It is unnecessary and has been deleted from the setuptools' docs too.
The setuptools' PEP 517 build backend implementation has been
auto-adding the `wheel` dependency since it's first been implemented.
While taking a look at the docs I noticed they were not properly sorted.
This just moves the sections around so they are sorted alphabetically, without any other changes.
This should help users with the common issue of patching the wrong place.
Also took the opportunity of using proper links in the monkeypatch introduction.

New versions of sphinx starting showing `__init__` parameters even when
we don't want them to show because they are private (have `_ispytest`
argument).
The only working solution I found was to switch to
`autodoc_typehints_description_target = "documented"` and explicitly
document parameters for which we want to show the types. It's a little
tedious and repetitive in some simple cases, but overall it results in
nicer API docs.
`usage.rst` has been moved from `doc/en` to `doc/en/how-to`, so the `man_pages` configuration
value needs to be updated to the new location, so that we dont get this warning:
writing... WARNING: "man_pages" config value references unknown document usage
- Remove the index page https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/genindex.html
Such an index is reasonable in books but not so much in HTML pages.
IMHO the integrated search is much more user-friendly and sufficient.
- Remove the PDF link from the entry page. The PDF is already linked
in the sidebar. I anticipate that getting the PDF documentation is
not a major concern for users.
- Remove the sections "Changelog" and "License" from the entry page.
These section only contain links to the respective pages.
These topics are purely technical. They should be easily accessible
(which they still are through sidebar section "About the project"),
but they don't need additional advertisement through a dedicated
section on the entry page.
This is especially useful for large repositories (e.g. monorepos) that
use a hierarchical file system organization for nested test paths.
src/*/tests
The implementation uses the standard `glob` module to perform wildcard
expansion in Config.parse().
The related logic that determines whether or not to include 'testpaths'
in the terminal header was previously relying on a weak heuristic: if
Config.args matched 'testpaths', then its value was printed. That
generally worked, but it could also print when the user explicitly used
the same arguments on the command-line as listed in 'testpaths'. Not a
big deal, but it shows that the check was logically incorrect.
Now that 'testpaths' can contain wildcards, it's no longer possible to
perform this simple comparison, so this change also introduces a public
Config.ArgSource enum and Config.args_source attribute that explicitly
names the "source" of the arguments: the command line, the invocation
directory, or the 'testdata' configuration value.
This changes the order to:
- API Reference
- Fixtures reference
- Configuration
- Exit codes
- Plugin List
which is approximately sorted from general to specific and often used to less used.
Plugin List ist at the end because it points to further external resources.
This extensive explanation is not need anymore because they are now
unsupported for a long time.
Instead add as short section on Python version compatibility in the
backward compatibility docs.
It's better to have the documentation in one place, instead
of having some in the docstring and some additional
information added to the reference documentation in
`reference.rst`.
Up to now, some had the prefix, some didn't. I think it's good to have
this prefix to give more context, otherwise the links sometimes blend
into the description.
In one case, the link goes to an example, so I used `**Example**:` there.

The issue in the changelog broke the docs build with:
doc/en/_changelog_towncrier_draft.rst:47: WARNING: Inline literal start-string
without end-string.
The second change isn't as critical, but caused the text to be rendered as
monospace including the tilde (i.e. `~pytest.PytestDeprecationwarning`).
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.

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`.

In the "Getting Started" doc, the test class instance example for
instance sharing doesn't actually demonstrate anything about the
reinstantiation of the class. This change shows clearly how the instance
data isn't retained between test runs.
`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.
* Expand command line argument examples with validation examples
This shows how to pass more detailed error messages back to the user when
they've provided an incorrect value for a custom command line option.
