pytest uses a root temp directory named `/tmp/pytest-of-<username>`. The
name is predictable, and the directory might already exists from a
previous run, so that's allowed.
This makes it possible for my_user to pre-create
`/tmp/pytest-of-another_user`, thus giving my_user control of
another_user's tempdir.
Prevent this scenario by adding a couple of safety checks. I believe
they are sufficient.
Testing the first check requires changing the owner, which requires
root permissions, so can't be unit-tested easily, but I checked it
manually.
(Written for a Unix system, but might be applicable to Windows as well).
pytest creates a root temporary directory under /tmp, named
`pytest-of-<username>`, and creates tmp_path's and other under it.
/tmp is shared between all users of the system.
This root temporary directory was created with 0o777&~umask permissions,
which usually becomes 0o755, meaning any user in the system could list
and read the files, which is undesirable.
Use 0o700 permissions instead. Also for subdirectories, because the root
dir is adjustable.
* retry writing pytest-of dir when invalid chars are in directory name
* add unit tests for getbasetemp() and changelog
* patch _basetemp & _given_basetemp for testing basetemp()
* Tweak changelog for #8317, tidy up comments
In order to allow users to type annotate fixtures they request, the
types need to be imported from the `pytest` namespace. They are/were
always available to import from the `_pytest` namespace, but that is
not guaranteed to be stable.
These types are only exported for the purpose of typing. Specifically,
the following are *not* public:
- Construction (`__init__`)
- Subclassing
- staticmethods and classmethods
We try to combat them being used anyway by:
- Marking the classes as `@final` when possible (already done).
- Not documenting private stuff in the API Reference.
- Using `_`-prefixed names or marking as `:meta private:` for private
stuff.
- Adding a keyword-only `_ispytest=False` to private constructors,
warning if False, and changing pytest itself to pass True. In the
future it will (hopefully) become a hard error.
Hopefully that will be enough.

Related to #5275
It doesn't seem to add much value (why would one execute tests
based on that marker?), plus using the docstring for that
encourages one to write a more descriptive message about the test
For strings fnmatch_lines converts it into a Source objects, splitted on
newlines. This is not necessary here, and it is more consistent to use
lists here in the first place.
To keep existing tests which emit RemovedInPytest4Warnings running, decided
to go with a command line option because:
* Is harder to integrate an ini option with tests which already use an ini file
* It also marks tests which need to be removed/updated in 4.1, when
RemovedInPytest4Warning and related functionality are removed.
