8.2.0

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 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.
