@@ -16,387 +16,31 @@ Deprecated Features
 -------------------
 
 Below is a complete list of all pytest features which are considered deprecated. Using those features will issue
-:class:`~pytest.PytestWarning` or subclasses, which can be filtered using :ref:`standard warning filters <warnings>`.
-
-
-.. _nose-deprecation:
-
-Support for tests written for nose
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.2
-
-Support for running tests written for `nose <https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ is now deprecated.
-
-``nose`` has been in maintenance mode-only for years, and maintaining the plugin is not trivial as it spills
-over the code base (see :issue:`9886` for more details).
-
-setup/teardown
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-One thing that might catch users by surprise is that plain ``setup`` and ``teardown`` methods are not pytest native,
-they are in fact part of the ``nose`` support.
-
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class Test:
-        def setup(self):
-            self.resource = make_resource()
-
-        def teardown(self):
-            self.resource.close()
-
-        def test_foo(self):
-            ...
-
-        def test_bar(self):
-            ...
-
-
-
-Native pytest support uses ``setup_method`` and ``teardown_method`` (see :ref:`xunit-method-setup`), so the above should be changed to:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class Test:
-        def setup_method(self):
-            self.resource = make_resource()
-
-        def teardown_method(self):
-            self.resource.close()
-
-        def test_foo(self):
-            ...
-
-        def test_bar(self):
-            ...
-
-
-This is easy to do in an entire code base by doing a simple find/replace.
-
-@with_setup
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Code using `@with_setup <with-setup-nose>`_ such as this:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from nose.tools import with_setup
-
-
-    def setup_some_resource():
-        ...
-
-
-    def teardown_some_resource():
-        ...
-
-
-    @with_setup(setup_some_resource, teardown_some_resource)
-    def test_foo():
-        ...
-
-Will also need to be ported to a supported pytest style. One way to do it is using a fixture:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    import pytest
-
-
-    def setup_some_resource():
-        ...
-
-
-    def teardown_some_resource():
-        ...
-
-
-    @pytest.fixture
-    def some_resource():
-        setup_some_resource()
-        yield
-        teardown_some_resource()
-
-
-    def test_foo(some_resource):
-        ...
-
-
-.. _`with-setup-nose`: https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/testing_tools.html?highlight=with_setup#nose.tools.with_setup
-
-.. _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.
-
-If possible, plugins with custom items should use :ref:`cooperative
-constructors <uncooperative-constructors-deprecated>` to avoid hardcoding
-arguments they only pass on to the superclass.
-
-.. 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:
-
-Configuring hook specs/impls using markers
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Before pluggy, pytest's plugin library, was its own package and had a clear API,
-pytest just used ``pytest.mark`` to configure hooks.
-
-The :py:func:`pytest.hookimpl` and :py:func:`pytest.hookspec` decorators
-have been available since years and should be used instead.

 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.

+``Node.fspath`` in favor of ``pathlib`` and ``Node.path``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-Directly constructing internal classes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. deprecated:: 6.3
 
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
+As pytest tries to move off `py.path.local <https://py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/path.html>`__ we ported most of the node internals to :mod:`pathlib`.
 
-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.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def test_fail_example():
-        # old

-
-
-Implementing the ``pytest_cmdline_preparse`` hook
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-
-Implementing the :hook:`pytest_cmdline_preparse` hook has been officially deprecated.
-Implement the :hook:`pytest_load_initial_conftests` hook instead.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def pytest_cmdline_preparse(config: Config, args: List[str]) -> None:
-        ...
-
-
-    # becomes:

-
-.. _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` and a :class:`~pytest.Collector` (e.g. :class:`~pytest.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
-
-
-.. _uncooperative-constructors-deprecated:
-
-Constructors of custom :class:`~_pytest.nodes.Node` subclasses should take ``**kwargs``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-
-If custom subclasses of nodes like :class:`pytest.Item` override the
-``__init__`` method, they should take ``**kwargs``. Thus,
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class CustomItem(pytest.Item):
-        def __init__(self, name, parent, additional_arg):
-            super().__init__(name, parent)
-            self.additional_arg = additional_arg
-
-should be turned into:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class CustomItem(pytest.Item):
-        def __init__(self, *, additional_arg, **kwargs):
-            super().__init__(**kwargs)
-            self.additional_arg = additional_arg
-
-to avoid hard-coding the arguments pytest can pass to the superclass.
-See :ref:`non-python tests` for a full example.
-
-For cases without conflicts, no deprecation warning is emitted. For cases with
-conflicts (such as :class:`pytest.File` now taking ``path`` instead of
-``fspath``, as :ref:`outlined above <node-ctor-fspath-deprecation>`), a
-deprecation warning is now raised.
-
-Applying a mark to a fixture function
--------------------------------------
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.4
-
-Applying a mark to a fixture function never had any effect, but it is a common user error.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    @pytest.mark.usefixtures("clean_database")
-    @pytest.fixture
-    def user() -> User:
-        ...
-
-Users expected in this case that the ``usefixtures`` mark would have its intended effect of using the ``clean_database`` fixture when ``user`` was invoked, when in fact it has no effect at all.
-
-Now pytest will issue a warning when it encounters this problem, and will raise an error in the future versions.
+Pytest will provide compatibility for quite a while.

+Raising ``unittest.SkipTest`` during collection
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
+.. deprecated:: 6.3
 
-:func:`pytest.warns(None) <pytest.warns>` is now deprecated because it was frequently misused.
-Its correct usage was checking that the code emits at least one warning of any type - like ``pytest.warns()``
-or ``pytest.warns(Warning)``.
+Raising :class:`unittest.SkipTest` to skip collection of tests during the
+pytest collection phase is deprecated. Use :func:`pytest.skip` instead.

-
-Returning non-None value in test functions
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.2
-
-A :class:`pytest.PytestReturnNotNoneWarning` is now emitted if a test function returns something other than `None`.
-
-This prevents a common mistake among beginners that expect that returning a `bool` would cause a test to pass or fail, for example:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    @pytest.mark.parametrize(
-        ["a", "b", "result"],
-        [
-            [1, 2, 5],

-        ],
-    )
-    def test_foo(a, b, result):
-        return foo(a, b) == result
-
-Given that pytest ignores the return value, this might be surprising that it will never fail.
-
-The proper fix is to change the `return` to an `assert`:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    @pytest.mark.parametrize(
-        ["a", "b", "result"],
-        [
-            [1, 2, 5],

-        ],
-    )
-    def test_foo(a, b, result):
-        assert foo(a, b) == result
+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` /

-As stated in our :ref:`backwards-compatibility` policy, deprecated features are removed only in major releases after
-an appropriate period of deprecation has passed.
+.. deprecated:: 6.0
 
-Some breaking changes which could not be deprecated are also listed.

-
-Collection changes in pytest 8
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Added a new :class:`pytest.Directory` base collection node, which all collector nodes for filesystem directories are expected to subclass.
-This is analogous to the existing :class:`pytest.File` for file nodes.
-
-Changed :class:`pytest.Package` to be a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
-A ``Package`` represents a filesystem directory which is a Python package,
-i.e. contains an ``__init__.py`` file.
-
-:class:`pytest.Package` now only collects files in its own directory; previously it collected recursively.
-Sub-directories are collected as sub-collector nodes, thus creating a collection tree which mirrors the filesystem hierarchy.
-
-:attr:`session.name <pytest.Session.name>` is now ``""``; previously it was the rootdir directory name.
-This matches :attr:`session.nodeid <_pytest.nodes.Node.nodeid>` which has always been `""`.
-
-Added a new :class:`pytest.Dir` concrete collection node, a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
-This node represents a filesystem directory, which is not a :class:`pytest.Package`,
-i.e. does not contain an ``__init__.py`` file.
-Similarly to ``Package``, it only collects the files in its own directory,
-while collecting sub-directories as sub-collector nodes.
-
-Files and directories are now collected in alphabetical order jointly, unless changed by a plugin.
-Previously, files were collected before directories.
-
-The collection tree now contains directories/packages up to the :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>`,
-for initial arguments that are found within the rootdir.
-For files outside the rootdir, only the immediate directory/package is collected --
-note however that collecting from outside the rootdir is discouraged.
-
-As an example, given the following filesystem tree::
-
-    myroot/
-        pytest.ini
-        top/
-        ├── aaa
-        │   └── test_aaa.py

-        └── zzz
-            ├── __init__.py
-            └── test_zzz.py
-
-the collection tree, as shown by `pytest --collect-only top/` but with the otherwise-hidden :class:`~pytest.Session` node added for clarity,

-The ``Package`` collector node designates a Python package, that is, a directory with an `__init__.py` file.
-Previously ``Package`` was a subtype of ``pytest.Module`` (which represents a single Python module),
-the module being the `__init__.py` file.
-This has been deemed a design mistake (see :issue:`11137` and :issue:`7777` for details).
-
-The ``path`` property of ``Package`` nodes now points to the package directory instead of the ``__init__.py`` file.
-
-Note that a ``Module`` node for ``__init__.py`` (which is not a ``Package``) may still exist,
-if it is picked up during collection (e.g. if you configured :confval:`python_files` to include ``__init__.py`` files).

-Running `pytest pkg/__init__.py` now collects the `pkg/__init__.py` file (module) only.
-Previously, it collected the entire `pkg` package, including other test files in the directory, but excluding tests in the `__init__.py` file itself
-(unless :confval:`python_files` was changed to allow `__init__.py` file).
-
-To collect the entire package, specify just the directory: `pytest pkg`.

-
-Using a custom directory collector
-====================================================
-
-By default, pytest collects directories using :class:`pytest.Package`, for directories with ``__init__.py`` files,
-and :class:`pytest.Dir` for other directories.
-If you want to customize how a directory is collected, you can write your own :class:`pytest.Directory` collector,
-and use :hook:`pytest_collect_directory` to hook it up.
-
-.. _`directory manifest plugin`:
-
-A basic example for a directory manifest file
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Suppose you want to customize how collection is done on a per-directory basis.
-Here is an example ``conftest.py`` plugin that allows directories to contain a ``manifest.json`` file,
-which defines how the collection should be done for the directory.
-In this example, only a simple list of files is supported,
-however you can imagine adding other keys, such as exclusions and globs.
