This hook has some functionality to provide explicit markup for the test
status. It seemed unused and wasn't tested, so I was tempted to remove
it, but I found that the pytest-rerunfailures plugin uses it, so
document it and add a test instead.
Use `testdir.syspathinsert()` with multiprocessing tests:
- test_chained_exceptions_no_reprcrash
- test_exception_handling_no_traceback
This only works currently because `_importtestmodule` changes `sys.path`
as a side-effect.
It appears to be only required on Windows though - likely due to the
multiprocessing method used there.
This changes the link anchors in "reference.html", from e.g.
`reference.html#pytest-current-test` to
`reference.html#envvar-PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST`, but I think that is OK, and
not worth adding labels for the old anchors.
twisted started to use `attr.s(eq)` argument which was added recently,
so it fails with oldattrs. One of the CI jobs ran twisted and oldattrs
together, so it started to fail.
Move the twisted code to be covered by another job, and remove it from
the job with the oldattrs.
Previously, writing to sys.stdout/stderr in text-mode (e.g.
`print('foo')`) while a `capsysbinary` fixture is active, would crash
with:
/usr/lib/python3.7/contextlib.py:119: in __exit__
next(self.gen)
E TypeError: write() argument must be str, not bytes
This is due to some confusion in the types. The relevant functions are
`snap()` and `writeorg()`. The function `snap()` returns what was
captured, and the return type should be `bytes` for the binary captures
and `str` for the regular ones. The `snap()` return value is eventually
passed to `writeorg()` to be written to the original file, so it's input
type should correspond to `snap()`. But this was incorrect for
`SysCaptureBinary`, which handled it like `str`.
To fix this, be explicit in the `snap()` and `writeorg()`
implementations, also of the other Capture types.
We can't add type annotations yet, because the current inheritance
scheme breaks Liskov Substitution and mypy would complain. To be
refactored later.

I tried to understand what the `safe_text_dupfile()` function and
`EncodedFile` class do. Outside tests, `EncodedFile` is only used by
`safe_text_dupfile`, and `safe_text_dupfile` is only used by
`FDCaptureBinary.__init__()`. I then started to eliminate always-true
conditions based on the single call site, and in the end nothing was
left except of a couple workarounds that are still needed.
