Deprecations

• #12069: A deprecation warning is now raised when implementations of one of the following hooks request a deprecatedpy.path.local parameter instead of thepathlib.Path parameter which replaced it:

  • pytest_ignore_collect{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - thepath parameter - usecollection_path instead.
  • pytest_collect_file{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - thepath parameter - usefile_path instead.
  • pytest_pycollect_makemodule{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - thepath parameter - usemodule_path instead.
  • pytest_report_header{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - thestartdir parameter - usestart_path instead.
  • pytest_report_collectionfinish{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - thestartdir parameter - usestart_path instead.

  The replacement parameters are available since pytest 7.0.0.The old parameters will be removed in pytest 9.0.0.

  Seelegacy-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.

  SeeRead 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 raisedImportError{.interpreted-text role="class"} instead ofModuleNotFoundError{.interpreted-text role="class"}.

  The warning can be suppressed by passingexc_type=ImportError topytest.importorskip{.interpreted-text role="func"}.

  Seeimport-or-skip-import-error{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details.

• #11728: Forunittest-based tests, exceptions during class cleanup (as raised by functions registered withTestCase.addClassCleanup <unittest.TestCase.addClassCleanup>{.interpreted-text role="meth"}) are now reported instead of silently failing.

• #11777: Text is no longer truncated in theshort test summary info section when-vv is given.

• #12112: Improved namespace packages detection whenconsider_namespace_packages{.interpreted-text role="confval"} is enabled, covering more situations (like editable installs).

• #9502: AddedPYTEST_VERSION{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} environment variable which is defined at the start of the pytest session and undefined afterwards. It contains the value ofpytest.__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 containingsetup_method and tests using@staticmethod or@classmethod would crash withAttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setup_method'.

  Now therequest.instance <pytest.FixtureRequest.instance>{.interpreted-text role="attr"} attribute of tests using@staticmethod and@classmethod is no longerNone, but a fresh instance of the class, like in non-static methods.
