A new hook was added, `pytest_markeval_namespace` which should return a dictionary. This dictionary will be used to augment the "global" variables available to evaluate skipif/xfail/xpass markers. Pseudo example ``conftest.py``: .. code-block:: python def pytest_markeval_namespace(): return {"color": "red"} ``test_func.py``: .. code-block:: python @pytest.mark.skipif("color == 'blue'", reason="Color is not red") def test_func(): assert False
