`_set_initial_conftests` could break on some systems if a very long
option was passed, because the `Path.exists()` call raises an
`OSError` instead of returning `False`.
Fix#10169
Closes#10831.
This fixes a small bug where running tests that contained
`pytest.fail(pytrace=False)` with the `--tb=line` flag set results in
an output of "None" in the Failures section of the output, and adds
a test to ensure the behavior is correct.
The problem is that we would loop over all directories of the basetemp directory searching for dead symlinks, for each test, which would compound over the test session run.
Doing the cleanup just once, at the end of the session, fixes the problem.
Fix#10896
The old-style `sys.exc_info()` triplet is redundant nowadays with
`(type(exc), exc, exc.__traceback__)`, and is beginning to get
soft-deprecated in Python 3.12.
Add a nicer API to ExceptionInfo which takes just the exc instead of the
triplet. There are already a few internal uses which benefit.
Fix#10875
Without this, fails with
```
...
E AttributeError: 'TestCaseFunction' object has no attribute 'addDuration'
...
E RuntimeWarning: TestResult has no addDuration method
```
pytest could crash given pathological AST position attributes, which shouldn't happen when testing real Python code, but could happen when testing AST produced by e.g. Hylang.
Another example of the failure is in the nightly CI for the JAX project: https://github.com/google/jax/actions/runs/4607513902/jobs/8142126075

This makes it possible to correlate pytest stages with external events, and also makes it readable when TestReports are exported externall (for example with pytest-reportlog).
Closes#10710
Since pytest now requires Python>=3.7, we can use the stdlib attrs
clone, dataclasses, instead of the OG package.
attrs is still somewhat nicer than dataclasses and has some extra
functionality, but for pytest usage there's not really a justification
IMO to impose the extra dependency on users when a standard alternative
exists.
Makes `AbstractContextManager` the shared base class between "raises" and other context managers.
The motivation is for type checkers to narrow `pytest.raises(...) if x else nullcontext()` to a `ContextManager` rather than `object`.
Fixes https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10604 which could intermittently display unexpected behavior between checking if the path exists and requesting creation. This was fairly prevalent when pytest was being invoked in parallel by another test runner (CTest) and trying to create the same parent-folder for multiple XMLs. A modest amount of testing did not reproduce other filesystem race conditions.
This notably does not work around an edge case where the parent path of the XML could be created as a file instead of a folder or link. That vanishingly rare case should cause file creation to fail on the next line, with a fairly obvious exception message.
