 Below is a complete list of all pytest features which are considered deprecated. Using those features will issue

+:class:`~pytest.PytestWarning` or subclasses, which can be filtered using :ref:`standard warning filters <warnings>`.
+
+.. _instance-collector-deprecation:
+
+The ``pytest.Instance`` collector
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 7.0
+
+The ``pytest.Instance`` collector type has been removed.
+
+Previously, Python test methods were collected as :class:`~pytest.Class` -> ``Instance`` -> :class:`~pytest.Function`.
+Now :class:`~pytest.Class` collects the test methods directly.
+
+Most plugins which reference ``Instance`` do so in order to ignore or skip it,
+using a check such as ``if isinstance(node, Instance): return``.
+Such plugins should simply remove consideration of ``Instance`` on pytest>=7.
+However, to keep such uses working, a dummy type has been instanted in ``pytest.Instance`` and ``_pytest.python.Instance``,
+and importing it emits a deprecation warning. This will be removed in pytest 8.
 
 
-``Node.fspath`` in favor of ``pathlib`` and ``Node.path``
+.. _node-ctor-fspath-deprecation:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-.. deprecated:: 6.3
+``fspath`` argument for Node constructors replaced with ``pathlib.Path``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-As pytest tries to move off `py.path.local <https://py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/path.html>`__ we ported most of the node internals to :mod:`pathlib`.
+.. deprecated:: 7.0
 
-Pytest will provide compatibility for quite a while.
+In order to support the transition from ``py.path.local`` to :mod:`pathlib`,
+the ``fspath`` argument to :class:`~_pytest.nodes.Node` constructors like
+:func:`pytest.Function.from_parent()` and :func:`pytest.Class.from_parent()`
+is now deprecated.
 
+Plugins which construct nodes should pass the ``path`` argument, of type
+:class:`pathlib.Path`, instead of the ``fspath`` argument.
+
+Plugins which implement custom items and collectors are encouraged to replace
+``fspath`` parameters (``py.path.local``) with ``path`` parameters
+(``pathlib.Path``), and drop any other usage of the ``py`` library if possible.
+
+If possible, plugins with custom items should use :ref:`cooperative
+constructors <uncooperative-constructors-deprecated>` to avoid hardcoding
+arguments they only pass on to the superclass.
+
+.. note::
+    The name of the :class:`~_pytest.nodes.Node` arguments and attributes (the
+    new attribute being ``path``) is **the opposite** of the situation for
+    hooks, :ref:`outlined below <legacy-path-hooks-deprecated>` (the old
+    argument being ``path``).
+
+    This is an unfortunate artifact due to historical reasons, which should be
+    resolved in future versions as we slowly get rid of the :pypi:`py`
+    dependency (see :issue:`9283` for a longer discussion).
+
+Due to the ongoing migration of methods like :meth:`~_pytest.Item.reportinfo`
+which still is expected to return a ``py.path.local`` object, nodes still have
+both ``fspath`` (``py.path.local``) and ``path`` (``pathlib.Path``) attributes,
+no matter what argument was used in the constructor. We expect to deprecate the
+``fspath`` attribute in a future release.
+
+.. _legacy-path-hooks-deprecated:
+
+Configuring hook specs/impls using markers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Before pluggy, pytest's plugin library, was its own package and had a clear API,
+pytest just used ``pytest.mark`` to configure hooks.
+
+The :py:func:`pytest.hookimpl` and :py:func:`pytest.hookspec` decorators
+have been available since years and should be used instead.
+
+.. code-block:: python

+``py.path.local`` arguments for hooks replaced with ``pathlib.Path``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 7.0
+
+In order to support the transition from ``py.path.local`` to :mod:`pathlib`, the following hooks now receive additional arguments:
+
+*  :hook:`pytest_ignore_collect(collection_path: pathlib.Path) <pytest_ignore_collect>` as equivalent to ``path``
+*  :hook:`pytest_collect_file(file_path: pathlib.Path) <pytest_collect_file>` as equivalent to ``path``
+*  :hook:`pytest_pycollect_makemodule(module_path: pathlib.Path) <pytest_pycollect_makemodule>` as equivalent to ``path``
+*  :hook:`pytest_report_header(start_path: pathlib.Path) <pytest_report_header>` as equivalent to ``startdir``
+*  :hook:`pytest_report_collectionfinish(start_path: pathlib.Path) <pytest_report_collectionfinish>` as equivalent to ``startdir``
+
+The accompanying ``py.path.local`` based paths have been deprecated: plugins which manually invoke those hooks should only pass the new ``pathlib.Path`` arguments, and users should change their hook implementations to use the new ``pathlib.Path`` arguments.
+
+.. note::
+    The name of the :class:`~_pytest.nodes.Node` arguments and attributes,
+    :ref:`outlined above <node-ctor-fspath-deprecation>` (the new attribute
+    being ``path``) is **the opposite** of the situation for hooks (the old
+    argument being ``path``).
+
+    This is an unfortunate artifact due to historical reasons, which should be
+    resolved in future versions as we slowly get rid of the :pypi:`py`
+    dependency (see :issue:`9283` for a longer discussion).
+
+Directly constructing internal classes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+

+

+

+Passing ``msg=`` to ``pytest.skip``, ``pytest.fail`` or ``pytest.exit``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 7.0
+
+Passing the keyword argument ``msg`` to :func:`pytest.skip`, :func:`pytest.fail` or :func:`pytest.exit`
+is now deprecated and ``reason`` should be used instead.  This change is to bring consistency between these
+functions and the ``@pytest.mark.skip`` and ``@pytest.mark.xfail`` markers which already accept a ``reason`` argument.
+

+Diamond inheritance between :class:`pytest.Collector` and :class:`pytest.Item`

+
+.. deprecated:: 7.0
+
+Defining a custom pytest node type which is both an :class:`pytest.Item <Item>` and a :class:`pytest.Collector <Collector>` (e.g. :class:`pytest.File <File>`) now issues a warning.
+It was never sanely supported and triggers hard to debug errors.
+
+Some plugins providing linting/code analysis have been using this as a hack.
+Instead, a separate collector node should be used, which collects the item. See
+:ref:`non-python tests` for an example, as well as an `example pr fixing inheritance`_.

+
+
+.. _uncooperative-constructors-deprecated:
+
+Constructors of custom :class:`pytest.Node` subclasses should take ``**kwargs``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 7.0
+
+If custom subclasses of nodes like :class:`pytest.Item` override the
+``__init__`` method, they should take ``**kwargs``. Thus,
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class CustomItem(pytest.Item):
+        def __init__(self, name, parent, additional_arg):
+            super().__init__(name, parent)
+            self.additional_arg = additional_arg
+
+should be turned into:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class CustomItem(pytest.Item):
+        def __init__(self, *, additional_arg, **kwargs):
+            super().__init__(**kwargs)
+            self.additional_arg = additional_arg
+
+to avoid hard-coding the arguments pytest can pass to the superclass.
+See :ref:`non-python tests` for a full example.
+
+For cases without conflicts, no deprecation warning is emitted. For cases with
+conflicts (such as :class:`pytest.File` now taking ``path`` instead of
+``fspath``, as :ref:`outlined above <node-ctor-fspath-deprecation>`), a
+deprecation warning is now raised.

+Returning non-None value in test functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 7.2
+
+A :class:`pytest.PytestReturnNotNoneWarning` is now emitted if a test function returns something other than `None`.
+
+This prevents a common mistake among beginners that expect that returning a `bool` would cause a test to pass or fail, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.mark.parametrize(
+        ["a", "b", "result"],
+        [
+            [1, 2, 5],
+            [2, 3, 8],
+            [5, 3, 18],
+        ],
+    )
+    def test_foo(a, b, result):
+        return foo(a, b) == result
+
+Given that pytest ignores the return value, this might be surprising that it will never fail.
+
+The proper fix is to change the `return` to an `assert`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.mark.parametrize(
+        ["a", "b", "result"],
+        [
+            [1, 2, 5],
+            [2, 3, 8],
