pytest 4.6.11 (2020-06-04)

Bug Fixes

• #6334: Fix summary entries appearing twice when f/F and s/S report chars were used at the same time in the -r command-line option (for example -rFf).

  The upper case variants were never documented and the preferred form should be the lower case.

• #7310: Fix UnboundLocalError: local variable 'letter' referenced before assignment in _pytest.terminal.pytest_report_teststatus()
  when plugins return report objects in an unconventional state.

  This was making pytest_report_teststatus() skip
  entering if-block branches that declare the letter variable.

  The fix was to set the initial value of the letter before
  the if-block cascade so that it always has a value.

5.4.3

pytest 5.4.3 (2020-06-02)

Bug Fixes

• #6428: Paths appearing in error messages are now correct in case the current working directory has
  changed since the start of the session.
• #6755: Support deleting paths longer than 260 characters on windows created inside tmpdir.
• #6956: Prevent pytest from printing ConftestImportFailure traceback to stdout.
• #7150: Prevent hiding the underlying exception when ConfTestImportFailure is raised.
• #7215: Fix regression where running with --pdb would call the tearDown methods of unittest.TestCase
  subclasses for skipped tests.

5.4.2

pytest 5.4.2 (2020-05-08)

Bug Fixes

• #6871: Fix crash with captured output when using the capsysbinary fixture <capsysbinary>.
• #6924: Ensure a unittest.IsolatedAsyncioTestCase is actually awaited.
• #6925: Fix TerminalRepr instances to be hashable again.
• #6947: Fix regression where functions registered with TestCase.addCleanup were not being called on test failures.
• #6951: Allow users to still set the deprecated TerminalReporter.writer attribute.
• #6992: Revert "tmpdir: clean up indirection via config for factories" #6767 as it breaks pytest-xdist.
• #7110: Fixed regression: asyncbase.TestCase tests are executed correctly again.
• #7143: Fix File.from_constructor so it forwards extra keyword arguments to the constructor.
• #7145: Classes with broken __getattribute__ methods are displayed correctly during failures.
• #7180: Fix _is_setup_py for files encoded differently than locale.

pytest 4.6.10 (2020-05-08)

• #6870: New Config.invocation_args attribute containing the unchanged arguments passed to pytest.main().

  Remark: while this is technically a new feature and according to our policy it should not have been backported, we have opened an exception in this particular case because it fixes a serious interaction with pytest-xdist, so it can also be considered a bugfix.

5.4.1

pytest 5.4.1 (2020-03-13)

Bug Fixes

• #6909: Revert the change introduced by #6330, which required all arguments to @pytest.mark.parametrize to be explicitly defined in the function signature.

  The intention of the original change was to remove what was expected to be an unintended/surprising behavior, but it turns out many people relied on it, so the restriction has been reverted.

• #6910: Fix crash when plugins return an unknown stats while using the --reportlog option.

pytest 5.4.0 (2020-03-12)

Breaking Changes

• #6316: Matching of -k EXPRESSION to test names is now case-insensitive.

• #6443: Plugins specified with -p are now loaded after internal plugins, which results in their hooks being called before the internal ones.

  This makes the -p behavior consistent with PYTEST_PLUGINS.

• #6637: Removed the long-deprecated pytest_itemstart hook.

  This hook has been marked as deprecated and not been even called by pytest for over 10 years now.

• #6673: Reversed / fix meaning of "+/-" in error diffs. "-" means that sth. expected is missing in the result and "+" means that there are unexpected extras in the result.

• #6737: The cached_result attribute of FixtureDef is now set to None when
  the result is unavailable, instead of being deleted.

  If your plugin performs checks like hasattr(fixturedef, 'cached_result'),
  for example in a pytest_fixture_post_finalizer hook implementation, replace
  it with fixturedef.cached_result is not None. If you del the attribute,
  set it to None instead.

Deprecations

• #3238: Option --no-print-logs is deprecated and meant to be removed in a future release. If you use --no-print-logs, please try out --show-capture and
  provide feedback.

  --show-capture command-line option was added in pytest 3.5.0 and allows to specify how to
  display captured output when tests fail: no, stdout, stderr, log or all (the default).

• #571: Deprecate the unused/broken [pytest_collect_directory]{.title-ref} hook.
  It was misaligned since the removal of the Directory collector in 2010
  and incorrect/unusable as soon as collection was split from test execution.

• #5975: Deprecate using direct constructors for Nodes.

  Instead they are new constructed via Node.from_parent.

  This transitional mechanism enables us to detangle the very intensely
  entangled Node relationships by enforcing more controlled creation/configruation patterns.

  As part of that session/config are already disallowed parameters and as we work on the details we might need disallow a few more as well.

  Subclasses are expected to use [super().from_parent]{.title-ref} if they intend to expand the creation of [Nodes]{.title-ref}.

• #6779: The TerminalReporter.writer attribute has been deprecated and should no longer be used. This
  was inadvertently exposed as part of the public API of that plugin and ties it too much
  with py.io.TerminalWriter.

Features

• #4597: New --capture=tee-sys <capture-method>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} option to allow both live printing and capturing of test output.
• #5712: Now all arguments to @pytest.mark.parametrize need to be explicitly declared in the function signature or via indirect.
  Previously it was possible to omit an argument if a fixture with the same name existed, which was just an accident of implementation and was not meant to be a part of the API.
• #6454: Changed default for [-r]{.title-ref} to [fE]{.title-ref}, which displays failures and errors in the short test summary <pytest.detailed_failed_tests_usage>{.interpreted-text role="ref"}. [-rN]{.title-ref} can be used to disable it (the old behavior).
• #6469: New options have been added to the junit_logging{.interpreted-text role="confval"} option: log, out-err, and all.
• #6834: Excess warning summaries are now collapsed per file to ensure readable display of warning summaries.

Improvements

• #1857: pytest.mark.parametrize accepts integers for ids again, converting it to strings.

• #449: Use "yellow" main color with any XPASSED tests.

• #4639: Revert "A warning is now issued when assertions are made for None".

  The warning proved to be less useful than initially expected and had quite a
  few false positive cases.

• #5686: tmpdir_factory.mktemp now fails when given absolute and non-normalized paths.

• #5984: The pytest_warning_captured hook now receives a location parameter with the code location that generated the warning.

• #6213: pytester: the testdir fixture respects environment settings from the monkeypatch fixture for inner runs.

• #6247: --fulltrace is honored with collection errors.

• #6384: Make [--showlocals]{.title-ref} work also with [--tb=short]{.title-ref}.

• #6653: Add support for matching lines consecutively with LineMatcher <_pytest.pytester.LineMatcher>{.interpreted-text role="attr"}'s ~_pytest.pytester.LineMatcher.fnmatch_lines{.interpreted-text role="func"} and ~_pytest.pytester.LineMatcher.re_match_lines{.interpreted-text role="func"}.

• #6658: Code is now highlighted in tracebacks when pygments is installed.

  Users are encouraged to install pygments into their environment and provide feedback, because
  the plan is to make pygments a regular dependency in the future.

• #6795: Import usage error message with invalid [-o]{.title-ref} option.

• #759: pytest.mark.parametrize supports iterators and generators for ids.

Bug Fixes

• #310: Add support for calling [pytest.xfail()]{.title-ref} and [pytest.importorskip()]{.title-ref} with doctests.

• #3823: --trace now works with unittests.

• #4445: Fixed some warning reports produced by pytest to point to the correct location of the warning in the user's code.

• #5301: Fix --last-failed to collect new tests from files with known failures.

• #5928: Report PytestUnknownMarkWarning at the level of the user's code, not pytest's.

• #5991: Fix interaction with --pdb and unittests: do not use unittest's TestCase.debug().

• #6334: Fix summary entries appearing twice when f/F and s/S report chars were used at the same time in the -r command-line option (for example -rFf).

  The upper case variants were never documented and the preferred form should be the lower case.

• #6409: Fallback to green (instead of yellow) for non-last items without previous passes with colored terminal progress indicator.

• #6454: [--disable-warnings]{.title-ref} is honored with [-ra]{.title-ref} and [-rA]{.title-ref}.

• #6497: Fix bug in the comparison of request key with cached key in fixture.

  A construct if key == cached_key: can fail either because == is explicitly disallowed, or for, e.g., NumPy arrays, where the result of a == b cannot generally be converted to [bool]{.title-ref}.
  The implemented fix replaces [==]{.title-ref} with is.

• #6557: Make capture output streams .write() method return the same return value from original streams.

• #6566: Fix EncodedFile.writelines to call the underlying buffer's writelines method.

• #6575: Fix internal crash when faulthandler starts initialized
  (for example with PYTHONFAULTHANDLER=1 environment variable set) and faulthandler_timeout defined
  in the configuration file.

• #6597: Fix node ids which contain a parametrized empty-string variable.

• #6646: Assertion rewriting hooks are (re)stored for the current item, which fixes them being still used after e.g. pytester's testdir.runpytest <_pytest.pytester.Testdir.runpytest>{.interpreted-text role="func"} etc.

• #6660: pytest.exit() <_pytest.outcomes.exit>{.interpreted-text role="func"} is handled when emitted from the pytest_sessionfinish <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_sessionfinish>{.interpreted-text role="func"} hook. This includes quitting from a debugger.

• #6752: When :pypytest.raises{.int...
