Yup, looking at CI it will take a bit more work, switching to draft for now - feel free to pick up @blink1073

I ran into several problems: flaky appears to be abandoned and incompatible, pytest-retry also appears to be incompatible by I wanted to get a hotfix out ASAP.

[krassowski]

Yes, I totally agree 💯

FYI: The changes in this PR are compatible with Pytest 7.0+ ; you don't have to bump the minimum version.

[blink1073]

It looks like we're now compatible with Pytest 8, #136. Thanks for looking into this!

[mr-c]

@blink1073 I don't think so; is your CI actually running the newer pytest version? You still need the changes in this PR for pytest 8.1 compat

[blink1073]

Hmm, you're right @mr-c, it didn't actually install pytest 8 even though the constraint was lifted...

[blink1073]

Oh, wait, no, it did, I was looking at a prior run: https://github.com/jupyterlab/pytest-check-links/actions/runs/8537702936/job/23388842190

[mr-c]

Ah, pytest 8.1.0 breaks without these changes , but then 8.1.0 was pulled. 8.1.1 issues warnings. Will you still merge this PR so that pytest 8.2 or 9.0 won't break? Setting a minimum version of 7.0 for Pytest is also still a good idea
