8144.feature.rst

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 fspath parameter (equivalent to existing path parameter).
• :func:`pytest_collect_file <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_collect_file>` - The fspath parameter (equivalent to existing path parameter).
• :func:`pytest_pycollect_makemodule <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_pycollect_makemodule>` - The fspath parameter (equivalent to existing path parameter).
• :func:`pytest_report_header <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_report_header>` - The startpath parameter (equivalent to existing startdir parameter).
• :func:`pytest_report_collectionfinish <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_report_collectionfinish>` - The startpath parameter (equivalent to existing startdir parameter).

Note

The name of the Node arguments and attributes (old fspath, new path) is the opposite of the situation for hooks (old path, new fspath). 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).
