This PR updates pytest from 9.0.3 to 9.1.1.

Changelog

9.1.1

=========================

Bug fixes
---------

- `14220 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14220>`_: Fixed a logic bug in :class:`pytest.RaisesGroup` which would might cause it to display incorrect "It matches `FooError()` which was paired with `BarError`" messages.


- `14591 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14591>`_: Fixed a regression in pytest 9.1.0 which caused overriding a parametrized fixture with an indirect `pytest.mark.parametrize` to fail with "duplicate parametrization of '<fixture name>'".


- `14606 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14606>`_: Fixed ``list-item`` typing errors from mypy in :ref:`pytest.mark.parametrize <pytest.mark.parametrize ref>` ``argvalues`` parameter.


- `14608 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14608>`_: Fixed a regression in pytest 9.1.0 where ``conftest.py`` files located in ``<invocation dir>/test*`` were no longer loaded as initial conftests when invoked without arguments.
This could cause certain hooks (like :hook:`pytest_addoption`) in these files to not fire.

9.1.0

=========================

Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes
---------------------------------------------------

- `14533 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14533>`_: When using :option:`--doctest-modules`, autouse fixtures with ``module``, ``package`` or ``session`` scope that are defined inline in Python test modules (not plugins or conftests) will now possibly execute twice.

If this is undesirable, move the fixture definition to a ``conftest.py`` file if possible.

Technical explanation for those interested:
When using `--doctest-modules`, pytest possibly collects Python modules twice, once as :class:`pytest.Module` and once as a ``DoctestModule`` (depending on the configuration).
Due to improvements in pytest's fixture implementation, if e.g. the ``DoctestModule`` collects a fixture, it is now visible to it only, and not to the ``Module``.
This means that both need to register the fixtures independently.



Deprecations (removal in next major release)
--------------------------------------------

- `10819 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10819>`_: Added a deprecation warning for class-scoped fixtures defined as instance methods (without ``classmethod``). Such fixtures set attributes on a different instance than the test methods use, leading to unexpected behavior. Use ``classmethod`` decorator instead -- by :user:`yastcher`.

See :issue:`10819` and :issue:`14011`.


- `12882 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12882>`_: Calling :meth:`request.getfixturevalue() <pytest.FixtureRequest.getfixturevalue>` during teardown to request a fixture that was not already requested is now deprecated and will become an error in pytest 10.

See :ref:`dynamic-fixture-request-during-teardown` for details.


- `13409 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13409>`_: Using non-:class:`~collections.abc.Collection` iterables (such as generators, iterators, or custom iterable objects) for the ``argvalues`` parameter in :ref:`pytest.mark.parametrize <pytest.mark.parametrize ref>` and :meth:`metafunc.parametrize <pytest.Metafunc.parametrize>` is now deprecated.

These iterables get exhausted after the first iteration,
leading to tests getting unexpectedly skipped in cases such as running :func:`pytest.main()` multiple times,
using class-level parametrize decorators,
or collecting tests multiple times.

See :ref:`parametrize-iterators` for details and suggestions.


- `13946 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13946>`_: The private ``config.inicfg`` attribute is now deprecated.
Use :meth:`config.getini() <pytest.Config.getini>` to access configuration values instead.

See :ref:`config-inicfg` for more details.


- `14004 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14004>`_: Passing ``baseid`` to :class:`~pytest.FixtureDef` or ``nodeid`` strings to fixture registration APIs is now deprecated. These are internal pytest APIs that are used by some plugins.

Use the ``node`` parameter instead for fixture scoping. This enables more robust node-based
matching instead of string prefix matching.
If you've used ``nodeid=None``, pass ``node=session`` instead.

This will be removed in pytest 10.


- `14335 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14335>`_: The method of configuring hooks using markers, deprecated since pytest 7.2, is now scheduled to be removed in pytest 10.
See :ref:`hook-markers` for more details.


- `14434 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14434>`_: The :option:`--pastebin` option is now deprecated.
The same functionality is now available in an external plugin, :pypi:`pytest-pastebin`.
See :ref:`pastebin-deprecated` for more details.


- `14513 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14513>`_: The private ``FixtureDef.has_location`` attribute is now deprecated and will be removed in pytest 10.
See :ref:`fixturedef-has-location-deprecated` for details.


- `1764 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1764>`_: :func:`pytest.console_main` is now deprecated and will be removed in pytest 10.
It was never intended for programmatic use; use :func:`pytest.main` instead.



New features
------------

- `12376 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12376>`_: Added :func:`pytest.register_fixture()` to register fixtures using an imperative interface.

This is an advanced function intended for use by plugins.

Normally, fixtures should be registered declaratively using the :func:`pytest.fixture <pytest.fixture>` decorator.
Pytest looks for these fixture definitions during the collection phase and registers them automatically.
For some plugin usecases the declarative interface can be cumbersome or unviable, in which case this imperative interface can be used.


- `14023 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14023>`_: Added `--report-chars` long CLI option.


- `14371 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14371>`_: Added :option:`--max-warnings` command-line option and :confval:`max_warnings` configuration option to fail the test run when the number of warnings exceeds a given threshold -- by :user:`miketheman`.


- `6757 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/6757>`_: Added the :confval:`assertion_text_diff_style` configuration option, allowing
string equality failures to be rendered as separate ``Left:`` and ``Right:``
blocks instead of ``ndiff`` output.


- `8395 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8395>`_: Added support for :class:`~datetime.datetime` and :class:`~datetime.timedelta` comparisons with :func:`pytest.approx`. An explicit ``abs`` or ``rel`` tolerance as a :class:`~datetime.timedelta` is required and relative tolerance is not supported for datetime comparisons -- by :user:`hamza-mobeen`.



Improvements in existing functionality
--------------------------------------

- `11225 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11225>`_: :func:`pytest.warns` now shows "Regex pattern did not match" instead of "DID NOT WARN" when warnings were emitted but the ``match`` pattern did not match.


- `11295 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11295>`_: Improved output of ``--fixtures-per-test`` by excluding internal-implementation fixtures generated by ``pytest.mark.parametrize`` and similar.


- `13241 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13241>`_: :func:`pytest.raises`, :func:`pytest.warns` and :func:`pytest.deprecated_call` now uses :class:`ParamSpec` for the type hint to the (old and not recommended) callable overload, instead of :class:`Any`. This allows type checkers to raise errors when passing incorrect function parameters.
``func`` can now also be passed as a kwarg, which the type hint previously showed as possible but didn't accept.


- `13862 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13862>`_: Improved the readability of "DID NOT RAISE" error messages by using the exception type's name instead of its `repr`.


- `14026 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14026>`_: Added test coverage for compiled regex patterns in :func:`pytest.raises` match parameter.


- `14137 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14137>`_: `pytest.ScopeName` is now public to allow using it in function signatures.


- `14342 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14342>`_: Marked ``yield_fixture`` as deprecated to type checkers using the ``deprecated`` decorator. Note it
:ref:`has originally been deprecated <yield-fixture-deprecated>` in pytest 6.2 already.


- `14373 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14373>`_: Added type annotations for :func:`pytest.approx`.


- `14430 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14430>`_: When using ``--setup-show``, a space is now printed after the test name (and possibly used fixtures), to separate it from the test result.


- `14441 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14441>`_: Reduced the default number of ``gc.collect()`` passes in the ``unraisableexception`` plugin from 5 to 1 on CPython, where reference counting makes a single pass sufficient. PyPy retains 5 passes due to object resurrection via ``__del__``. This can noticeably speed up test suites that trigger many pytester runs.


- `14461 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14461>`_: Improved assertion failure explanations for equality comparisons between mapping objects that are not ``dict`` instances.


- `14513 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14513>`_: The order in which fixture definitions overriding each other are resolved is now determined first by their *visibility* in the collection tree rather than by the order in which they are registered.

A fixture defined for a more specific node (e.g. a module or an item) now always takes precedence over one with the same name defined for a more general node (e.g. the session), even when the more general one was registered later.
Fixtures with non-comparable visibility or the same visibility keep the existing behavior of "last registered wins".
This change is supposed to only affect plugins which register multiple fixtures programmatically with the same name.


- `14524 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14524>`_: Add official Python 3.15 support.


- `1764 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1764>`_: Improved argparse program name to show ``pytest``, ``python -m pytest``, or ``pytest.main()`` based on how pytest was invoked, making help and error messages clearer.


- `8265 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8265>`_: Emit a ``PytestCollectionWarning`` when a module-level ``__getattr__`` returns ``None`` for ``pytestmark`` instead of raising ``AttributeError``.

Previously this caused a cryptic ``TypeError: got None instead of Mark`` error.
Now pytest issues a helpful warning and continues collecting the module normally.



Bug fixes
---------

- `13192 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13192>`_: Fixed `|` (pipe) not being treated as a regex meta-character that needs escaping in :func:`pytest.raises(match=...) <pytest.raises>`.


- `13484 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13484>`_: Fixed ``-W`` option values being duplicated in ``Config.known_args_namespace``.


- `13626 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13626>`_: Fixed function-scoped fixture values being kept alive after a test was interrupted by ``KeyboardInterrupt`` or early exit,
allowing them to potentially be released more promptly.


- `13784 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13784>`_: Fixed ``capteesys`` producing doubled output when used with ``--capture=no`` (``-s``).


- `13817 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13817>`_: Fixed a secondary `AttributeError` masking the original error when an option argument fails to initialize.


- `13884 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13884>`_: Fixed rare internal IndexError caused by `builtins.compile` being overridden in client code.


- `13885 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13885>`_: Fixed autouse fixtures defined inside a :class:`unittest.TestCase` class running even when the class is decorated with :func:`unittest.skip` or :func:`unittest.skipIf` -- regression since pytest 8.1.0.


- `13917 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13917>`_: :class:`unittest.SkipTest` is no longer considered an interactive exception, i.e. :hook:`pytest_exception_interact` is no longer called for it.


- `13963 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13963>`_: Fixed subtests running with :pypi:`pytest-xdist` when their contexts contain objects that are not JSON-serializable.

Fixes `pytest-dev/pytest-xdist1273 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/1273>`__.


- `14004 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14004>`_: Fixed conftest.py fixture scoping when :confval:`testpaths` points outside of the :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>`.

Previously, fixtures from nested conftest.py files would incorrectly leak to sibling directories
when using a relative ``testpaths`` like ``../tests/sdk``.

Conftest fixtures are now parsed during :class:`Directory <pytest.Directory>` collection, using the ``Directory`` node for proper scoping.


- `14050 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14050>`_: Display dictionary differences in assertion failures using the original key insertion order instead of sorted order.


- `14080 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14080>`_: fix missing type annotations on ``Pytester.makepyfile`` and ``Pytester.maketxtfile`` methods.


- `14114 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14114>`_: An exception from :hook:`pytest_fixture_post_finalizer` no longer prevents fixtures from being torn down, causing additional errors in the following tests.


- `14161 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14161>`_: Fixed :meth:`monkeypatch.setattr() <pytest.MonkeyPatch.setattr>` leaving a stale entry on the undo stack when the underlying ``setattr()`` call fails (e.g. on immutable targets), causing an ``AttributeError`` crash during teardown.


- `14214 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14214>`_: Fixed ``-v`` hint in :func:`pytest.raises` match diff not working because assertion verbosity was not propagated.


- `14234 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14234>`_: Allow :ref:`pytest.HIDDEN_PARAM <hidden-param>` in :ref:`pytest.mark.parametrize(ids=...) <pytest.mark.parametrize ref>` typing.


- `14248 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14248>`_: Fixed direct parametrization causing the static fixture closure (as reflected in :data:`request.fixturenames <pytest.FixtureRequest.fixturenames>`) to omit fixtures that are requested transitively from overridden fixtures.


- `14263 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14263>`_: Unraisable exceptions from finalizers are now collected during ``pytest_unconfigure``, before pytest tears down the warning filters installed for the session. Previously the collection ran from a cleanup callback whose order relative to other plugins' cleanups was not guaranteed, so an active ``error`` filter could be removed before the exception surfaced and a late resource leak would pass silently. A ``-W error`` filter, or any filter matching :class:`pytest.PytestUnraisableExceptionWarning`, now promotes these exceptions to failures regardless of plugin cleanup order.


- `14377 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14377>`_: Fixed crash in `Config.get_terminal_writer` when an assertion fails with the ``terminalreporter`` plugin disabled.


- `14381 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14381>`_: Fixed ``-V`` (short form of ``--version``) to properly display the current version.


- `14389 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14389>`_: Improved :func:`pytest.raises(..., match=...) <pytest.raises>` failures to suppress the mismatched exception as a cause of the resulting ``AssertionError``.


- `14392 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14392>`_: Fixed a bug in :func:`pytest.raises(match=...) <pytest.raises>` "fully escaped" detection, causing the regex diff display to be shown in some instances when the raw string diff display should be shown instead.


- `14442 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14442>`_: Fixed a regression in pytest 9.0 where :option:`--strict-markers` and :option:`--strict-config` specified through :confval:`addopts` were silently ignored.

Note that when targeting pytest >= 9.0, it's nicer to use :confval:`strict_markers` and :confval:`strict_config`, or :ref:`strict mode <strict mode>`.


- `14456 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14456>`_: Fixed :func:`pytest.approx` not recognizing types with ``__array_interface__`` as numpy-like arrays.


- `14474 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14474>`_: Fixed a regression where ``-k`` and ``-m`` expressions containing both backslash characters in identifiers and string literal arguments would incorrectly raise a ``SyntaxError`` about escaping.


- `14483 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14483>`_: Fixed JUnit XML report incorrectly escaping high Unicode codepoints (supplementary plane characters like emoji) in test failure messages. -- by :user:`EternalRights`


- `14492 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14492>`_: Fixed ``Code.getargs()`` incorrectly including local variable names in the returned argument tuple for functions with ``*args`` and/or ``**kwargs``. The method was using ``co_flags`` bitmask values (``4`` and ``8``) directly as counts instead of converting them to ``1`` via ``bool()``, and was not accounting for ``co_kwonlyargcount`` when ``var=True``.


- `3697 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3697>`_: Logging capture now works for non-propagating loggers.
Previously only logs which reached the root logger were captured.
This includes :fixture:`caplog` and the "Captured log calls" test reporting.


- `3850 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3850>`_: Fixed JUnit XML report: the ``tests`` attribute of the ``<testsuite>`` element now always matches the number of ``<testcase>`` elements in the file. In some cases (test passes but fails during teardown) the ``tests`` attribute would report an incorrect number of testcases in the XML file.


- `5848 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/5848>`_: :hook:`pytest_fixture_post_finalizer` is no longer called extra times for the same fixture teardown in some cases.


- `719 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/719>`_: Fixed :ref:`pytest.mark.parametrize <pytest.mark.parametrize ref>` not unpacking single-element tuple values when using a string argnames with a trailing comma (e.g., ``"arg,"``).

The trailing comma form now correctly behaves like the tuple form ``("arg",)``, treating argvalues as a list of tuples to unpack.



Improved documentation
----------------------

- `11022 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11022>`_: Document safer alternatives and scope guidance for monkeypatching standard library functions.


- `11307 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11307>`_: Document that ``pytest.hookimpl(specname=...)`` only works for function names starting with ``pytest_``.


- `13038 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13038>`_: Document that doctests do not support parametrized fixtures, including parametrized autouse fixtures.


- `13155 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13155>`_: Clarified how the ``request`` fixture provides indirect parametrization values via ``request.param``.


- `13304 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13304>`_: Clarified in the documentation that hook implementations defined in ``conftest.py`` files are not available to other plugins during their ``pytest_addoption()`` execution, as conftest files are discovered and loaded after builtin and third-party plugins have been initialized. However, initial conftest files themselves can implement ``pytest_addoption()`` to add their own command-line options.


- `13902 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13902>`_: Clarified how subtest progress markers are shown in the documentation.


- `14012 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14012>`_: The :ref:`ini options ref` section of the API Reference now specified the type and default value of every configuration option.


- `14148 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14148>`_: Documented a safe ``pytestconfig.cache`` access pattern when the
``cacheprovider`` plugin is disabled.


- `14303 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14303>`_: The documentation is now built with Sphinx >= 9.


- `14465 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14465>`_: Updated the hooks how-to page to link the ``newhooks.py`` file in ``pytest-xdist`` at tag ``v3.8.0`` instead of an unrelated 2017-era commit under the old layout. Pointing at a tag keeps the example in sync with the version users actually install, while remaining stable when the project's main branch moves on.



Miscellaneous internal changes
------------------------------

- `14582 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/14582>`_: Improved the recursion traceback test to exercise all requested traceback styles.
