Pytest

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

- fix issue202 - better automatic names for parametrized test functions
- fix issue139 - introduce pytest.fixture which allows direct scoping
and parametrization of funcarg factories.
- fix issue198 - conftest fixtures were not found on windows32 in some
circumstances with nested directory structures due to path manipulation issues
- fix issue193 skip test functions with were parametrized with empty
parameter sets
- fix python3.3 compat, mostly reporting bits that previously depended
on dict ordering
- introduce re-ordering of tests by resource and parametrization setup
which takes precedence to the usual file-ordering
- fix issue185 monkeypatching time.time does not cause pytest to fail
- fix issue172 duplicate call of pytest.fixture decoratored setup_module
functions
- fix junitxml=path construction so that if tests change the
current working directory and the path is a relative path
it is constructed correctly from the original current working dir.
- fix "python setup.py test" example to cause a proper "errno" return
- fix issue165 - fix broken doc links and mention stackoverflow for FAQ
- catch unicode-issues when writing failure representations
to terminal to prevent the whole session from crashing
- fix xfail/skip confusion: a skip-mark or an imperative pytest.skip
will now take precedence before xfail-markers because we
can't determine xfail/xpass status in case of a skip. see also:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11105828/in-py-test-when-i-explicitly-skip-a-test-that-is-marked-as-xfail-how-can-i-get

- always report installed 3rd party plugins in the header of a test run

- fix issue160: a failing setup of an xfail-marked tests should
be reported as xfail (not xpass)

- fix issue128: show captured output when capsys/capfd are used

- fix issue179: properly show the dependency chain of factories

- pluginmanager.register(...) now raises ValueError if the
plugin has been already registered or the name is taken

- fix issue159: improve https://docs.pytest.org/en/6.0.1/faq.html
especially with respect to the "magic" history, also mention
pytest-django, trial and unittest integration.

- make request.keywords and node.keywords writable. All descendant
collection nodes will see keyword values. Keywords are dictionaries
containing markers and other info.

- fix issue 178: xml binary escapes are now wrapped in py.xml.raw

- fix issue 176: correctly catch the builtin AssertionError
even when we replaced AssertionError with a subclass on the
python level

- factory discovery no longer fails with magic global callables
that provide no sane __code__ object (mock.call for example)

- fix issue 182: testdir.inprocess_run now considers passed plugins

- fix issue 188: ensure sys.exc_info is clear on python2
before calling into a test

- fix issue 191: add unittest TestCase runTest method support
- fix issue 156: monkeypatch correctly handles class level descriptors

- reporting refinements:

- pytest_report_header now receives a "startdir" so that
you can use startdir.bestrelpath(yourpath) to show
nice relative path

- allow plugins to implement both pytest_report_header and
pytest_sessionstart (sessionstart is invoked first).

- don't show deselected reason line if there is none

- py.test -vv will show all of assert comparisons instead of truncating

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

- fix error message for rewritten assertions involving the % operator
- fix issue 126: correctly match all invalid xml characters for junitxml
binary escape
- fix issue with unittest: now unittest.expectedFailure markers should
be processed correctly (you can also use pytest.mark markers)
- document integration with the extended distribute/setuptools test commands
- fix issue 140: properly get the real functions
of bound classmethods for setup/teardown_class
- fix issue 141: switch from the deceased paste.pocoo.org to bpaste.net
- fix issue 143: call unconfigure/sessionfinish always when
configure/sessionstart where called
- fix issue 144: better mangle test ids to junitxml classnames
- upgrade distribute_setup.py to 0.6.27

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

- fix uploaded package to only include necessary files

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

- fix issue101: wrong args to unittest.TestCase test function now
produce better output
- fix issue102: report more useful errors and hints for when a
test directory was renamed and some pyc/__pycache__ remain
- fix issue106: allow parametrize to be applied multiple times
e.g. from module, class and at function level.
- fix issue107: actually perform session scope finalization
- don't check in parametrize if indirect parameters are funcarg names
- add chdir method to monkeypatch funcarg
- fix crash resulting from calling monkeypatch undo a second time
- fix issue115: make --collectonly robust against early failure
(missing files/directories)
- "-qq --collectonly" now shows only files and the number of tests in them
- "-q --collectonly" now shows test ids
- allow adding of attributes to test reports such that it also works
with distributed testing (no upgrade of pytest-xdist needed)

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

- fix issue99 (in pytest and py) internallerrors with resultlog now
produce better output - fixed by normalizing pytest_internalerror
input arguments.
- fix issue97 / traceback issues (in pytest and py) improve traceback output
in conjunction with jinja2 and cython which hack tracebacks
- fix issue93 (in pytest and pytest-xdist) avoid "delayed teardowns":
the final test in a test node will now run its teardown directly
instead of waiting for the end of the session. Thanks Dave Hunt for
the good reporting and feedback. The pytest_runtest_protocol as well
as the pytest_runtest_teardown hooks now have "nextitem" available
which will be None indicating the end of the test run.
- fix collection crash due to unknown-source collected items, thanks
to Ralf Schmitt (fixed by depending on a more recent pylib)

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

- fix issue90: introduce eager tearing down of test items so that
teardown function are called earlier.
- add an all-powerful metafunc.parametrize function which allows to
parametrize test function arguments in multiple steps and therefore
from independent plugins and places.
- add a pytest.mark.parametrize helper which allows to easily
call a test function with different argument values
- Add examples to the "parametrize" example page, including a quick port
of Test scenarios and the new parametrize function and decorator.
- introduce registration for "pytest.mark.*" helpers via ini-files
or through plugin hooks. Also introduce a "--strict" option which
will treat unregistered markers as errors
allowing to avoid typos and maintain a well described set of markers
for your test suite. See examples at http://pytest.org/en/stable/how-to/mark.html
and its links.
- issue50: introduce "-m marker" option to select tests based on markers
(this is a stricter and more predictable version of '-k' in that "-m"
only matches complete markers and has more obvious rules for and/or
semantics.
- new feature to help optimizing the speed of your tests:
--durations=N option for displaying N slowest test calls
and setup/teardown methods.
- fix issue87: --pastebin now works with python3
- fix issue89: --pdb with unexpected exceptions in doctest work more sensibly
- fix and cleanup pytest's own test suite to not leak FDs
- fix issue83: link to generated funcarg list
- fix issue74: pyarg module names are now checked against imp.find_module false positives
- fix compatibility with twisted/trial-11.1.0 use cases
- simplify Node.listchain
- simplify junitxml output code by relying on py.xml
- add support for skip properties on unittest classes and functions
