwards extra keyword arguments to the constructor. -
#8377: The test selection options
pytest -k
andpytest -m
now support matching names containing forward slash (/
) characters. -
#8384: The
@pytest.mark.skip
decorator now correctly handles its arguments. When thereason
argument is accidentally given both positional and as a keyword (e.g. because it was confused withskipif
), aTypeError
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: 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: 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:
-c <config file>
now also properly definesrootdir
as the directory that contains<config file>
. -
#8503:
pytest.MonkeyPatch.syspath_prepend
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} no longer fails whensetuptools
is not installed. It now only callspkg_resources.fixup_namespace_packages
{.interpreted-text role="func"} ifpkg_resources
was previously imported, because it is not needed otherwise. -
#8548: Introduce fix to handle precision width in
log-cli-format
in turn to fix output coloring for certain formats. -
#8796: Fixed internal error when skipping doctests.
-
#8983: The test selection options
pytest -k
andpytest -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: Fix [pytest -vv]{.title-ref} crashing with an internal exception [AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'relative_to']{.title-ref} in some cases.
-
#9077: Fixed confusing error message when
request.fspath
/request.path
was accessed from a session-scoped fixture. -
#9163: The end line number and end column offset are now properly set for rewritten assert statements.
-
#9169: Support for the
files
API fromimportlib.resources
within rewritten files. -
#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: Improved docs for [pytester.copy_example]{.title-ref}.
-
#5105: Add automatically generated
plugin-list
{.interpreted-text role="ref"}. The list is updated on a periodic schedule. -
#8337: Recommend numpy.testing module on
pytest.approx
{.interpreted-text role="func"} documentation. -
#8655: Help text for
--pdbcls
more accurately reflects the option's behavior. -
#9210: Remove incorrect docs about
confcutdir
being a configuration option: it can only be set through the--confcutdir
command-line option. - #9242: Upgrade readthedocs configuration to use a newer Ubuntu version` with better unicode support for PDF docs.
-
#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.

function takesPath
instead ofpy.path.local
. - The

inherit fromnodes.Node
to carry over typing information. -
#8432: Improve error message when

{.interpreted-text role="func"} is used at module level without passing [allow_module_level=True]{.title-ref}. -
#8818: Ensure
regendoc
opts out ofTOX_ENV
cachedir selection to ensure independent example test runs. -
#8913: The private
CallSpec2._arg2scopenum
attribute has been removed after an internal refactoring. -
#8967:
pytest_assertion_pass
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} is no longer considered experimental and future changes to it will be considered more carefully. - #9202: Add github action to upload coverage report to codecov instead of bash uploader.
- #9225: Changed the command used to create sdist and wheel artifacts: using the build package instead of setup.py.
- #9351: Correct minor typos in doc/en/example/special.rst.
