Crash: ValueError('%r is not callable' % (type_func,)) with 1.8.0

Description

After updating from 1.7.0 to 1.80, tests fail to run when pytest-profiling is installed (even if it's not used for a test run).

Here's the stack trace:

$ pytest soil_id

You can see the same error on Linux:

Configuration

macOS 15.0.1
Python 3.13.0 (via Homebrew)

or

Ubuntu 24.04
Python 3.12.4

Same issue on my side (python 3.12.4)
I guess the bug is here, we should have type=int.

I'm just wondering why it appears only now 😄
The code is "new", even if it is 6 years old

@jonbannister FYI...

[jonbannister]

Thanks for raising, sorry about that. I have yanked pytest-profiling==1.8.0 and will ensure we have test coverage up to py3.13 before 1.8.1 is released. Please let me know if there are any further issues!

[paulschreiber]

@jonbannister Do you have an ETA for 1.8.1?

[jonbannister]

pytest-profling==1.8.1 has been released, please let us know if there are any further issues.

[paulschreiber]

Confirmed this is fixed in 1.8.1.
