4.6.9

pytest 4.6.9 (2020-01-04)

Bug Fixes

• #6301: Fix
  assertion rewriting for egg-based distributions and editable
  installs (pip install --editable).

4.6.8

pytest 4.6.8 (2019-12-19)

Features

• #5471: JUnit
  XML now includes a timestamp and hostname in the testsuite tag.

Bug Fixes

• #5430:
  junitxml: Logs for failed test are now passed to junit report in
  case the test fails during call phase.

Trivial/Internal Changes

• #6345: Pin
  colorama to 0.4.1 only for Python 3.4 so newer Python versions
  can still receive colorama updates.

5.3.2

pytest 5.3.2 (2019-12-13)

Improvements

• #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.

Bug Fixes

• #5430:
  junitxml: Logs for failed test are now passed to junit report in
  case the test fails during call phase.
• #6290: The
  supporting files in the .pytest_cache directory are kept with
  --cache-clear, which only clears cached values now.
• #6301: Fix
  assertion rewriting for egg-based distributions and editable
  installs (pip install --editable).

4.6.7

pytest 4.6.7 (2019-12-05)

Bug Fixes

• #5477: The XML
  file produced by --junitxml now correctly contain a <testsuites>
  root element.
• #6044: Properly
  ignore FileNotFoundError (OSError.errno == NOENT in Python 2)
  exceptions when trying to remove old temporary directories, for
  instance when multiple processes try to remove the same directory
  (common with pytest-xdist for example).

5.3.1

pytest 5.3.1 (2019-11-25)

Improvements

• #6231: Improve check for misspelling of pytest.mark.parametrize.
• #6257: Handle exit.Exception raised in notify_exception (via pytest_internalerror), e.g. when quitting pdb from post mortem.

Bug Fixes

• #5914: pytester: fix no_fnmatch_line when used after positive matching.
• #6082: Fix line detection for doctest samples inside property docstrings, as a workaround to bpo-17446.
• #6254: Fix compatibility with pytest-parallel (regression in pytest 5.3.0).
• #6255: Clear the sys.last_traceback, sys.last_type and sys.last_value attributes by deleting them instead of setting them to None. This better matches the behaviour of the Python standard library.

5.3.0

pytest 5.3.0 (2019-11-19)

Deprecations

• #6179: The
  default value of junit_family option will change to xunit2 in
  pytest 6.0, given that this is the version supported by default in
  modern tools that manipulate this type of file.

  In order to smooth the transition, pytest will issue a warning in
  case the --junitxml option is given in the command line but
  junit_family is not explicitly configured in pytest.ini.

  For more information, see the
  docs.

Features

• #4488: The
  pytest team has created the
  pytest-reportlog
  plugin, which provides a new --report-log=FILE option that writes
  report logs into a file as the test session executes.

  Each line of the report log contains a self contained JSON object
  corresponding to a testing event, such as a collection or a test
  result report. The file is guaranteed to be flushed after writing
  each line, so systems can read and process events in real-time.

  The plugin is meant to replace the --resultlog option, which is
  deprecated and meant to be removed in a future release. If you use
  --resultlog, please try out pytest-reportlog and
  provide feedback.

• #4730: When
  sys.pycache_prefix (Python 3.8+) is set, it will be used by pytest
  to cache test files changed by the assertion rewriting mechanism.

  This makes it easier to benefit of cached .pyc files even on file
  systems without permissions.

• #5515: Allow
  selective auto-indentation of multiline log messages.

  Adds command line option --log-auto-indent, config option
  log_auto_indent and support for per-entry configuration of
  indentation behavior on calls to logging.log().

  Alters the default for auto-indention from on to off. This
  restores the older behavior that existed prior to v4.6.0. This
  reversion to earlier behavior was done because it is better to
  activate new features that may lead to broken tests explicitly
  rather than implicitly.

• #5914:
  pytester learned two new functions,
  no_fnmatch_line
  and
  no_re_match_line.

  The functions are used to ensure the captured text does not match
  the given pattern.

  The previous idiom was to use re.match:

  assert re.match(pat, result.stdout.str()) is None
  

  Or the in operator:

  assert text in result.stdout.str()
  

  But the new functions produce best output on failure.

• #6057: Added
  tolerances to complex values when printing pytest.approx.

  For example, repr(pytest.approx(3+4j)) returns
  (3+4j) ± 5e-06 ∠ ±180°. This is polar notation indicating a circle
  around the expected value, with a radius of 5e-06. For approx
  comparisons to return True, the actual value should fall within
  this circle.

• #6061: Added
  the pluginmanager as an argument to pytest_addoption so that hooks
  can be invoked when setting up command line options. This is useful
  for having one plugin communicate things to another plugin, such as
  default values or which set of command line options to add.

Improvements

• #5061: Use
  multiple colors with terminal summary statistics.

• #5630: Quitting
  from debuggers is now properly handled in doctest items.

• #5924: Improved
  verbose diff output with sequences.

  Before:

  E   AssertionError: assert ['version', '...version_info'] == ['version', '...version', ...]
  E     Right contains 3 more items, first extra item: ' '
  E     Full diff:
  E     - ['version', 'version_info', 'sys.version', 'sys.version_info']
  E     + ['version',
  E     +  'version_info',
  E     +  'sys.version',
  E     +  'sys.version_info',
  E     +  ' ',
  E     +  'sys.version',
  E     +  'sys.version_info']
  

  After:

  E   AssertionError: assert ['version', '...version_info'] == ['version', '...version', ...]
  E     Right contains 3 more items, first extra item: ' '
  E     Full diff:
  E       [
  E        'version',
  E        'version_info',
  E        'sys.version',
  E        'sys.version_info',
  E     +  ' ',
  E     +  'sys.version',
  E     +  'sys.version_info',
  E       ]
  

• #5936: Display
  untruncated assertion message with -vv.

• #5990: Fixed
  plurality mismatch in test summary (e.g. display "1 error" instead
  of "1 errors").

• #6008:
  Config.InvocationParams.args is now always a tuple to better
  convey that it should be immutable and avoid
  accidental modifications.

• #6023:
  pytest.main now returns a pytest.ExitCode instance now, except
  for when custom exit codes are used (where it returns int
  then still).

• #6026: Align
  prefixes in output of pytester's LineMatcher.

• #6059:
  Collection errors are reported as errors (and not failures
  like before) in the terminal's short test summary.

• #6069:
  pytester.spawn does not skip/xfail tests on FreeBSD
  anymore unconditionally.

• #6097: The
  "[XXX%]" indicator in the test summary is now colored according to
  the final (new) multi-colored line's main color.

• #6116: Added
  --co as a synonym to --collect-only.

• #6148:
  atomicwrites is now only used on Windows, fixing a performance
  regression with assertion rewriting on Unix.

• #6152: Now
  parametrization will use the __name__ attribute of any object for
  the id, if present. Previously it would only use __name__ for
  functions and classes.

• #6176: Improved
  failure reporting with pytester's Hookrecorder.assertoutcome.

• #6181: The
  reason for a stopped session, e.g. with --maxfail / -x, now gets
  reported in the test summary.

• #6206: Improved
  cache.set robustness and performance.

Bug Fixes

• #2049: Fixed
  --setup-plan showing inaccurate information about
  fixture lifetimes.

• #2548: Fixed
  line offset mismatch of skipped tests in terminal summary.

• #6039: The
  PytestDoctestRunner is now properly invalidated when unconfiguring
  the doctest plugin.

  This is important when used with pytester's runpytest_inprocess.

• #6047:
  BaseExceptions are now handled in saferepr, which includes
  pytest.fail.Exception etc.

• #6074:
  pytester: fixed order of arguments in rm_rf warning when cleaning
  up temporary directories, and do not emit warnings for errors with
  os.open.

• #6189: Fixed
  result of getmodpath method.

Trivial/Internal Changes

• #4901:
  RunResult from pytester now displays the mnemonic of the ret
  attribute when it is a valid pytest.ExitCode value.

  first test in a package (__init__.py) marked with
  @pytest.mark.skip is now correctly skipped.
• #6099: Fix
  --trace when used with parametrized functions.
• #6183: Using
  request as a parameter name in @pytest.mark.parametrize now
  produces a more user-friendly error.

  --nf to not forget about known nodeids with partial
  test selection.
• #5906: Fix
  crash with KeyboardInterrupt during --setup-show.
• #5946: Fixed
