+==========================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#2619 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2619>`_: Resume capturing output after ``continue`` with ``__import__("pdb").set_trace()``.
+
+  This also adds a new ``pytest_leave_pdb`` hook, and passes in ``pdb`` to the
+  existing ``pytest_enter_pdb`` hook.
+
+
+- `#4147 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4147>`_: Add ``-sw``, ``--stepwise`` as an alternative to ``--lf -x`` for stopping at the first failure, but starting the next test invocation from that test.  See `the documentation <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/cache.html#stepwise>`__ for more info.
+
+
+- `#4188 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4188>`_: Make ``--color`` emit colorful dots when not running in verbose mode. Earlier, it would only colorize the test-by-test output if ``--verbose`` was also passed.
+
+
+- `#4225 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4225>`_: Improve performance with collection reporting in non-quiet mode with terminals.
+
+  The "collecting …" message is only printed/updated every 0.5s.
+
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#2701 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2701>`_: Fix false ``RemovedInPytest4Warning: usage of Session... is deprecated, please use pytest`` warnings.
+
+
+- `#4046 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4046>`_: Fix problems with running tests in package ``__init__.py`` files.
+
+
+- `#4260 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4260>`_: Swallow warnings during anonymous compilation of source.
+
+
+- `#4262 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4262>`_: Fix access denied error when deleting stale directories created by ``tmpdir`` / ``tmp_path``.
+
+
+- `#611 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/611>`_: Naming a fixture ``request`` will now raise a warning: the ``request`` fixture is internal and
+  should not be overwritten as it will lead to internal errors.
+
+
+
+Improved Documentation
+----------------------
+
+- `#4255 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4255>`_: Added missing documentation about the fact that module names passed to filter warnings are not regex-escaped.
+
+
+
+Trivial/Internal Changes
+------------------------
+
+- `#4272 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4272>`_: Display cachedir also in non-verbose mode if non-default.
+
+
+- `#4277 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4277>`_: pdb: improve message about output capturing with ``set_trace``.
+
+  Do not display "IO-capturing turned off/on" when ``-s`` is used to avoid
+  confusion.
+
+
+- `#4279 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4279>`_: Improve message and stack level of warnings issued by ``monkeypatch.setenv`` when the value of the environment variable is not a ``str``.
+
+
+pytest 3.9.3 (2018-10-27)
+=========================
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#4174 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4174>`_: Fix "ValueError: Plugin already registered" with conftest plugins via symlink.
+
+
+- `#4181 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4181>`_: Handle race condition between creation and deletion of temporary folders.
+
+
+- `#4221 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4221>`_: Fix bug where the warning summary at the end of the test session was not showing the test where the warning was originated.
+
+
+- `#4243 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4243>`_: Fix regression when ``stacklevel`` for warnings was passed as positional argument on python2.
+
+
+
+Improved Documentation
+----------------------
+
+- `#3851 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3851>`_: Add reference to ``empty_parameter_set_mark`` ini option in documentation of ``@pytest.mark.parametrize``
+
+
+
+Trivial/Internal Changes
+------------------------
+
+- `#4028 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4028>`_: Revert patching of ``sys.breakpointhook`` since it appears to do nothing.
+
+
+- `#4233 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4233>`_: Apply an import sorter (``reorder-python-imports``) to the codebase.
+
+
+- `#4248 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4248>`_: Remove use of unnecessary compat shim, six.binary_type
+
+
+pytest 3.9.2 (2018-10-22)
+=========================
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#2909 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2909>`_: Improve error message when a recursive dependency between fixtures is detected.
+
+
+- `#3340 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3340>`_: Fix logging messages not shown in hooks ``pytest_sessionstart()`` and ``pytest_sessionfinish()``.
+
+
+- `#3533 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3533>`_: Fix unescaped XML raw objects in JUnit report for skipped tests
+
+
+- `#3691 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3691>`_: Python 2: safely format warning message about passing unicode strings to ``warnings.warn``, which may cause
+  surprising ``MemoryError`` exception when monkey patching ``warnings.warn`` itself.
+
+
+- `#4026 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4026>`_: Improve error message when it is not possible to determine a function's signature.
+
+
+- `#4177 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4177>`_: Pin ``setuptools>=40.0`` to support ``py_modules`` in ``setup.cfg``
+
+
+- `#4179 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4179>`_: Restore the tmpdir behaviour of symlinking the current test run.
+
+
+- `#4192 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4192>`_: Fix filename reported by ``warnings.warn`` when using ``recwarn`` under python2.
+
+
+pytest 3.9.1 (2018-10-16)
+=========================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#4159 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4159>`_: For test-suites containing test classes, the information about the subclassed
+  module is now output only if a higher verbosity level is specified (at least
+  "-vv").
+
+
+pytest 3.9.0 (2018-10-15 - not published due to a release automation bug)
+=========================================================================
+
+Deprecations
+------------
+
+- `#3616 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3616>`_: The following accesses have been documented as deprecated for years, but are now actually emitting deprecation warnings.
+
+  * Access of ``Module``, ``Function``, ``Class``, ``Instance``, ``File`` and ``Item`` through ``Node`` instances. Now
+    users will this warning::
+
+          usage of Function.Module is deprecated, please use pytest.Module instead
+
+    Users should just ``import pytest`` and access those objects using the ``pytest`` module.
+
+  * ``request.cached_setup``, this was the precursor of the setup/teardown mechanism available to fixtures. You can
+    consult `funcarg comparison section in the docs <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/funcarg_compare.html>`_.
+
+  * Using objects named ``"Class"`` as a way to customize the type of nodes that are collected in ``Collector``
+    subclasses has been deprecated. Users instead should use ``pytest_collect_make_item`` to customize node types during
+    collection.
+
+    This issue should affect only advanced plugins who create new collection types, so if you see this warning
+    message please contact the authors so they can change the code.
+
+  * The warning that produces the message below has changed to ``RemovedInPytest4Warning``::
+
+          getfuncargvalue is deprecated, use getfixturevalue
+
+
+- `#3988 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3988>`_: Add a Deprecation warning for pytest.ensuretemp as it was deprecated since a while.
+
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#2293 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2293>`_: Improve usage errors messages by hiding internal details which can be distracting and noisy.
+
+  This has the side effect that some error conditions that previously raised generic errors (such as
+  ``ValueError`` for unregistered marks) are now raising ``Failed`` exceptions.
+
+
+- `#3332 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3332>`_: Improve the error displayed when a ``conftest.py`` file could not be imported.
+
+  In order to implement this, a new ``chain`` parameter was added to ``ExceptionInfo.getrepr``
+  to show or hide chained tracebacks in Python 3 (defaults to ``True``).
+
+
+- `#3849 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3849>`_: Add ``empty_parameter_set_mark=fail_at_collect`` ini option for raising an exception when parametrize collects an empty set.
+
+
+- `#3964 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3964>`_: Log messages generated in the collection phase are shown when
+  live-logging is enabled and/or when they are logged to a file.
+
+
+- `#3985 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3985>`_: Introduce ``tmp_path`` as a fixture providing a Path object.
+
+
+- `#4013 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4013>`_: Deprecation warnings are now shown even if you customize the warnings filters yourself. In the previous version
+  any customization would override pytest's filters and deprecation warnings would fall back to being hidden by default.
+
+
+- `#4073 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4073>`_: Allow specification of timeout for ``Testdir.runpytest_subprocess()`` and ``Testdir.run()``.
+
+
+- `#4098 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4098>`_: Add returncode argument to pytest.exit() to exit pytest with a specific return code.
+
+
+- `#4102 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4102>`_: Reimplement ``pytest.deprecated_call`` using ``pytest.warns`` so it supports the ``match='...'`` keyword argument.
+
+  This has the side effect that ``pytest.deprecated_call`` now raises ``pytest.fail.Exception`` instead
+  of ``AssertionError``.
+
+
+- `#4149 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4149>`_: Require setuptools>=30.3 and move most of the metadata to ``setup.cfg``.
+
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#2535 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2535>`_: Improve error message when test functions of ``unittest.TestCase`` subclasses use a parametrized fixture.
+
+
+- `#3057 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3057>`_: ``request.fixturenames`` now correctly returns the name of fixtures created by ``request.getfixturevalue()``.
+
+
+- `#3946 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3946>`_: Warning filters passed as command line options using ``-W`` now take precedence over filters defined in ``ini``
+  configuration files.
+
+
+- `#4066 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4066>`_: Fix source reindenting by using ``textwrap.dedent`` directly.
+
+
+- `#4102 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4102>`_: ``pytest.warn`` will capture previously-warned warnings in Python 2. Previously they were never raised.
+
+
+- `#4108 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4108>`_: Resolve symbolic links for args.
+
+  This fixes running ``pytest tests/test_foo.py::test_bar``, where ``tests``
+  is a symlink to ``project/app/tests``:

+Deprecations and Removals
+-------------------------
+
+- `#4036 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4036>`_: The ``item`` parameter of ``pytest_warning_captured`` hook is now documented as deprecated. We realized only after
+  the ``3.8`` release that this parameter is incompatible with ``pytest-xdist``.
+
+  Our policy is to not deprecate features during bugfix releases, but in this case we believe it makes sense as we are
+  only documenting it as deprecated, without issuing warnings which might potentially break test suites. This will get
+  the word out that hook implementers should not use this parameter at all.
+
+  In a future release ``item`` will always be ``None`` and will emit a proper warning when a hook implementation
+  makes use of it.

+Writing Tests
+----------------------------
+
+Writing tests for plugins or for pytest itself is often done using the `testdir fixture <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/reference.html#testdir>`_, as a "black-box" test.
+
+For example, to ensure a simple test passes you can write:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def test_true_assertion(testdir):
+        testdir.makepyfile(
+            """
+            def test_foo():
+                assert True
+        """
+        )
+        result = testdir.runpytest()
+        result.assert_outcomes(failed=0, passed=1)
+
+
+Alternatively, it is possible to make checks based on the actual output of the termal using
+*glob-like* expressions:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def test_true_assertion(testdir):
+        testdir.makepyfile(
+            """
+            def test_foo():
+                assert False
+        """
+        )
+        result = testdir.runpytest()
+        result.stdout.fnmatch_lines(["*assert False*", "*1 failed*"])
+
+When choosing a file where to write a new test, take a look at the existing files and see if there's
+one file which looks like a good fit. For example, a regression test about a bug in the ``--lf`` option
+should go into ``test_cacheprovider.py``, given that this option is implemented in ``cacheprovider.py``.
+If in doubt, go ahead and open a PR with your best guess and we can discuss this over the code.

doc/en/backwards-compatibility.rst

@@ -7,14 +7,16 @@ Keeping backwards compatibility has a very high priority in the pytest project.
 
 With the pytest 3.0 release we introduced a clear communication scheme for when we will actually remove the old busted joint and politely ask you to use the new hotness instead, while giving you enough time to adjust your tests or raise concerns if there are valid reasons to keep deprecated functionality around.
 
-To communicate changes we are already issuing deprecation warnings, but they are not displayed by default. In pytest 3.0 we changed the default setting so that pytest deprecation warnings are displayed if not explicitly silenced (with ``--disable-pytest-warnings``).
+To communicate changes we issue deprecation warnings using a custom warning hierarchy (see :ref:`internal-warnings`). These warnings may be suppressed using the standard means: ``-W`` command-line flag or ``filterwarnings`` ini options (see :ref:`warnings`), but we suggest to use these sparingly and temporarily, and heed the warnings when possible.
 
-We will only remove deprecated functionality in major releases (e.g. if we deprecate something in 3.0 we will remove it in 4.0), and keep it around for at least two minor releases (e.g. if we deprecate something in 3.9 and 4.0 is the next release, we will not remove it in 4.0 but in 5.0).
+We will only start the removal of deprecated functionality in major releases (e.g. if we deprecate something in 3.0 we will start to remove it in 4.0), and keep it around for at least two minor releases (e.g. if we deprecate something in 3.9 and 4.0 is the next release, we start to remove it in 5.0, not in 4.0).
+
+When the deprecation expires (e.g. 4.0 is released), we won't remove the deprecated functionality immediately, but will use the standard warning filters to turn them into **errors** by default. This approach makes it explicit that removal is imminent, and still gives you time to turn the deprecated feature into a warning instead of an error so it can be dealt with in your own time. In the next minor release (e.g. 4.1), the feature will be effectively removed.
 
 
 Deprecation Roadmap
 -------------------
 
-We track deprecation and removal of features using milestones and the `deprecation <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues?q=label%3A%22type%3A+deprecation%22>`_ and `removal <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/labels/type%3A%20removal>`_ labels on GitHub.
+Features currently deprecated and removed in previous releases can be found in :ref:`deprecations`.
 
-Following our deprecation policy, after starting issuing deprecation warnings we keep features for *at least* two minor versions before considering removal.
+We track future deprecation and removal of features using milestones and the `deprecation <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues?q=label%3A%22type%3A+deprecation%22>`_ and `removal <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/labels/type%3A%20removal>`_ labels on GitHub.

+As an alternative to ``--lf -x``, especially for cases where you expect a large part of the test suite will fail, ``--sw``, ``--stepwise`` allows you to fix them one at a time. The test suite will run until the first failure and then stop. At the next invocation, tests will continue from the last failing test and then run until the next failing test. You may use the ``--stepwise-skip`` option to ignore one failing test and stop the test execution on the second failing test instead. This is useful if you get stuck on a failing test and just want to ignore it until later.

+Access of ``Module``, ``Function``, ``Class``, ``Instance``, ``File`` and ``Item`` through ``Node`` instances now issue
+this warning::
+
+    usage of Function.Module is deprecated, please use pytest.Module instead
+
+Users should just ``import pytest`` and access those objects using the ``pytest`` module.
+
+This has been documented as deprecated for years, but only now we are actually emitting deprecation warnings.
+
+``cached_setup``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.9
+
+``request.cached_setup`` was the precursor of the setup/teardown mechanism available to fixtures.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def db_session():
+        return request.cached_setup(
+            setup=Session.create, teardown=lambda session: session.close(), scope="module"
+        )
+
+This should be updated to make use of standard fixture mechanisms:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.fixture(scope="module")
+    def db_session():
+        session = Session.create()
+        yield session
+        session.close()
+
+
+You can consult `funcarg comparison section in the docs <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/funcarg_compare.html>`_ for
+more information.
+
+This has been documented as deprecated for years, but only now we are actually emitting deprecation warnings.
+
+
+Using ``Class`` in custom Collectors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.9
+
+Using objects named ``"Class"`` as a way to customize the type of nodes that are collected in ``Collector``
+subclasses has been deprecated. Users instead should use ``pytest_pycollect_makeitem`` to customize node types during
+collection.
+
+This issue should affect only advanced plugins who create new collection types, so if you see this warning
+message please contact the authors so they can change the code.
+
+
+``Config.warn`` and ``Node.warn``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.8
+
+Those methods were part of the internal pytest warnings system, but since ``3.8`` pytest is using the builtin warning
+system for its own warnings, so those two functions are now deprecated.
+
+``Config.warn`` should be replaced by calls to the standard ``warnings.warn``, example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    config.warn("C1", "some warning")
+
+Becomes:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    warnings.warn(pytest.PytestWarning("some warning"))
+
+``Node.warn`` now supports two signatures:
+
+* ``node.warn(PytestWarning("some message"))``: is now the **recommended** way to call this function.
+  The warning instance must be a PytestWarning or subclass.
+
+* ``node.warn("CI", "some message")``: this code/message form is now **deprecated** and should be converted to the warning instance form above.
+
+
+``pytest_namespace``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.7
+
+This hook is deprecated because it greatly complicates the pytest internals regarding configuration and initialization, making some
+bug fixes and refactorings impossible.
+
+Example of usage:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class MySymbol:
+        ...
+
+
+    def pytest_namespace():
+        return {"my_symbol": MySymbol()}
+
+
+Plugin authors relying on this hook should instead require that users now import the plugin modules directly (with an appropriate public API).
+
+As a stopgap measure, plugin authors may still inject their names into pytest's namespace, usually during ``pytest_configure``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import pytest
+
+
+    def pytest_configure():
+        pytest.my_symbol = MySymbol()
+
+
+
+Calling fixtures directly
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.7
+
+Calling a fixture function directly, as opposed to request them in a test function, is deprecated.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def cell():
+        return ...
+
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def full_cell():
+        cell = cell()
+        cell.make_full()
+        return cell
+
+This is a great source of confusion to new users, which will often call the fixture functions and request them from test functions interchangeably, which breaks the fixture resolution model.
+
+In those cases just request the function directly in the dependent fixture:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def cell():
+        return ...
+
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def full_cell(cell):
+        cell.make_full()
+        return cell
+
+``Node.get_marker``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.6
+
+As part of a large :ref:`marker-revamp`, :meth:`_pytest.nodes.Node.get_marker` is deprecated. See
+:ref:`the documentation <update marker code>` on tips on how to update your code.
+
+
+record_xml_property
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.5
+
+The ``record_xml_property`` fixture is now deprecated in favor of the more generic ``record_property``, which
+can be used by other consumers (for example ``pytest-html``) to obtain custom information about the test run.
+
+This is just a matter of renaming the fixture as the API is the same:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def test_foo(record_xml_property):
+        ...
+
+Change to:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def test_foo(record_property):
+        ...
+
+pytest_plugins in non-top-level conftest files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.5
+
+Defining ``pytest_plugins`` is now deprecated in non-top-level conftest.py
+files because they will activate referenced plugins *globally*, which is surprising because for all other pytest
+features ``conftest.py`` files are only *active* for tests at or below it.
+
+Metafunc.addcall
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.3
+
+:meth:`_pytest.python.Metafunc.addcall` was a precursor to the current parametrized mechanism. Users should use
+:meth:`_pytest.python.Metafunc.parametrize` instead.
+
+marks in ``pytest.mark.parametrize``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.2
+
+Applying marks to values of a ``pytest.mark.parametrize`` call is now deprecated. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.mark.parametrize(
+        "a, b", [(3, 9), pytest.mark.xfail(reason="flaky")(6, 36), (10, 100)]
+    )
+    def test_foo(a, b):
+        ...
+
+This code applies the ``pytest.mark.xfail(reason="flaky")`` mark to the ``(6, 36)`` value of the above parametrization
+call.
+
+This was considered hard to read and understand, and also its implementation presented problems to the code preventing
+further internal improvements in the marks architecture.
+
+To update the code, use ``pytest.param``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.mark.parametrize(
+        "a, b",
+        [(3, 9), pytest.param((6, 36), marks=pytest.mark.xfail(reason="flaky")), (10, 100)],
+    )
+    def test_foo(a, b):
+        ...
+
+
+
+Passing command-line string to ``pytest.main()``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.0
+
+Passing a command-line string to ``pytest.main()`` is deprecated:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    pytest.main("-v -s")
+
+Pass a list instead:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    pytest.main(["-v", "-s"])
+
+
+By passing a string, users expect that pytest will interpret that command-line using the shell rules they are working
+on (for example ``bash`` or ``Powershell``), but this is very hard/impossible to do in a portable way.
+
+
+``yield`` tests
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.0
+
+pytest supports ``yield``-style tests, where a test function actually ``yield`` functions and values
+that are then turned into proper test methods. Example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def check(x, y):
+        assert x ** x == y
+
+
+    def test_squared():
+        yield check, 2, 4
+        yield check, 3, 9
+
+This would result into two actual test functions being generated.
+
+This form of test function doesn't support fixtures properly, and users should switch to ``pytest.mark.parametrize``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.mark.parametrize("x, y", [(2, 4), (3, 9)])
+    def test_squared(x, y):
+        assert x ** x == y
+
+
+``pytest_funcarg__`` prefix
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.0
+
+In very early pytest versions fixtures could be defined using the ``pytest_funcarg__`` prefix:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def pytest_funcarg__data():
+        return SomeData()
+
+Switch over to the ``@pytest.fixture`` decorator:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def data():
+        return SomeData()
+
+[pytest] section in setup.cfg files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.0
+
+``[pytest]`` sections in ``setup.cfg`` files should now be named ``[tool:pytest]``
+to avoid conflicts with other distutils commands.
+
+Result log (``--result-log``)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.0
+
+The ``--resultlog`` command line option has been deprecated: it is little used
+and there are more modern and better alternatives, for example `pytest-tap <https://tappy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.
+
+Removed Features
+----------------
+
+As stated in our :ref:`backwards-compatibility` policy, deprecated features are removed only in major releases after
+an appropriate period of deprecation has passed.
+
+
+Reinterpretation mode (``--assert=reinterp``)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+*Removed in version 3.0.*
+
+Reinterpretation mode has now been removed and only plain and rewrite
+mode are available, consequently the ``--assert=reinterp`` option is
+no longer available.  This also means files imported from plugins or
+``conftest.py`` will not benefit from improved assertions by
+default, you should use ``pytest.register_assert_rewrite()`` to
+explicitly turn on assertion rewriting for those files.
+
+Removed command-line options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+*Removed in version 3.0.*
+
+The following deprecated commandline options were removed:
+
+* ``--genscript``: no longer supported;
+* ``--no-assert``: use ``--assert=plain`` instead;
+* ``--nomagic``: use ``--assert=plain`` instead;
+* ``--report``: use ``-r`` instead;
+
+py.test-X* entry points
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+*Removed in version 3.0.*
+
+Removed all ``py.test-X*`` entry points. The versioned, suffixed entry points
+were never documented and a leftover from a pre-virtualenv era. These entry
+points also created broken entry points in wheels, so removing them also
+removes a source of confusion for users.

+Flaky tests
+-----------
+
+A "flaky" test is one that exhibits intermittent or sporadic failure, that seems to have non-deterministic behaviour. Sometimes it passes, sometimes it fails, and it's not clear why. This page discusses pytest features that can help and other general strategies for identifying, fixing or mitigating them.
+
+Why flaky tests are a problem
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Flaky tests are particularly troublesome when a continuous integration (CI) server is being used, so that all tests must pass before a new code change can be merged. If the test result is not a reliable signal -- that a test failure means the code change broke the test -- developers can become mistrustful of the test results, which can lead to overlooking genuine failures. It is also a source of wasted time as developers must re-run test suites and investigate spurious failures.
+
+
+Potential root causes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+System state
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Broadly speaking, a flaky test indicates that the test relies on some system state that is not being appropriately controlled - the test environment is not sufficiently isolated. Higher level tests are more likely to be flaky as they rely on more state.
+
+Flaky tests sometimes appear when a test suite is run in parallel (such as use of pytest-xdist). This can indicate a test is reliant on test ordering.
+
+-  Perhaps a different test is failing to clean up after itself and leaving behind data which causes the flaky test to fail.
+- The flaky test is reliant on data from a previous test that doesn't clean up after itself, and in parallel runs that previous test is not always present
+- Tests that modify global state typically cannot be run in parallel.
+
+
+Overly strict assertion
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Overly strict assertions can cause problems with floating point comparison as well as timing issues. `pytest.approx <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/reference.html#pytest-approx>`_ is useful here.
+
+
+Pytest features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Xfail strict
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`pytest.mark.xfail ref` with ``strict=False`` can be used to mark a test so that its failure does not cause the whole build to break. This could be considered like a manual quarantine, and is rather dangerous to use permanently.
+
+
+PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`pytest current test env` may be useful for figuring out "which test got stuck".
+
+
+Plugins
+~~~~~~~
+
+Rerunning any failed tests can mitigate the negative effects of flaky tests by giving them additional chances to pass, so that the overall build does not fail. Several pytest plugins support this:
+
+* `flaky <https://github.com/box/flaky>`_
+* `pytest-flakefinder <https://github.com/dropbox/pytest-flakefinder>`_ - `blog post <https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2016/03/open-sourcing-pytest-tools/>`_
+* `pytest-rerunfailures <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures>`_
+* `pytest-replay <https://github.com/ESSS/pytest-replay>`_: This plugin helps to reproduce locally crashes or flaky tests observed during CI runs.
+
+Plugins to deliberately randomize tests can help expose tests with state problems:
+
+* `pytest-random-order <https://github.com/jbasko/pytest-random-order>`_
+* `pytest-randomly <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-randomly>`_
+
+
+Other general strategies
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Split up test suites
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It can be common to split a single test suite into two, such as unit vs integration, and only use the unit test suite as a CI gate. This also helps keep build times manageable as high level tests tend to be slower. However, it means it does become possible for code that breaks the build to be merged, so extra vigilance is needed for monitoring the integration test results.
+
+
+Video/screenshot on failure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For UI tests these are important for understanding what the state of the UI was when the test failed. pytest-splinter can be used with plugins like pytest-bdd and can `save a screenshot on test failure <https://pytest-splinter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#automatic-screenshots-on-test-failure>`_, which can help to isolate the cause.
+
+
+Delete or rewrite the test
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If the functionality is covered by other tests, perhaps the test can be removed. If not, perhaps it can be rewritten at a lower level which will remove the flakiness or make its source more apparent.
+
+
+Quarantine
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Mark Lapierre discusses the `Pros and Cons of Quarantined Tests <https://dev.to/mlapierre/pros-and-cons-of-quarantined-tests-2emj>`_ in a post from 2018.
+
+
+
+CI tools that rerun on failure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Azure Pipelines (the Azure cloud CI/CD tool, formerly Visual Studio Team Services or VSTS) has a feature to `identify flaky tests <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/release-notes/2017/dec-11-vsts#identify-flaky-tests>`_ and rerun failed tests.

 Temporary directories and files
 ================================================
 
+The ``tmp_path`` fixture
+------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.9
+
+
+You can use the ``tmp_path`` fixture which will
+provide a temporary directory unique to the test invocation,
+created in the `base temporary directory`_.
+
+``tmp_path`` is a ``pathlib/pathlib2.Path`` object. Here is an example test usage:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # content of test_tmp_path.py
+    import os
+
+    CONTENT = u"content"
+
+
+    def test_create_file(tmp_path):
+        d = tmp_path / "sub"
+        d.mkdir()
+        p = d / "hello.txt"
+        p.write_text(CONTENT)
+        assert p.read_text() == CONTENT
+        assert len(list(tmp_path.iterdir())) == 1
+        assert 0
+
+Running this would result in a passed test except for the last
+``assert 0`` line which we use to look at values::

+
+    ======================= no tests ran in 0.12 seconds =======================
+
+The ``-r`` options accepts a number of characters after it, with ``a`` used above meaning "all except passes".
+
+Here is the full list of available characters that can be used:
+
+ - ``f`` - failed
+ - ``E`` - error
+ - ``s`` - skipped
+ - ``x`` - xfailed
+ - ``X`` - xpassed
+ - ``p`` - passed
+ - ``P`` - passed with output

+DeprecationWarning and PendingDeprecationWarning
+------------------------------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.8
+.. versionchanged:: 3.9
+
+By default pytest will display ``DeprecationWarning`` and ``PendingDeprecationWarning`` warnings from
+user code and third-party libraries, as recommended by `PEP-0506 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0565>`_.
+This helps users keep their code modern and avoid breakages when deprecated warnings are effectively removed.
+
+Sometimes it is useful to hide some specific deprecation warnings that happen in code that you have no control over
+(such as third-party libraries), in which case you might use the warning filters options (ini or marks) to ignore
+those warnings.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+    [pytest]
+    filterwarnings =
+        ignore:.*U.*mode is deprecated:DeprecationWarning
+
+
+This will ignore all warnings of type ``DeprecationWarning`` where the start of the message matches
+the regular expression ``".*U.*mode is deprecated"``.
+
+.. note::
+    If warnings are configured at the interpreter level, using
+    the `PYTHONWARNINGS <https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONWARNINGS>`_ environment variable or the
+    ``-W`` command-line option, pytest will not configure any filters by default.
+
+    Also pytest doesn't follow ``PEP-0506`` suggestion of resetting all warning filters because
+    it might break test suites that configure warning filters themselves
+    by calling ``warnings.simplefilter`` (see issue `#2430 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2430>`_
+    for an example of that).
