test_ok2/changelog/7259.feature.rst

Added :meth:`cache.mkdir() <pytest.Cache.mkdir>`, which is similar to the existing :meth:`cache.makedir() <pytest.Cache.makedir>`,
but returns a :class:`pathlib.Path` instead of a legacy ``py.path.local``.

Added a ``paths`` type to :meth:`parser.addini() <pytest.Parser.addini>`,
as in ``parser.addini("mypaths", "my paths", type="paths")``,
which is similar to the existing ``pathlist``,
but returns a list of :class:`pathlib.Path` instead of legacy ``py.path.local``.
cacheprovider: add cache.mkdir() as a Path-returning replacement to makedir() It is not possible to change a return type in a compatible way, so a new method is added. 2021-03-15 03:58:37 +08:00			Added :meth:`cache.mkdir() <pytest.Cache.mkdir>`, which is similar to the existing :meth:`cache.makedir() <pytest.Cache.makedir>`,
			but returns a :class:`pathlib.Path` instead of a legacy ``py.path.local``.
argparsing: support parser.addini(type="paths") which returns pathlib.Paths 2021-04-26 22:46:26 +08:00
argparsing: export Parser and OptionGroup for typing purposes `Parser` is used by many plugins and custom hooks. `OptionGroup` is exposed by the `parser.addgroup` API. The constructors of both are marked private, they are not meant to be constructed directly. 2021-05-24 04:45:49 +08:00			Added a ``paths`` type to :meth:`parser.addini() <pytest.Parser.addini>`,
argparsing: support parser.addini(type="paths") which returns pathlib.Paths 2021-04-26 22:46:26 +08:00			as in ``parser.addini("mypaths", "my paths", type="paths")``,
