Follow-up to #9309.
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.

Last time I "fixed" this I left a `\` at the start of the string
to avoid an initial newline, but didn't realize it was a raw string.
This should fix it now for good.
* Changed "Table Of Contents" link to a plain heading.
* Removed Customize, API Reference, 3rd party plugins links altogether.
* Added an "About the project" heading
This type is most prominent in `pytest.raises` and we should allow to
refer to it by a public name.
The type is not in a perfectly "exposable" state. In particular:
- The `traceback` property with type `Traceback` which is derived from
the `py.code` API and exposes a bunch more types transitively. This
stuff is *not* exported and probably won't be.
- The `getrepr` method which probably should be private.
But they're already used in the wild so no point in just hiding them
now.
The __init__ API is hidden -- the public API for this are the `from_*`
classmethods.
Sections have been moved to:
* reference/fixtures.rst
* how-to/fixtures.rst
* fixtures.rst
according to their function. Further refinement and rewriting will be required.
Some material has been moved to a new "Anatomy of a test" document, in
anticipation that material from other sections will also find a natural
home there later.
Removed several unneeded reference targets from fixtures documentation.
Moved various documents into subdirectories, how-to and
reference.
Updated multiple links to use `:ref:` instead of `:doc:`,
meaning that files can henceforth be moved around without
breaking references.
This configures Sphinx autodoc to include the type annotations
along with the description of the function/method, instead of including
it into the signature.
Fix#8405
* Fix test_strict_and_skip
The `--strict` argument was removed in #2552, but the removal wasn't
actually correct - see #1472.
* Fix argument handling in pytest.mark.skip
See #8384
* Raise from None
* Fix test name
doc This paragraph looks like it is a more verbose version of the sentence right above it. Removing it doesn't reduce the amount of information here but does make the section flow a little better.
In assert.rst at line 175 and further there is an example of an assert encountering comparisons. The code-block for this example starts with a comment (line 177) and then it has 2 empty lines. Comparing this example code (test_assert2.py) with the previously mentioned example code on the same page (i.e. test_assert1.py) you can see that there should not be 2 empty lines after the comment. These 2 empty lines are removed.
Also update these tests ensure they pass, and be explicit about the test
file called in an existing test to avoid unintentional calls to the
added tests
It is not very clear why this code exists -- we are not running any
unittest or nose code during collection, and really these frameworks
don't have the concept of collection at all, and just raising these
exceptions at e.g. the module level would cause an error. So unless I'm
missing something, I don't think anyone is using this.
Deprecate it so we can eventually clear up this code and keep unittest
more tightly restricted to its plugin.
Pytest document currently does not index the top-level package name
`pytest`, which causes some trouble when building documentation that
cross-refers to the pytest package via ``:mod:`pytest` ``.
In https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/reference.html#testdir, it is
suggested:
> New code should avoid using testdir in favor of pytester.
Multiple spots in the documents still use testdir and they can be quite
confusing (especially the plugin writing guide).

The type cannot be constructed directly, but is exported for use in type
annotations, since it is reachable through existing public API.
This also documents `from_call` as public, because at least
pytest-forked uses it, so we must treat it as public already anyway.
* Custom multiple marker execution order
https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8020 issue stated that ordering of multiple custom markers is from inside - out. I have added example for the same in the documentation. Please let me know for further changes / concerns.

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.
We want to export `pytest.MonkeyPatch` for the purpose of
type-annotating the `monkeypatch` fixture. For other fixtures we export
in this way, we also make direct construction of them (e.g.
`MonkeyPatch()`) private. But unlike the others, `MonkeyPatch` is also
widely used directly already, mostly because the `monkeypatch` fixture
only works in `function` scope (issue #363), but also in other cases. So
making it private will be annoying and we don't offer a decent
replacement yet.
So, let's just make direct construction public & documented.
Usually, we use semi-colon punctuation mark to connect closely related
ideas. Sentences which are after semicolon, begins with small letter,
and last sentence always ends with a period mark, see "Garner's Modern
American Usage" book for more information about usage of punctuation
mark. So removing punctuation mark altogether is a good idea, as
@gnikonorov suggested [1].

When a name is exported from `pytest`, prefer to refer to it by that
rather than its `_pytest` import path. It is shorter and more
appropriate in user-facing documentation (although that's not really
visible).
Our plan is to expose more names for typing purposes, in which can this
could be more comprehensive.
Before, `PluginManager` was a copy of the pluggy doc, and
`PytestPluginManager` was documented separately.
pytest users only really need to know about `PytestPluginManager`, so
instead of splitting have the `PytestPluginManager` documentation
include all of `PluginManager` members and remove `PluginManager` from
the reference (it is still shown as the base class).

This is a follow up to 3f8200676f which didn't
make it clear that log_print is also removed in the changelog and didn't remove
it from the reference docs.
Previously was restricted to >=1.8.2,<2.1, but newer versions have some
nice improvements I'd like to be able to use in upcoming changes.
Changelog: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html#release-3-1-0-released-jun-08-2020
There are two issues that came up:
1. `highlightlang` is deprecated for `highlight`.
2. Doesn't like having two `automethod` generated for the same
`Metafunc.parametrize` method. Gives this warning:
`pytest/doc/en/reference.rst:846: WARNING: duplicate object description of _pytest.python.Metafunc.parametrize, other instance in reference, use :noindex: for one of them`
To work around this I make `pytest.mark.parametrize` link to
`Metafunc.parametrize` instead of repeating it.
This introduces a new role, `:globalvar:`, so we can mark/reference
variables like `pytest_plugins`, `pytestmark`, etc. This besides being useful
also makes the documentation look more consistent.
