(Written for a Unix system, but might be applicable to Windows as well).
pytest creates a root temporary directory under /tmp, named
`pytest-of-<username>`, and creates tmp_path's and other under it.
/tmp is shared between all users of the system.
This root temporary directory was created with 0o777&~umask permissions,
which usually becomes 0o755, meaning any user in the system could list
and read the files, which is undesirable.
Use 0o700 permissions instead. Also for subdirectories, because the root
dir is adjustable.
When pytest was run on a directory containing a recursive symlink it failed
with ELOOP as the library was not able to determine the type of the
direntry:
src/_pytest/main.py:685: in collect
if not direntry.is_file():
E OSError: [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: '/home/florian/proj/pytest/tests/recursive'
This is fixed by handling ELOOP and other errors in the visit function in
pathlib.py, so the entries whose is_file() call raises an OSError with the
pre-defined list of error numbers will be exluded from the result.
The _ignore_errors function was copied from Lib/pathlib.py of cpython 3.9.
Fixes#7951
Didn't call it absolute or absolute_path to avoid conflicts with
possible variable names.
Didn't call it abspath to avoid confusion with os.path.abspath.
This makes mypy raise an error whenever it detects code which is
statically unreachable, e.g.
x: int
if isinstance(x, str):
... # Statement is unreachable [unreachable]
This is really neat and finds quite a few logic and typing bugs.
Sometimes the code is intentionally unreachable in terms of types, e.g.
raising TypeError when a function is given an argument with a wrong
type. In these cases a `type: ignore[unreachable]` is needed, but I
think it's a nice code hint.
`os.scandir()`, introduced in Python 3.5, is much faster than
`os.listdir()`. See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0471/.
It also has a `DirEntry` which can be used to further reduce syscalls in
some cases.
Part of reducing dependency on `py`. Also enables upcoming improvements.
In cases where there are simpler alternatives (in tests), I used those.
What's left are a couple of uses in `_pytest.main` and `_pytest.python`
and they only have modest requirements, so all of the featureful code
from py is not needed.
* Update setup.py requires and classifiers
* Drop Python 2.7 and 3.4 from CI
* Update docs dropping 2.7 and 3.4 support
* Fix mock imports and remove tests related to pypi's mock module
* Add py27 and 34 support docs to the sidebar
* Remove usage of six from tmpdir
* Remove six.PY* code blocks
* Remove sys.version_info related code
* Cleanup compat
* Remove obsolete safe_str
* Remove obsolete __unicode__ methods
* Remove compat.PY35 and compat.PY36: not really needed anymore
* Remove unused UNICODE_TYPES
* Remove Jython specific code
* Remove some Python 2 references from docs
