Closes#7480.
This allows us to more easily follow our deprecation policy of turning
warnings into errors for the X.0 releases before complete removal in
X.1.
It also makes the deprecation timeline clear to both the users and
pytest developers -- it can be hard to keep track.
Note that the designation is not meant to be a binding contract - if the
time comes for removal of a specific deprecation but we decide it's too
soon, can just bump it to the next major.

* Remove changelog entry for #8251
Reverted in #8903
* Move #9202 changelog to to trivial
This won't concern users of pytest
* Streamline deprecation changelogs/docs
* Remove #8994 changelog
This is an impovement for a warning introduced in this release, so including it in a changelog against the last release seems confusing.
* Remove #9241 changelog
This is an impovement for a doc update introduced in this release, so including it in a changelog against the last release seems confusing. The issue number also seems about something different.
* Remove #8897 changelog
Empty file...
* Various minor changelog fixes
* porting pytest.skip() to use reason=, adding tests
* avoid adding **kwargs, it breaks other functionality, use optional msg= instead
* deprecation of `pytest.fail(msg=...)`
* fix bug with not capturing the returned reason value
* pass reason= in acceptance async tests instead of msg=
* finalising deprecations of `msg` in `pytest.skip()` and `pytest.fail()`
* Update doc/en/deprecations.rst

* fix failing test after upstream merge
* adding deprecation to `pytest.exit(msg=...)`
* add docs for pytest.exit deprecations
* finalising deprecation of msg for pytest.skip, pytest.exit and pytest.fail
* hold a reference to the Scope instance to please mypy

The current PDF docs attempt to format the list of all plugins as a
table, without any word-wrapping of the plugin description. That results
in almost all the information getting cut off. This PR formats the same
information into more of a paragraph format for the PDF, with nothing
cut off.
Fixes#451
This is unfortunately a dependency on `py.path` which cannot be moved to
an external plugins or eased in any way, so has to be deprecated in
order for pytest to be able to eventually remove the dependency on `py`.
Export `HookRecorder`, `RecordedHookCall` (originally `ParsedCall`),
`RunResult`, `LineMatcher`.
These types are reachable through `Pytester` and so should be public
themselves for typing and other purposes.
The name `ParsedCall` I think is too generic under the `pytest`
namespace, so rename it to `RecordedHookCall`.
The `HookRecorder`'s constructor is made private -- it should only be
constructed by `Pytester`.
`LineMatcher` and `RunResult` are exported as is - no private and no
rename, since they're being used.
All of the classes are made final as they are not designed for
subclassing.
`reportinfo()` is the last remaining py.path-only code path in pytest,
i.e. the last piece holding back py.path deprecation. The problem with
it is that plugins/users use it from both sides -- implementing it
(returning the value) and using it (using the return value). Dealing
with implementers is easy enough -- allow to return `os.PathLike[str]`.
But for callers who expect strictly `py.path` this will break and
there's not really a good way to provide backward compat for this.
From analyzing a corpus of 680 pytest plugins, the vast majority of
`reportinfo` appearances are implementations, and the few callers don't
actually access the path part of the return tuple.
As for test suites that might access `reportinfo` (e.g. using
`request.node.reportinfo()` or other ways), that is much harder to
survey, but from the ones I searched, I only found case
(`pytest_teamcity`, but even then it uses `str(fspath)` so is unlikely
to be affected in practice). They are better served with using
`node.location` or `node.path` directly.
Therefore, just break it and change the return type to
`str|os.PathLike[str]`.
Refs #7259.
A new plugin has this summary:
Continiously runs pytest on changes in *.py files
The `*` is interpreted as a special character and fails the CI.
Add some rudimentary escaping to hopefully prevent this.
The projects page unfortunately contains a lot of old projects, and some information there appears to be stale.
It was created at a time pytest was starting to be used, but seems pointless now as pytest is the most popular testing framework, so listing a few dozen projects which use it seems pointless.
Rather than updating it, I think we should remove it because this has the chance to become stale again soon, and not sure how valuable it is anyway.
The PDF documentation on readthedocs was missing the figures in the
fixtures reference chapter. This PR uses a Sphinx plugin that
automatically converts the checked-in SVG files to the PDF input files
that LaTeX requires.
The SVG-to-PDF conversion is done by inkscape, which gave the best
conversion among the tools I tried. However, it [does not yet
understand][href-bug] that you can write a plain `href` instead of
`xlink:href` in svg files, so I’ve had to edit the SVG files
accordingly.

It is not clear yet how we should proceed with this deprecation
because `pytest.Item.reportinfo` is public API and returns a `py.path` object,
and is not clear how plugins and our examples should handle that.
Reverting just the deprecation aspect of #8251 so we can get a 7.0.0 release out.
We will reintroduce the deprecation later once we have a clear path moving forward with replacing `reportinfo`.
