Change our mypy configuration to disallow untyped defs by default, which ensures *new* files added to the code base are fully typed.
To avoid having to type-annotate everything now, add `# mypy: allow-untyped-defs` to files which are not fully type annotated yet.
As we fully type annotate those modules, we can then just remove that directive from the top.
mypy stubs recently changed warnings.catch_warnings to a Generic, in
order to have proper overloads depending on the parameters passed to it, whihc
triggers this mypy error now when we subclass it:
src/_pytest/recwarn.py:170: error: Missing type parameters for generic type "catch_warnings" [type-arg]
For our porpuses the parameter is not relevant (we always use record=True), so
decided to just ignore the type error.
New Sphinx added support for overloads and always displays them all with
full type annotations etc. This regresses the API reference for
overloaded functions like `fixture()`, `warns()`, `raises()` and friends
to become impossible to read.
I tried various workarounds but none worked except this one.
It's better to have the documentation in one place, instead
of having some in the docstring and some additional
information added to the reference documentation in
`reference.rst`.

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.
This indicates at least for people using type checkers that these
classes are not designed for inheritance and we make no stability
guarantees regarding inheritance of them.
Currently this doesn't show up in the docs. Sphinx does actually support
`@final`, however it only works when imported directly from `typing`,
while we import from `_pytest.compat`.
In the future there might also be a `@sealed` decorator which would
cover some more cases.
This prevents referring to a generic type without filling in its generic
type parameters.
The FixtureDef typing might need some more refining in the future.
