The following hooks now receive an additional pathlib.Path argument, equivalent to an existing py.path.local argument:

• :func:`pytest_ignore_collect <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_ignore_collect>` - The collection_path parameter (equivalent to existing path parameter).
• :func:`pytest_collect_file <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_collect_file>` - The file_path parameter (equivalent to existing path parameter).
• :func:`pytest_pycollect_makemodule <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_pycollect_makemodule>` - The module_path parameter (equivalent to existing path parameter).
• :func:`pytest_report_header <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_report_header>` - The start_path parameter (equivalent to existing startdir parameter).
• :func:`pytest_report_collectionfinish <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_report_collectionfinish>` - The start_path parameter (equivalent to existing startdir parameter).

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).
