4.2.0

pytest 4.2.0 (2019-01-30)

Features

• #3094: Classic
  xunit-style
  functions and methods now obey the scope of autouse fixtures.

  This fixes a number of surprising issues like setup_method being
  called before session-scoped autouse fixtures (see
  #517 for an
  example).

• #4627: Display
  a message at the end of the test session when running under Python
  2.7 and 3.4 that pytest 5.0 will no longer support those Python
  versions.

• #4660: The
  number of selected tests now are also displayed when the -k or
  -m flags are used.

• #4688:
  pytest_report_teststatus hook now can also receive a config
  parameter.

• #4691:
  pytest_terminal_summary hook now can also receive a config
  parameter.

Bug Fixes

• #3547:
  --junitxml can emit XML compatible with Jenkins xUnit.
  junit_family INI option accepts legacy|xunit1, which produces
  old style output, and xunit2 that conforms more strictly to
  https://github.com/jenkinsci/xunit-plugin/blob/xunit-2.3.2/src/main/resources/org/jenkinsci/plugins/xunit/types/model/xsd/junit-10.xsd

• #4280: Improve
  quitting from pdb, especially with --trace.

  Using q[quit] after pdb.set_trace() will quit pytest also.

• #4402: Warning
  summary now groups warnings by message instead of by test id.

  This makes the output more compact and better conveys the general
  idea of how much code is actually generating warnings, instead of
  how many tests call that code.

• #4536:
  monkeypatch.delattr handles class descriptors like
  staticmethod/classmethod.

• #4649: Restore
  marks being considered keywords for keyword expressions.

• #4653:
  tmp_path fixture and other related ones provides resolved path
  (a.k.a real path)

• #4667:
  pytest_terminal_summary uses result from
  pytest_report_teststatus hook, rather than hardcoded strings.

• #4669:
  Correctly handle unittest.SkipTest exception containing non-ascii
  characters on Python 2.

• #4680: Ensure
  the tmpdir and the tmp_path fixtures are the same folder.

• #4681: Ensure
  tmp_path is always a real path.

Trivial/Internal Changes

• #4643: Use
  a.item() instead of the deprecated np.asscalar(a) in
  pytest.approx.

  np.asscalar has been
  deprecated
  in numpy 1.16..

• #4657: Copy
  saferepr from pylib

• #4668: The
  verbose word for expected failures in the teststatus report changes
  from xfail to XFAIL to be consistent with other test outcomes.
