-- If there are any ``.feature.rst`` or ``.breaking.rst`` files in the

-     git fetch --all
-     git branch 7.1.x upstream/main
-     git push upstream 7.1.x
-
-Then, trigger the workflow with the following inputs:

-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.  Providing ``--stepwise-skip`` will also enable ``--stepwise`` implicitly.

@@ -18,237 +18,6 @@ Deprecated Features
 Below is a complete list of all pytest features which are considered deprecated. Using those features will issue
 :class:`PytestWarning` or subclasses, which can be filtered using :ref:`standard warning filters <warnings>`.
 
-.. _instance-collector-deprecation:
-
-The ``pytest.Instance`` collector
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. versionremoved:: 7.0
-
-The ``pytest.Instance`` collector type has been removed.
-
-Previously, Python test methods were collected as :class:`~pytest.Class` -> ``Instance`` -> :class:`~pytest.Function`.
-Now :class:`~pytest.Class` collects the test methods directly.
-
-Most plugins which reference ``Instance`` do so in order to ignore or skip it,
-using a check such as ``if isinstance(node, Instance): return``.
-Such plugins should simply remove consideration of ``Instance`` on pytest>=7.
-However, to keep such uses working, a dummy type has been instanted in ``pytest.Instance`` and ``_pytest.python.Instance``,
-and importing it emits a deprecation warning. This will be removed in pytest 8.
-
-
-.. _node-ctor-fspath-deprecation:
-
-``fspath`` argument for Node constructors replaced with ``pathlib.Path``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-
-In order to support the transition from ``py.path.local`` to :mod:`pathlib`,
-the ``fspath`` argument to :class:`~_pytest.nodes.Node` constructors like
-:func:`pytest.Function.from_parent()` and :func:`pytest.Class.from_parent()`
-is now deprecated.
-
-Plugins which construct nodes should pass the ``path`` argument, of type
-:class:`pathlib.Path`, instead of the ``fspath`` argument.
-
-Plugins which implement custom items and collectors are encouraged to replace
-``fspath`` parameters (``py.path.local``) with ``path`` parameters
-(``pathlib.Path``), and drop any other usage of the ``py`` library if possible.
-
-.. note::
-    The name of the :class:`~_pytest.nodes.Node` arguments and attributes (the
-    new attribute being ``path``) is **the opposite** of the situation for
-    hooks, :ref:`outlined below <legacy-path-hooks-deprecated>` (the old
-    argument being ``path``).
-
-    This is an unfortunate artifact due to historical reasons, which should be
-    resolved in future versions as we slowly get rid of the :pypi:`py`
-    dependency (see :issue:`9283` for a longer discussion).
-
-Due to the ongoing migration of methods like :meth:`~_pytest.Item.reportinfo`
-which still is expected to return a ``py.path.local`` object, nodes still have
-both ``fspath`` (``py.path.local``) and ``path`` (``pathlib.Path``) attributes,
-no matter what argument was used in the constructor. We expect to deprecate the
-``fspath`` attribute in a future release.
-
-.. _legacy-path-hooks-deprecated:
-
-``py.path.local`` arguments for hooks replaced with ``pathlib.Path``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-
-In order to support the transition from ``py.path.local`` to :mod:`pathlib`, the following hooks now receive additional arguments:
-
-*  :func:`pytest_ignore_collect(collection_path: pathlib.Path) <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_ignore_collect>` as equivalent to ``path``
-*  :func:`pytest_collect_file(file_path: pathlib.Path) <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_collect_file>` as equivalent to ``path``
-*  :func:`pytest_pycollect_makemodule(module_path: pathlib.Path) <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_pycollect_makemodule>` as equivalent to ``path``
-*  :func:`pytest_report_header(start_path: pathlib.Path) <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_report_header>` as equivalent to ``startdir``
-*  :func:`pytest_report_collectionfinish(start_path: pathlib.Path) <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_report_collectionfinish>` as equivalent to ``startdir``
-
-The accompanying ``py.path.local`` based paths have been deprecated: plugins which manually invoke those hooks should only pass the new ``pathlib.Path`` arguments, and users should change their hook implementations to use the new ``pathlib.Path`` arguments.
-
-.. note::
-    The name of the :class:`~_pytest.nodes.Node` arguments and attributes,
-    :ref:`outlined above <node-ctor-fspath-deprecation>` (the new attribute
-    being ``path``) is **the opposite** of the situation for hooks (the old

-    resolved in future versions as we slowly get rid of the :pypi:`py`
-    dependency (see :issue:`9283` for a longer discussion).
-
-Directly constructing internal classes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-
-Directly constructing the following classes is now deprecated:
-
-- ``_pytest.mark.structures.Mark``
-- ``_pytest.mark.structures.MarkDecorator``
-- ``_pytest.mark.structures.MarkGenerator``
-- ``_pytest.python.Metafunc``
-- ``_pytest.runner.CallInfo``
-- ``_pytest._code.ExceptionInfo``
-- ``_pytest.config.argparsing.Parser``
-- ``_pytest.config.argparsing.OptionGroup``
-- ``_pytest.pytester.HookRecorder``
-
-These constructors have always been considered private, but now issue a deprecation warning, which may become a hard error in pytest 8.
-
-.. _cmdline-preparse-deprecated:
-
-Passing ``msg=`` to ``pytest.skip``, ``pytest.fail`` or ``pytest.exit``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-
-Passing the keyword argument ``msg`` to :func:`pytest.skip`, :func:`pytest.fail` or :func:`pytest.exit`
-is now deprecated and ``reason`` should be used instead.  This change is to bring consistency between these
-functions and the``@pytest.mark.skip`` and ``@pytest.mark.xfail`` markers which already accept a ``reason`` argument.

-
-Implementing the :func:`pytest_cmdline_preparse <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_cmdline_preparse>` hook has been officially deprecated.

-.. _diamond-inheritance-deprecated:
-
-Diamond inheritance between :class:`pytest.Collector` and :class:`pytest.Item`
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-
-Defining a custom pytest node type which is both an :class:`pytest.Item <Item>` and a :class:`pytest.Collector <Collector>` (e.g. :class:`pytest.File <File>`) now issues a warning.
-It was never sanely supported and triggers hard to debug errors.
-
-Some plugins providing linting/code analysis have been using this as a hack.
-Instead, a separate collector node should be used, which collects the item. See
-:ref:`non-python tests` for an example, as well as an `example pr fixing inheritance`_.
-
-.. _example pr fixing inheritance: https://github.com/asmeurer/pytest-flakes/pull/40/files
-
-
-Backward compatibilities in ``Parser.addoption``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 2.4
-
-Several behaviors of :meth:`Parser.addoption <pytest.Parser.addoption>` are now
-scheduled for removal in pytest 8 (deprecated since pytest 2.4.0):
-
-- ``parser.addoption(..., help=".. %default ..")`` - use ``%(default)s`` instead.
-- ``parser.addoption(..., type="int/string/float/complex")`` - use ``type=int`` etc. instead.
-
-
-Raising ``unittest.SkipTest`` during collection
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-
-Raising :class:`unittest.SkipTest` to skip collection of tests during the
-pytest collection phase is deprecated. Use :func:`pytest.skip` instead.
-
-Note: This deprecation only relates to using `unittest.SkipTest` during test
-collection. You are probably not doing that. Ordinary usage of
-:class:`unittest.SkipTest` / :meth:`unittest.TestCase.skipTest` /
-:func:`unittest.skip` in unittest test cases is fully supported.
-
-Using ``pytest.warns(None)``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-
-:func:`pytest.warns(None) <pytest.warns>` is now deprecated because many people used
-it to mean "this code does not emit warnings", but it actually had the effect of
-checking that the code emits at least one warning of any type - like ``pytest.warns()``
-or ``pytest.warns(Warning)``.
-
-
-The ``--strict`` command-line option
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 6.2
-
-The ``--strict`` command-line option has been deprecated in favor of ``--strict-markers``, which
-better conveys what the option does.
-
-We have plans to maybe in the future to reintroduce ``--strict`` and make it an encompassing
-flag for all strictness related options (``--strict-markers`` and ``--strict-config``
-at the moment, more might be introduced in the future).
-
-
-The ``yield_fixture`` function/decorator
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-.. deprecated:: 6.2
-
-``pytest.yield_fixture`` is a deprecated alias for :func:`pytest.fixture`.
-
-It has been so for a very long time, so can be search/replaced safely.

-Alternatives
-------------
-
-While the built-in pytest support provides a good set of functionalities for using
-doctests, if you use them extensively you might be interested in those external packages
-which add many more features, and include pytest integration:
-
-* `pytest-doctestplus <https://github.com/astropy/pytest-doctestplus>`__: provides
-  advanced doctest support and enables the testing of reStructuredText (".rst") files.
-
-* `Sybil <https://sybil.readthedocs.io>`__: provides a way to test examples in
-  your documentation by parsing them from the documentation source and evaluating
-  the parsed examples as part of your normal test run.

-Anatomy of a test
-=================
-
-In the simplest terms, a test is meant to look at the result of a particular
-behavior, and make sure that result aligns with what you would expect.
-Behavior is not something that can be empirically measured, which is why writing
-tests can be challenging.
-
-"Behavior" is the way in which some system **acts in response** to a particular
-situation and/or stimuli. But exactly *how* or *why* something is done is not
-quite as important as *what* was done.
-
-You can think of a test as being broken down into four steps:
-
-1. **Arrange**
-2. **Act**
-3. **Assert**
-4. **Cleanup**
-
-**Arrange** is where we prepare everything for our test. This means pretty
-much everything except for the "**act**". It's lining up the dominoes so that
-the **act** can do its thing in one, state-changing step. This can mean
-preparing objects, starting/killing services, entering records into a database,
-or even things like defining a URL to query, generating some credentials for a
-user that doesn't exist yet, or just waiting for some process to finish.
-
-**Act** is the singular, state-changing action that kicks off the **behavior**
-we want to test. This behavior is what carries out the changing of the state of
-the system under test (SUT), and it's the resulting changed state that we can
-look at to make a judgement about the behavior. This typically takes the form of
-a function/method call.
-
-**Assert** is where we look at that resulting state and check if it looks how
-we'd expect after the dust has settled. It's where we gather evidence to say the
-behavior does or does not aligns with what we expect. The ``assert`` in our test
-is where we take that measurement/observation and apply our judgement to it. If
-something should be green, we'd say ``assert thing == "green"``.
-
-**Cleanup** is where the test picks up after itself, so other tests aren't being
-accidentally influenced by it.
-
-At its core, the test is ultimately the **act** and **assert** steps, with the
-**arrange** step only providing the context. **Behavior** exists between **act**
-and **assert**.

-.. _about-fixtures:
-
-About fixtures
-===============
-
-.. seealso:: :ref:`how-to-fixtures`
-.. seealso:: :ref:`Fixtures reference <reference-fixtures>`
-
-pytest fixtures are designed to be explicit, modular and scalable.
-
-What fixtures are
------------------
-
-In testing, a `fixture <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_fixture#Software>`_
-provides a defined, reliable and consistent context for the tests. This could
-include environment (for example a database configured with known parameters)
-or content (such as a dataset).
-
-Fixtures define the steps and data that constitute the *arrange* phase of a
-test (see :ref:`test-anatomy`). In pytest, they are functions you define that
-serve this purpose. They can also be used to define a test's *act* phase; this
-is a powerful technique for designing more complex tests.
-
-The services, state, or other operating environments set up by fixtures are
-accessed by test functions through arguments. For each fixture used by a test
-function there is typically a parameter (named after the fixture) in the test
-function's definition.
-
-We can tell pytest that a particular function is a fixture by decorating it with
-:py:func:`@pytest.fixture <pytest.fixture>`. Here's a simple example of
-what a fixture in pytest might look like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    import pytest
-
-
-    class Fruit:
-        def __init__(self, name):
-            self.name = name
-
-        def __eq__(self, other):
-            return self.name == other.name
-
-
-    @pytest.fixture
-    def my_fruit():
-        return Fruit("apple")
-
-
-    @pytest.fixture
-    def fruit_basket(my_fruit):
-        return [Fruit("banana"), my_fruit]
-
-
-    def test_my_fruit_in_basket(my_fruit, fruit_basket):
-        assert my_fruit in fruit_basket
-
-Tests don't have to be limited to a single fixture, either. They can depend on
-as many fixtures as you want, and fixtures can use other fixtures, as well. This
-is where pytest's fixture system really shines.
-
-
-Improvements over xUnit-style setup/teardown functions
------------------------------------------------------------
-
-pytest fixtures offer dramatic improvements over the classic xUnit
-style of setup/teardown functions:
-
-* fixtures have explicit names and are activated by declaring their use
-  from test functions, modules, classes or whole projects.
-
-* fixtures are implemented in a modular manner, as each fixture name
-  triggers a *fixture function* which can itself use other fixtures.
-
-* fixture management scales from simple unit to complex
-  functional testing, allowing to parametrize fixtures and tests according
-  to configuration and component options, or to re-use fixtures
-  across function, class, module or whole test session scopes.
-
-* teardown logic can be easily, and safely managed, no matter how many fixtures
-  are used, without the need to carefully handle errors by hand or micromanage
-  the order that cleanup steps are added.
-
-In addition, pytest continues to support :ref:`xunitsetup`.  You can mix
-both styles, moving incrementally from classic to new style, as you
-prefer.  You can also start out from existing :ref:`unittest.TestCase
-style <unittest.TestCase>` or :ref:`nose based <nosestyle>` projects.
-
-
-
-Fixture errors
---------------
-
-pytest does its best to put all the fixtures for a given test in a linear order
-so that it can see which fixture happens first, second, third, and so on. If an
-earlier fixture has a problem, though, and raises an exception, pytest will stop
-executing fixtures for that test and mark the test as having an error.
-
-When a test is marked as having an error, it doesn't mean the test failed,
-though. It just means the test couldn't even be attempted because one of the
-things it depends on had a problem.
-
-This is one reason why it's a good idea to cut out as many unnecessary
-dependencies as possible for a given test. That way a problem in something
-unrelated isn't causing us to have an incomplete picture of what may or may not
-have issues.
-
-Here's a quick example to help explain:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    import pytest
-
-
-    @pytest.fixture
-    def order():
-        return []
-
-
-    @pytest.fixture
-    def append_first(order):
-        order.append(1)
-
-
-    @pytest.fixture
-    def append_second(order, append_first):
-        order.extend([2])
-
-
-    @pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
-    def append_third(order, append_second):
-        order += [3]
-
-
-    def test_order(order):
-        assert order == [1, 2, 3]
-
-
-If, for whatever reason, ``order.append(1)`` had a bug and it raises an exception,
-we wouldn't be able to know if ``order.extend([2])`` or ``order += [3]`` would
-also have problems. After ``append_first`` throws an exception, pytest won't run
-any more fixtures for ``test_order``, and it won't even try to run
-``test_order`` itself. The only things that would've run would be ``order`` and
-``append_first``.
-
-
-Sharing test data
------------------
-
-If you want to make test data from files available to your tests, a good way
-to do this is by loading these data in a fixture for use by your tests.
-This makes use of the automatic caching mechanisms of pytest.
-
-Another good approach is by adding the data files in the ``tests`` folder.
-There are also community plugins available to help to manage this aspect of
-testing, e.g. :pypi:`pytest-datadir` and :pypi:`pytest-datafiles`.
-
-.. _fixtures-signal-cleanup:
-
-A note about fixture cleanup
-----------------------------
-
-pytest does not do any special processing for :data:`SIGTERM <signal.SIGTERM>` and
-:data:`SIGQUIT <signal.SIGQUIT>` signals (:data:`SIGINT <signal.SIGINT>` is handled naturally
-by the Python runtime via :class:`KeyboardInterrupt`), so fixtures that manage external resources which are important
-to be cleared when the Python process is terminated (by those signals) might leak resources.
-
-The reason pytest does not handle those signals to perform fixture cleanup is that signal handlers are global,
-and changing them might interfere with the code under execution.
-
-If fixtures in your suite need special care regarding termination in those scenarios,
-see :issue:`this comment <5243#issuecomment-491522595>` in the issue
-tracker for a possible workaround.

-History
-=======
-
-pytest has a long and interesting history. The `first commit
-<https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/commit/5992a8ef21424d7571305a8d7e2a3431ee7e1e23>`__
-in this repository is from January 2007, and even that commit alone already
-tells a lot: The repository originally was from the :pypi:`py`
-library (later split off to pytest), and it
-originally was a SVN revision, migrated to Mercurial, and finally migrated to
-git.
-
-However, the commit says “create the new development trunk” and is
-already quite big: *435 files changed, 58640 insertions(+)*. This is because
-pytest originally was born as part of `PyPy <https://www.pypy.org/>`__, to make
-it easier to write tests for it. Here's how it evolved from there to its own
-project:
-
-
--  Late 2002 / early 2003, `PyPy was
-   born <https://morepypy.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-first-15-years-of-pypy.html>`__.
--  Like that blog post mentioned, from very early on, there was a big
-   focus on testing. There were various ``testsupport`` files on top of
-   unittest.py, and as early as June 2003, Holger Krekel (:user:`hpk42`)
-   `refactored <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2003-June/000787.html>`__
-   its test framework to clean things up (``pypy.tool.test``, but still
-   on top of ``unittest.py``, with nothing pytest-like yet).
--  In December 2003, there was `another
-   iteration <https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/-/commit/02752373e1b29d89c6bb0a97e5f940caa22bdd63>`__
-   at improving their testing situation, by Stefan Schwarzer, called
-   ``pypy.tool.newtest``.
--  However, it didn’t seem to be around for long, as around June/July
-   2004, efforts started on a thing called ``utest``, offering plain
-   assertions. This seems like the start of something pytest-like, but
-   unfortunately, it's unclear where the test runner's code was at the time.
-   The closest thing still around is `this
-   file <https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/-/commit/0735f9ed287ec20950a7dd0a16fc10810d4f6847>`__,
-   but that doesn’t seem like a complete test runner at all. What can be seen
-   is that there were `various
-   efforts <https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/-/commits/branch/default?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=utest>`__
-   by Laura Creighton and Samuele Pedroni (:user:`pedronis`) at automatically
-   converting existing tests to the new ``utest`` framework.
--  Around the same time, for Europython 2004, @hpk42 `started a
-   project <http://web.archive.org/web/20041020215353/http://codespeak.net/svn/user/hpk/talks/std-talk.txt>`__
-   originally called “std”, intended to be a “complementary standard
-   library” - already laying out the principles behind what later became
-   pytest:
-
-       -  current “batteries included” are very useful, but
-
-          -  some of them are written in a pretty much java-like style,
-             especially the unittest-framework
-          -  […]
-          -  the best API is one that doesn’t exist
-
-       […]
-
-       -  a testing package should require as few boilerplate code as
-          possible and offer much flexibility
-       -  it should provide premium quality tracebacks and debugging aid
-
-       […]
-
-       -  first of all … forget about limited “assertXYZ APIs” and use the
-          real thing, e.g.::
-
-              assert x == y
-
-       -  this works with plain python but you get unhelpful “assertion
-          failed” errors with no information
-
-       -  std.utest (magic!) actually reinterprets the assertion expression
-          and offers detailed information about underlying values
-
--  In September 2004, the ``py-dev`` mailinglist gets born, which `is
-   now <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pytest-dev/>`__ ``pytest-dev``,
-   but thankfully with all the original archives still intact.
-
--  Around September/October 2004, the ``std`` project `was renamed
-   <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2004-September/001565.html>`__ to
-   ``py`` and ``std.utest`` became ``py.test``. This is also the first time the
-   `entire source
-   code <https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/-/commit/42cf50c412026028e20acd23d518bd92e623ac11>`__,
-   seems to be available, with much of the API still being around today:
-
-   -  ``py.path.local``, which is being phased out of pytest (in favour of
-      pathlib) some 16-17 years later
-   -  The idea of the collection tree, including ``Collector``,
-      ``FSCollector``, ``Directory``, ``PyCollector``, ``Module``,
-      ``Class``
-   -  Arguments like ``-x`` / ``--exitfirst``, ``-l`` /
-      ``--showlocals``, ``--fulltrace``, ``--pdb``, ``-S`` /
-      ``--nocapture`` (``-s`` / ``--capture=off`` today),
-      ``--collectonly`` (``--collect-only`` today)
-
--  In the same month, the ``py`` library `gets split off
-   <https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/-/commit/6bdafe9203ad92eb259270b267189141c53bce33>`__
-   from ``PyPy``
-
--  It seemed to get rather quiet for a while, and little seemed to happen
-   between October 2004 (removing ``py`` from PyPy) and January
-   2007 (first commit in the now-pytest repository). However, there were
-   various discussions about features/ideas on the mailinglist, and

-

-
--  In August 2016, pytest 3.0.0 :std:ref:`was released <release-3.0.0>`,
-   which adds ``pytest`` (rather than ``py.test``) as the recommended
-   command-line entry point
-
-Due to this history, it's diffcult to answer the question when pytest was started.
-It depends what point should really be seen as the start of it all. One
-possible interpretation is to  pick Europython 2004, i.e. around June/July
-2004.
