pytest 8.3.2 (2024-07-24)

Bug fixes

-- by RonnyPfannschmidt{.interpreted-text role="user"}

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.

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.

-- by pbrezina{.interpreted-text role="user"}

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console output now uses the "third-party plugins" terminology, replacing the previously established but confusing and outdated reference to setuptools 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"} -- by webknjaz{.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 -- by zachsnickers{.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"} and glyphack{.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 handles Sequence <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 of exc.
- SetupState.stack failures are now a tuple (exc, tb) instead of exc.
#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 from pytest_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 at doc/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
```
-- by webknjaz{.interpreted-text role="user"}
#12498: All the undocumented tox environments now have descriptions. They can be listed in one's development environment by invoking tox -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 have contrib, misc and packaging 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-party sphinx-issues{.interpreted-text role="pypi"} Sphinx extension -- by webknjaz{.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 the sphinx-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 -- by webknjaz{.interpreted-text role="user"}.

`v8.2.0`

Compare Source

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 the pathlib.Path parameter which replaced it:
- pytest_ignore_collect{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - the path parameter - use collection_path instead.
- pytest_collect_file{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - the path parameter - use file_path instead.
- pytest_pycollect_makemodule{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - the path parameter - use module_path instead.
- pytest_report_header{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - the startdir parameter - use start_path instead.
- pytest_report_collectionfinish{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - the startdir parameter - use start_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 raised ImportError{.interpreted-text role="class"} instead of ModuleNotFoundError{.interpreted-text role="class"}.

The warning can be suppressed by passing exc_type=ImportError to pytest.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 with TestCase.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 of pytest.__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 with AttributeError: '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 longer None, but a fresh instance of the class, like in non-static methods. Previously it was None, and all fixtures of such tests would share a single self.
#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.

::: {.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 to False.

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. See Fine-grained verbosity <pytest.fine_grained_verbosity>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more details.

Improvements

#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 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 to listchain <_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 the rootdir.
#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, see 12043{.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 using tmp_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 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: 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 8.0.1 (2024-02-16)

Bug Fixes

#11875: Correctly handle errors from getpass.getuser{.interpreted-text role="func"} in Python 3.13.
#11879: Fix an edge case where ExceptionInfo._stringify_exception could crash pytest.raises{.interpreted-text role="func"}.
#11906: Fix regression with pytest.warns{.interpreted-text role="func"} using custom warning subclasses which have more than one parameter in their [__init__]{.title-ref}.
#11907: Fix a regression in pytest 8.0.0 whereby calling pytest.skip{.interpreted-text role="func"} and similar control-flow exceptions within a pytest.warns(){.interpreted-text role="func"} block would get suppressed instead of propagating.
#11929: Fix a regression in pytest 8.0.0 whereby autouse fixtures defined in a module get ignored by the doctests in the module.
#11937: Fix a regression in pytest 8.0.0 whereby items would be collected in reverse order in some circumstances.

`v8.0.0`

See 8.0.0rc1 and 8.0.0rc2 for the full changes since pytest 7.4!

Bug Fixes

#11842: Properly escape the reason of a skip <pytest.mark.skip ref>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} mark when writing JUnit XML files.
#11861: Avoid microsecond exceeds 1_000_000 when using log-date-format with %f specifier, which might cause the test suite to crash.

`v7.4.4`

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

#11140: Fix non-string constants at the top of file being detected as docstrings on Python>=3.8.
#11572: Handle an edge case where sys.stderr{.interpreted-text role="data"} and sys.__stderr__{.interpreted-text role="data"} might already be closed when faulthandler{.interpreted-text role="ref"} is tearing down.
#11710: Fixed tracebacks from collection errors not getting pruned.
#7966: Removed unhelpful error message from assertion rewrite mechanism when exceptions are raised in __iter__ methods. Now they are treated un-iterable instead.

Improved Documentation

#11091: Updated documentation to refer to hyphenated options: replaced --junitxml with --junit-xml and --collectonly with --collect-only.

`v7.4.3`

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

#10447: Markers are now considered in the reverse mro order to ensure base class markers are considered first -- this resolves a regression.
#11239: Fixed := in asserts impacting unrelated test cases.
#11439: Handled an edge case where :data:sys.stderr might already be closed when :ref:faulthandler is tearing down.

`v7.4.2`

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

#11237: Fix doctest collection of functools.cached_property objects.
#11306: Fixed bug using --importmode=importlib which would cause package __init__.py files to be imported more than once in some cases.
#11367: Fixed bug where user_properties where not being saved in the JUnit XML file if a fixture failed during teardown.
#11394: Fixed crash when parsing long command line arguments that might be interpreted as files.

Improved Documentation

#11391: Improved disclaimer on pytest plugin reference page to better indicate this is an automated, non-curated listing.

`v7.4.1`

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

#10337: Fixed bug where fake intermediate modules generated by --import-mode=importlib would not include the child modules as attributes of the parent modules.
#10702: Fixed error assertion handling in pytest.approx when None is an expected or received value when comparing dictionaries.
#10811: Fixed issue when using --import-mode=importlib together with --doctest-modules that caused modules to be imported more than once, causing problems with modules that have import side effects.
