Since pytest now requires Python>=3.7, we can use the stdlib attrs
clone, dataclasses, instead of the OG package.
attrs is still somewhat nicer than dataclasses and has some extra
functionality, but for pytest usage there's not really a justification
IMO to impose the extra dependency on users when a standard alternative
exists.
SetupState maintains its own state, so it can store the exception
itself, instead of using the node's store, which is better avoided when
possible.
This also reduces the lifetime of the reference-cycle-inducing exception
objects which is never a bad thing.
The assertion ensures that when `addfinalizer(finalizer, node)` is
called, the node is in the stack. This then would ensure that the
finalization is actually properly executed properly during the node's
teardown. Anything else indicates something is wrong.
Previous commits fixed all of the tests which previously failed this, so
can be reenabeld now.
When the stack is empty, the finalizers which are supposed to be
attached to nodes in the stack really ought to be empty as well. So the
code here is dead. If this doesn't happen, the assert will trigger.
It is not very clear why this code exists -- we are not running any
unittest or nose code during collection, and really these frameworks
don't have the concept of collection at all, and just raising these
exceptions at e.g. the module level would cause an error. So unless I'm
missing something, I don't think anyone is using this.
Deprecate it so we can eventually clear up this code and keep unittest
more tightly restricted to its plugin.
The type cannot be constructed directly, but is exported for use in type
annotations, since it is reachable through existing public API.
This also documents `from_call` as public, because at least
pytest-forked uses it, so we must treat it as public already anyway.
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.
While working on improving the documentation of the
`pytest_runtest_setup` hook, I came up with this text:
> Called to perform the setup phase of the test item.
>
> The default implementation runs ``setup()`` on item and all of its
> parents (which haven't been setup yet). This includes obtaining the
> values of fixtures required by the item (which haven't been obtained
> yet).
But upon closer inspection I noticed this line at the start of
`SetupState.prepare` (which is what does the actual work for
`pytest_runtest_setup`):
self._teardown_towards(needed_collectors)
which implies that the setup phase of one item might trigger teardowns
of *previous* items. This complicates the simple explanation. It also
seems like a completely undesirable thing to do, because it breaks
isolation between tests -- e.g. a failed teardown of one item shouldn't
cause the failure of some other items just because it happens to run
after it.
So the first thing I tried was to remove that line and see if anything
breaks -- nothing did. At least pytest's own test suite runs fine. So
maybe it's just dead code?
_pytest.timing is an indirection to 'time' functions, which pytest production
code should use instead of 'time' directly.
'mock_timing' is a new fixture which then mocks those functions, allowing us
to write time-reliable tests which run instantly and are not flaky.
This was triggered by recent flaky junitxml tests on Windows related to timing
issues.
