 - `#7259 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7259>`_: The :ref:`Node.reportinfo() <non-python tests>` function first return value type has been expanded from `py.path.local | str` to `os.PathLike[str] | str`.
 
   Most plugins which refer to `reportinfo()` only define it as part of a custom :class:`pytest.Item` implementation.
-  Since `py.path.local` is an `os.PathLike[str]`, these plugins are unaffacted.
+  Since `py.path.local` is an `os.PathLike[str]`, these plugins are unaffected.
 
   Plugins and users which call `reportinfo()`, use the first return value and interact with it as a `py.path.local`, would need to adjust by calling `py.path.local(fspath)`.
   Although preferably, avoid the legacy `py.path.local` and use `pathlib.Path`, or use `item.location` or `item.path`, instead.
