#10218: @pytest.mark.parametrize()
(and similar functions) now accepts any Sequence[str]
for the argument names,
instead of just list[str]
and tuple[str, ...]
.
(Note that str
, which is itself a Sequence[str]
, is still treated as a
comma-delimited name list, as before).
-
#10381: The --no-showlocals
flag has been added. This can be passed directly to tests to override --showlocals
declared through addopts
.
-
#3426: Assertion failures with strings in NFC and NFD forms that normalize to the same string now have a dedicated error message detailing the issue, and their utf-8 representation is expresed instead.
-
#7337: A warning is now emitted if a test function returns something other than [None]{.title-ref}. This prevents a common mistake among beginners that expect that returning a [bool]{.title-ref} (for example [return foo(a, b) == result]{.title-ref}) would cause a test to pass or fail, instead of using [assert]{.title-ref}.
-
#8508: Introduce multiline display for warning matching via :pypytest.warns
{.interpreted-text role="func"} and
enhance match comparison for :py_pytest._code.ExceptionInfo.match
{.interpreted-text role="func"} as returned by :pypytest.raises
{.interpreted-text role="func"}.
-
#8646: Improve :pypytest.raises
{.interpreted-text role="func"}. Previously passing an empty tuple would give a confusing
error. We now raise immediately with a more helpful message.
-
#9741: On Python 3.11, use the standard library's tomllib
{.interpreted-text role="mod"} to parse TOML.
tomli
{.interpreted-text role="mod"}` is no longer a dependency on Python 3.11.
-
#9742: Display assertion message without escaped newline characters with -vv
.
-
#9823: Improved error message that is shown when no collector is found for a given file.
-
#9873: Some coloring has been added to the short test summary.
-
#9883: Normalize the help description of all command-line options.
-
#9920: Display full crash messages in short test summary info
, when runng in a CI environment.
-
#9987: Added support for hidden configuration file by allowing .pytest.ini
as an alternative to pytest.ini
.
-
#10150: sys.stdin
{.interpreted-text role="data"} now contains all expected methods of a file-like object when capture is enabled.
-
#10382: Do not break into pdb when raise unittest.SkipTest()
appears top-level in a file.
-
#7792: Marks are now inherited according to the full MRO in test classes. Previously, if a test class inherited from two or more classes, only marks from the first super-class would apply.
When inheriting marks from super-classes, marks from the sub-classes are now ordered before marks from the super-classes, in MRO order. Previously it was the reverse.
When inheriting marks from super-classes, the [pytestmark]{.title-ref} attribute of the sub-class now only contains the marks directly applied to it. Previously, it also contained marks from its super-classes. Please note that this attribute should not normally be accessed directly; use pytest.Node.iter_markers
{.interpreted-text role="func"} instead.
-
#9159: Showing inner exceptions by forcing native display in ExceptionGroups
even when using display options other than --tb=native
. A temporary step before full implementation of pytest-native display for inner exceptions in ExceptionGroups
.
-
#9877: Ensure caplog.get_records(when)
returns current/correct data after invoking caplog.clear()
.
-
#5192: Fixed test output for some data types where -v
would show less information.
Also, when showing diffs for sequences, -q
would produce full diffs instead of the expected diff.
-
#9362: pytest now avoids specialized assert formatting when it is detected that the default __eq__
is overridden in attrs
or dataclasses
.
-
#9536: When -vv
is given on command line, show skipping and xfail reasons in full instead of truncating them to fit the terminal width.
-
#9644: More information about the location of resources that led Python to raise ResourceWarning
{.interpreted-text role="class"} can now
be obtained by enabling tracemalloc
{.interpreted-text role="mod"}.
See resource-warnings
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more information.
-
#9678: More types are now accepted in the ids
argument to @pytest.mark.parametrize
.
Previously only [str]{.title-ref}, [float]{.title-ref}, [int]{.title-ref} and [bool]{.title-ref} were accepted;
now [bytes]{.title-ref}, [complex]{.title-ref}, [re.Pattern]{.title-ref}, [Enum]{.title-ref} and anything with a [__name__]{.title-ref} are also accepted.
-
#9692: pytest.approx
{.interpreted-text role="func"} now raises a TypeError
{.interpreted-text role="class"} when given an unordered sequence (such as set
{.interpreted-text role="class"}).
Note that this implies that custom classes which only implement __iter__
and __len__
are no longer supported as they don't guarantee order.
-
#8242: The deprecation of raising unittest.SkipTest
{.interpreted-text role="class"} to skip collection of
tests during the pytest collection phase is reverted - this is now a supported
feature again.
-
#9493: Symbolic link components are no longer resolved in conftest paths.
This means that if a conftest appears twice in collection tree, using symlinks, it will be executed twice.
For example, given
tests/real/conftest.py
tests/real/test_it.py
tests/link -> tests/real
running pytest tests
now imports the conftest twice, once as tests/real/conftest.py
and once as tests/link/conftest.py
.
This is a fix to match a similar change made to test collection itself in pytest 6.0 (see 6523
{.interpreted-text role="pull"} for details).
-
#9626: Fixed count of selected tests on terminal collection summary when there were errors or skipped modules.
If there were errors or skipped modules on collection, pytest would mistakenly subtract those from the selected count.
-
#9645: Fixed regression where --import-mode=importlib
used together with PYTHONPATH
{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} or pythonpath
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} would cause import errors in test suites.
-
#9708: pytester
{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} now requests a monkeypatch
{.interpreted-text role="fixture"} fixture instead of creating one internally. This solves some issues with tests that involve pytest environment variables.
-
#9730: Malformed pyproject.toml
files now produce a clearer error message.
-
#7259: The Node.reportinfo() <non-python tests>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} function first return value type has been expanded from [py.path.local | str]{.title-ref} to [os.PathLike[str] | str]{.title-ref}.
Most plugins which refer to [reportinfo()]{.title-ref} only define it as part of a custom pytest.Item
{.interpreted-text role="class"} implementation.
Since [py.path.local]{.title-ref} is a [os.PathLike[str]]{.title-ref}, these plugins are unaffacted.
Plugins and users which call [reportinfo()]{.title-ref}, use the first return value and interact with it as a [py.path.local]{.title-ref}, would need to adjust by calling [py.path.local(fspath)]{.title-ref}.
Although preferably, avoid the legacy [py.path.local]{.title-ref} and use [pathlib.Path]{.title-ref}, or use [item.location]{.title-ref} or [item.path]{.title-ref}, instead.
Note: pytest was not able to provide a deprecation period for this change.
-
#8246: --version
now writes version information to stdout
rather than stderr
.
-
#8733: Drop a workaround for pyreadline that made it work with --pdb
.
The workaround was introduced in #1281 in 2015, however since then
pyreadline seems to have gone unmaintained, is generating
warnings, and will stop working on Python 3.10.
-
#9061: Using pytest.approx
{.interpreted-text role="func"} in a boolean context now raises an error hinting at the proper usage.
It is apparently common for users to mistakenly use pytest.approx
like this:
assert pytest.approx(actual, expected)
While the correct usage is:
assert actual == pytest.approx(expected)
The new error message helps catch those mistakes.
-
#9277: The pytest.Instance
collector type has been removed.
Importing pytest.Instance
or _pytest.python.Instance
returns a dummy type and emits a deprecation warning.
See instance-collector-deprecation
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details.
-
#9308: PytestRemovedIn7Warning deprecation warnings are now errors by default.
Following our plan to remove deprecated features with as little disruption as
possible, all warnings of type PytestRemovedIn7Warning
now generate errors
instead of warning messages by default.
The affected features will be effectively removed in pytest 7.1, so please consult the
deprecations
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} section in the docs for directions on how to update existing code.
In the pytest 7.0.X
series, it is possible to change the errors back into warnings as a
stopgap measure by adding this to your pytest.ini
file:
[pytest]
filterwarnings =
ignore::pytest.PytestRemovedIn7Warning
But this will stop working when pytest 7.1
is released.
If you have concerns about the removal of a specific feature, please add a
comment to 9308
{.interpreted-text role="issue"}.

#7469: Directly constructing the following classes is now deprecated:
_pytest.mark.structures.Mark
_pytest.mark.structures.MarkDecorator
_pytest.mark.structures.MarkGenerator
_pytest.python.Metafunc
_pytest.runner.CallInfo
_pytest._code.ExceptionInfo
_pytest.config.argparsing.Parser
_pytest.config.argparsing.OptionGroup
_pytest.pytester.HookRecorder
These constructors have always been considered private, but now issue a deprecation warning, which may become a hard error in pytest 8.
-
#8242: Raising unittest.SkipTest
{.interpreted-text role="class"} to skip collection of tests during the
pytest collection phase is deprecated. Use pytest.skip
{.interpreted-text role="func"} instead.
Note: This deprecation only relates to using unittest.SkipTest
{.interpreted-text role="class"} during test
collection. You are probably not doing that. Ordinary usage of
unittest.SkipTest
{.interpreted-text role="class"} / unittest.TestCase.skipTest
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} /
unittest.skip
{.interpreted-text role="func"} in unittest test cases is fully supported.
-
#8315: Several behaviors of Parser.addoption <pytest.Parser.addoption>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} are now
scheduled for removal in pytest 8 (deprecated since pytest 2.4.0):
parser.addoption(..., help=".. %default ..")
- use %(default)s
instead.
parser.addoption(..., type="int/string/float/complex")
- use type=int
etc. instead.
-
#8447: Defining a custom pytest node type which is both an pytest.Item <Item>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} and a pytest.Collector <Collector>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} (e.g. pytest.File <File>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}) now issues a warning.
It was never sanely supported and triggers hard to debug errors.
See the deprecation note <diamond-inheritance-deprecated>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details.
-
#8592: pytest_cmdline_preparse
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} has been officially deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. Use pytest_load_initial_conftests
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} instead.
See the deprecation note <cmdline-preparse-deprecated>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for full details.
-
#8645: pytest.warns(None) <pytest.warns>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} is now deprecated because many people used
it to mean "this code does not emit warnings", but it actually had the effect of
checking that the code emits at least one warning of any type - like pytest.warns()
or pytest.warns(Warning)
.
-
#8948: pytest.skip(msg=...) <pytest.skip>
{.interpreted-text role="func"}, pytest.fail(msg=...) <pytest.fail>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} and pytest.exit(msg=...) <pytest.exit>
{.interpreted-text role="func"}
signatures now accept a reason
argument instead of msg
. Using msg
still works, but is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
This was changed for consistency with pytest.mark.skip <pytest.mark.skip>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} and pytest.mark.xfail <pytest.mark.xfail>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} which both accept
reason
as an argument.
-
#8174: The following changes have been made to types reachable through pytest.ExceptionInfo.traceback
{.interpreted-text role="attr"}:
- The
path
property of _pytest.code.Code
returns Path
instead of py.path.local
.
- The
path
property of _pytest.code.TracebackEntry
returns Path
instead of py.path.local
.
There was no deprecation period for this change (sorry!).
-
#5196: Tests are now ordered by definition order in more cases.
In a class hierarchy, tests from base classes are now consistently ordered before tests defined on their subclasses (reverse MRO order).
-
#7132: Added two environment variables PYTEST_THEME
{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} and PYTEST_THEME_MODE
{.interpreted-text role="envvar"} to let the users customize the pygments theme used.
-
#7259: Added cache.mkdir() <pytest.Cache.mkdir>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"}, which is similar to the existing cache.makedir() <pytest.Cache.makedir>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"},
but returns a pathlib.Path
{.interpreted-text role="class"} instead of a legacy py.path.local
.
Added a paths
type to parser.addini() <pytest.Parser.addini>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"},
as in parser.addini("mypaths", "my paths", type="paths")
,
which is similar to the existing pathlist
,
but returns a list of pathlib.Path
{.interpreted-text role="class"} instead of legacy py.path.local
.
-
#7469: The types of objects used in pytest's API are now exported so they may be used in type annotations.
The newly-exported types are:
pytest.Config
for Config <pytest.Config>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
pytest.Mark
for marks <pytest.Mark>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
pytest.MarkDecorator
for mark decorators <pytest.MarkDecorator>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
pytest.MarkGenerator
for the pytest.mark <pytest.MarkGenerator>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} singleton.
pytest.Metafunc
for the metafunc <pytest.MarkGenerator>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} argument to the pytest_generate_tests
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} hook.
pytest.CallInfo
for the CallInfo <pytest.CallInfo>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type passed to various hooks.
pytest.PytestPluginManager
for PytestPluginManager <pytest.PytestPluginManager>
{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
pytest.ExceptionInfo
for the ExceptionInfo <pytest.ExceptionInfo>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from pytest.raises
{.interpreted-text role="func"} and passed to various hooks.
pytest.Parser
for the Parser <pytest.Parser>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type passed to the pytest_addoption
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} hook.
pytest.OptionGroup
for the OptionGroup <pytest.OptionGroup>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from the parser.addgroup <pytest.Parser.getgroup>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} method.
pytest.HookRecorder
for the HookRecorder <pytest.HookRecorder>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from ~pytest.Pytester
{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
pytest.RecordedHookCall
for the RecordedHookCall <pytest.HookRecorder>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from ~pytest.HookRecorder
{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
pytest.RunResult
for the RunResult <pytest.RunResult>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type returned from ~pytest.Pytester
{.interpreted-text role="class"}.
pytest.LineMatcher
for the LineMatcher <pytest.RunResult>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type used in ~pytest.RunResult
{.interpreted-text role="class"} and others.
pytest.TestReport
for the TestReport <pytest.TestReport>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type used in various hooks.
pytest.CollectReport
for the CollectReport <pytest.CollectReport>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} type used in various hooks.
Constructing most of them directly is not supported; they are only meant for use in type annotations.
Doing so will emit a deprecation warning, and may become a hard-error in pytest 8.0.
Subclassing them is also not supported. This is not currently enforced at runtime, but is detected by type-checkers such as mypy.

#7856: --import-mode=importlib <import-modes>
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} now works with features that
depend on modules being on :pysys.modules
{.interpreted-text role="data"}, such as pickle
{.interpreted-text role="mod"} and dataclasses
{.interpreted-text role="mod"}.
-
#8144: The following hooks now receive an additional pathlib.Path
argument, equivalent to an existing py.path.local
argument:
pytest_ignore_collect
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - The collection_path

parameter).
pytest_collect_file
{.interpreted-text role="hook"} - The file_path
parameter (equivalent to existing path

have been enriched with:
- Fixture location path printed with the fixture name.
- First section of the fixture's docstring printed under the fixture name.
- Whole of fixture's docstring printed under the fixture name using
--verbose

#8789: Switch TOML parser from toml
to tomli

{.interpreted-text role="class"} and ~_pytest.nodes.Node
{.interpreted-text role="class"}s in a type-safe and conflict-free manner.
See plugin-stash
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for details.
-
#8953: RunResult <_pytest.pytester.RunResult>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} method assert_outcomes <_pytest.pytester.RunResult.assert_outcomes>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} now accepts a
warnings
argument to assert the total number of warnings captured.
-
#8954: --debug
flag now accepts a str
{.interpreted-text role="class"} file to route debug logs into, remains defaulted to [pytestdebug.log]{.title-ref}.
-
#9023: Full diffs are now always shown for equality assertions of iterables when
[CI]{.title-ref} or BUILD_NUMBER
is found in the environment, even when -v
isn't
used.
-
#9113: RunResult <_pytest.pytester.RunResult>
{.interpreted-text role="class"} method assert_outcomes <_pytest.pytester.RunResult.assert_outcomes>
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} now accepts a
deselected
argument to assert the total number of deselected tests.
-
#9114: Added pythonpath
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} setting that adds listed paths to sys.path
{.interpreted-text role="data"} for the duration of the test session. If you currently use the pytest-pythonpath or pytest-srcpaths plugins, you should be able to replace them with built-in [pythonpath]{.title-ref} setting.
-
#7480: A deprecation scheduled to be removed in a major version X (e.g. pytest 7, 8, 9, ...) now uses warning category [PytestRemovedInXWarning]{.title-ref},
a subclass of ~pytest.PytestDeprecationWarning
{.interpreted-text role="class"},
instead of PytestDeprecationWarning
{.interpreted-text role="class"} directly.
See backwards-compatibility
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more details.
-
#7864: Improved error messages when parsing warning filters.
Previously pytest would show an internal traceback, which besides being ugly sometimes would hide the cause
of the problem (for example an ImportError
while importing a specific warning type).
-
#8335: Improved pytest.approx
{.interpreted-text role="func"} assertion messages for sequences of numbers.
The assertion messages now dumps a table with the index and the error of each diff.
Example:
> assert [1, 2, 3, 4] == pytest.approx([1, 3, 3, 5])
E assert comparison failed for 2 values:
E Index | Obtained | Expected
E 1 | 2 | 3 +- 3.0e-06
E 3 | 4 | 5 +- 5.0e-06
-
#8403: By default, pytest will truncate long strings in assert errors so they don't clutter the output too much,
currently at 240
characters by default.
However, in some cases the longer output helps, or is even crucial, to diagnose a failure. Using -v
will
now increase the truncation threshold to 2400
characters, and -vv
or higher will disable truncation entirely.
-
#8509: Fixed issue where unittest.TestCase.setUpClass
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} is not called when a test has [/]{.title-ref} in its name since pytest 6.2.0.
This refers to the path part in pytest node IDs, e.g. TestClass::test_it
in the node ID tests/test_file.py::TestClass::test_it
.
Now, instead of assuming that the test name does not contain /
, it is assumed that test path does not contain ::
. We plan to hopefully make both of these work in the future.
-
#8803: It is now possible to add colors to custom log levels on cli log.
By using add_color_level <_pytest.logging.add_color_level>
{.interpreted-text role="func"} from a pytest_configure
hook, colors can be added:
logging_plugin = config.pluginmanager.get_plugin('logging-plugin')
logging_plugin.log_cli_handler.formatter.add_color_level(logging.INFO, 'cyan')
logging_plugin.log_cli_handler.formatter.add_color_level(logging.SPAM, 'blue')
See log_colors
{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more information.
-
#8822: When showing fixture paths in [--fixtures]{.title-ref} or [--fixtures-by-test]{.title-ref}, fixtures coming from pytest itself now display an elided path, rather than the full path to the file in the [site-packages]{.title-ref} directory.
-
#8898: Complex numbers are now treated like floats and integers when generating parameterization IDs.
-
#9062: --stepwise-skip
now implicitly enables --stepwise
and can be used on its own.
-
#9205: pytest.Cache.set
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} now preserves key order when saving dicts.
-
#7124: Fixed an issue where __main__.py
would raise an ImportError
when --doctest-modules
was provided.

test cases if they are inherited from a parent test class.
-
#8192: testdir.makefile
now silently accepts values which don't start with .
to maintain backward compatibility with older pytest versions.
pytester.makefile
now issues a clearer error if the .
is missing in the ext
argument.
-
#8258: Fixed issue where pytest's faulthandler
support would not dump traceback on crashes
if the faulthandler
{.interpreted-text role="mod"} module was already enabled during pytest startup (using
python -X dev -m pytest
for example).
-
#8317: Fixed an issue where illegal directory characters derived from getpass.getuser()
raised an OSError
.
-
#8367: Fix Class.from_parent
so it forwards extra keyword arguments to the constructor.
-
#8377: The test selection options pytest -k
and pytest -m
now support matching
names containing forward slash (/
) characters.
-
#8384: The @pytest.mark.skip
decorator now correctly handles its arguments. When the reason
argument is accidentally given both positional and as a keyword (e.g. because it was confused with skipif
), a TypeError
now occurs. Before, such tests were silently skipped, and the positional argument ignored. Additionally, reason
is now documented correctly as positional or keyword (rather than keyword-only).
-
#8394: Use private names for internal fixtures that handle classic setup/teardown so that they don't show up with the default --fixtures
invocation (but they still show up with --fixtures -v
).
-
#8456: The required_plugins
{.interpreted-text role="confval"} config option now works correctly when pre-releases of plugins are installed, rather than falsely claiming that those plugins aren't installed at all.
-
#8464: -c <config file>
now also properly defines rootdir
as the directory that contains <config file>
.
-
#8503: pytest.MonkeyPatch.syspath_prepend
{.interpreted-text role="meth"} no longer fails when
setuptools
is not installed.
It now only calls pkg_resources.fixup_namespace_packages
{.interpreted-text role="func"} if
pkg_resources
was previously imported, because it is not needed otherwise.
-
#8548: Introduce fix to handle precision width in log-cli-format
in turn to fix output coloring for certain formats.
-
#8796: Fixed internal error when skipping doctests.
-
#8983: The test selection options pytest -k
and pytest -m
now support matching names containing backslash ([\]{.title-ref}) characters.
Backslashes are treated literally, not as escape characters (the values being matched against are already escaped).
-
#8990: Fix [pytest -vv]{.title-ref} crashing with an internal exception [AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'relative_to']{.title-ref} in some cases.
-
#9077: Fixed confusing error message when request.fspath
