This option checks even functions which are not annotated. It's a good
step to ensure that existing type annotation are correct.
In a Pareto fashion, the last few holdouts are always the ugliest,
beware.
This makes a difference for e.g. pytest-xdist:
Before:
```
--dist=distmode set mode for distributing tests to exec environments. each: …
available environment. loadscope: …
grouped by file to any available environment. (default) no: …
```
After:
```
--dist=distmode set mode for distributing tests to exec environments.
each: send each test to all available environments.
load: load balance by sending any pending test to any available environment.
…
(default) no: run tests inprocess, don't distribute.
```
This might also result in unexpected changes (hard wrapping), when line
endings where used unintentionally, e.g. with:
```
help="""
some long
help text
"""
```
But the benefits from that are worth it, and it is easy to fix, as will
be done for the internal `assertmode` option.
The default message is often hard to read:
E _pytest.config.ConftestImportFailure: (local('D:\\projects\\pytest\\.tmp\\root\\foo\\conftest.py'), (<class 'RuntimeError'>, RuntimeError('some error',), <traceback object at 0x000001CCC3E39348>))
Using a shorter message is better:
E _pytest.config.ConftestImportFailure: RuntimeError: some error (from D:\projects\pytest\.tmp\root\foo\conftest.py)
And we don't really lose any information due to exception chaining.
This removes the KeyError from the traceback chain when an
conftest fails to import:
return self._conftestpath2mod[key]
E KeyError: WindowsPath('D:/projects/pytest/.tmp/root/foo/conftest.py')
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
...
raise RuntimeError("some error")
E RuntimeError: some error
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
...
E _pytest.config.ConftestImportFailure: (...)
By slightly changing the code, we can remove the first chain, which is often
very confusing to users and doesn't help with anything.
Fix#7223
Running `pytest | head -1` and similar causes an annoying error to be
printed to stderr:
Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdout>' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'>
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
(or possibly even a propagating exception in older/other Python versions).
The standard UNIX behavior is to handle the EPIPE silently. To
recommended method to do this in Python is described here:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/signal.html#note-on-sigpipe
It is not appropriate to apply this recommendation to `pytest.main()`,
which is used programmatically for in-process runs. Hence, change
pytest's entrypoint to a new `pytest.console_main()` function, to be
used exclusively by pytest's CLI, and add the SIGPIPE code there.
Fixes#4375.
