py.path.local arguments for hooks have been deprecated. See :ref:`the deprecation note <legacy-path-hooks-deprecated>` for full details.
py.path.local arguments to Node constructors have been deprecated. See :ref:`the deprecation note <node-ctor-fspath-deprecation>` for full details.
Note
The name of the :class:`~_pytest.nodes.Node` 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 :pypi:`py` dependency (see :issue:`9283` for a longer discussion).
