-.. _import-or-skip-import-error:
+The ``pytest.Instance`` collector
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-``pytest.importorskip`` default behavior regarding :class:`ImportError`
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. versionremoved:: 7.0
 
-.. deprecated:: 8.2
+The ``pytest.Instance`` collector type has been removed.
 
-Traditionally :func:`pytest.importorskip` will capture :class:`ImportError`, with the original intent being to skip
-tests where a dependent module is not installed, for example testing with different dependencies.
+Previously, Python test methods were collected as :class:`~pytest.Class` -> ``Instance`` -> :class:`~pytest.Function`.
+Now :class:`~pytest.Class` collects the test methods directly.
 
-However some packages might be installed in the system, but are not importable due to
-some other issue, for example, a compilation error or a broken installation. In those cases :func:`pytest.importorskip`
-would still silently skip the test, but more often than not users would like to see the unexpected
-error so the underlying issue can be fixed.
-
-In ``8.2`` the ``exc_type`` parameter has been added, giving users the ability of passing :class:`ModuleNotFoundError`
-to skip tests only if the module cannot really be found, and not because of some other error.
-
-Catching only :class:`ModuleNotFoundError` by default (and letting other errors propagate) would be the best solution,
-however for backward compatibility, pytest will keep the existing behavior but raise an warning if:
-
-1. The captured exception is of type :class:`ImportError`, and:
-2. The user does not pass ``exc_type`` explicitly.
-
-If the import attempt raises :class:`ModuleNotFoundError` (the usual case), then the module is skipped and no
-warning is emitted.
-
-This way, the usual cases will keep working the same way, while unexpected errors will now issue a warning, with
-users being able to supress the warning by passing ``exc_type=ImportError`` explicitly.
-
-In ``9.0``, the warning will turn into an error, and in ``9.1`` :func:`pytest.importorskip` will only capture
-:class:`ModuleNotFoundError` by default and no warnings will be issued anymore -- but users can still capture
-:class:`ImportError` by passing it to ``exc_type``.
+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.

-Removed Features and Breaking Changes
--------------------------------------
-
-As stated in our :ref:`backwards-compatibility` policy, deprecated features are removed only in major releases after
-an appropriate period of deprecation has passed.
-
-Some breaking changes which could not be deprecated are also listed.
-
-.. _nose-deprecation:
-
-Support for tests written for nose
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.2
-.. versionremoved:: 8.0
-
-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
-
-
-The ``compat_co_firstlineno`` attribute
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Nose inspects this attribute on function objects to allow overriding the function's inferred line number.
-Pytest no longer respects this attribute.
-

-
-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 was removed in pytest 8.
-
-
-Using ``pytest.warns(None)``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-.. versionremoved:: 8.0
-
-: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)``.
-
-See :ref:`warns use cases` for examples.
-
-
-Backward compatibilities in ``Parser.addoption``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 2.4
-.. versionremoved:: 8.0
-
-Several behaviors of :meth:`Parser.addoption <pytest.Parser.addoption>` are now
-removed 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.
-
-
-The ``--strict`` command-line option
+The ``pytest_warning_captured`` hook
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-.. deprecated:: 6.2
-.. versionremoved:: 8.0
+.. deprecated:: 6.0
 
-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).
-
-
-.. _cmdline-preparse-deprecated:
-
-Implementing the ``pytest_cmdline_preparse`` hook
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. deprecated:: 7.0
-.. versionremoved:: 8.0
-
-Implementing the ``pytest_cmdline_preparse`` hook has been officially deprecated.
-Implement the :hook:`pytest_load_initial_conftests` hook instead.

-
-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
-        ├── test_a.py
-        ├── test_b
-        │   ├── __init__.py
-        │   └── test_b.py
-        ├── test_c.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,
-is now the following::
-
-    <Session>
-      <Dir myroot>
-        <Dir top>
-          <Dir aaa>
-            <Module test_aaa.py>
-              <Function test_it>
-          <Module test_a.py>
-            <Function test_it>
-          <Package test_b>
-            <Module test_b.py>
-              <Function test_it>
-          <Module test_c.py>
-            <Function test_it>
-          <Package zzz>
-            <Module test_zzz.py>
-              <Function test_it>
-
-Previously, it was::
-
-    <Session>
-      <Module top/test_a.py>
-        <Function test_it>
-      <Module top/test_c.py>
-        <Function test_it>
-      <Module top/aaa/test_aaa.py>
-        <Function test_it>
-      <Package test_b>
-        <Module test_b.py>
-          <Function test_it>
-      <Package zzz>
-        <Module test_zzz.py>
-          <Function test_it>
-
-Code/plugins which rely on a specific shape of the collection tree might need to update.

-
-:class:`pytest.Package` is no longer a :class:`pytest.Module` or :class:`pytest.File`
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. versionchanged:: 8.0
-
-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).
-
-
-Collecting ``__init__.py`` files no longer collects package
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. versionremoved:: 8.0
-
-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.

@@ -657,34 +657,52 @@ Use :func:`pytest.raises` with the
 :ref:`pytest.mark.parametrize ref` decorator to write parametrized tests
 in which some tests raise exceptions and others do not.
 
-``contextlib.nullcontext`` can be used to test cases that are not expected to
-raise exceptions but that should result in some value. The value is given as the
-``enter_result`` parameter, which will be available as the ``with`` statement’s
-target (``e`` in the example below).
-
-For example:
+It is helpful to define a no-op context manager ``does_not_raise`` to serve
+as a complement to ``raises``. For example:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-    from contextlib import nullcontext
-
+    from contextlib import contextmanager
     import pytest
 
 
+    @contextmanager
+    def does_not_raise():
+        yield
+
+
     @pytest.mark.parametrize(
         "example_input,expectation",
         [
-            (3, nullcontext(2)),
-            (2, nullcontext(3)),
-            (1, nullcontext(6)),
+            (3, does_not_raise()),
+            (2, does_not_raise()),
+            (1, does_not_raise()),
             (0, pytest.raises(ZeroDivisionError)),
         ],
     )
     def test_division(example_input, expectation):
         """Test how much I know division."""
-        with expectation as e:
-            assert (6 / example_input) == e
+        with expectation:
+            assert (6 / example_input) is not None
 
-In the example above, the first three test cases should run without any
-exceptions, while the fourth should raise a``ZeroDivisionError`` exception,
-which is expected by pytest.
+In the example above, the first three test cases should run unexceptionally,
+while the fourth should raise ``ZeroDivisionError``.
+
+If you're only supporting Python 3.7+, you can simply use ``nullcontext``
+to define ``does_not_raise``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from contextlib import nullcontext as does_not_raise
+
+Or, if you're supporting Python 3.3+ you can use:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from contextlib import ExitStack as does_not_raise
+
+Or, if desired, you can ``pip install contextlib2`` and use:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from contextlib2 import nullcontext as does_not_raise

     ``python -m pytest``.
 
+Note that this scheme has a drawback if you are using ``prepend`` :ref:`import mode <import-modes>`
+(which is the default): your test files must have **unique names**, because
+``pytest`` will import them as *top-level* modules since there are no packages
+to derive a full package name from. In other words, the test files in the example above will
+be imported as ``test_app`` and ``test_view`` top-level modules by adding ``tests/`` to
+``sys.path``.
+
+If you need to have test modules with the same name, you might add ``__init__.py`` files to your

+            test_view.py
+
+Now pytest will load the modules as ``tests.foo.test_view`` and ``tests.bar.test_view``, allowing
+you to have modules with the same name. But now this introduces a subtle problem: in order to load
+the test modules from the ``tests`` directory, pytest prepends the root of the repository to
+``sys.path``, which adds the side-effect that now ``mypkg`` is also importable.
+
+This is problematic if you are using a tool like `tox`_ to test your package in a virtual environment,

-  name (for example ``tests.core.test_core`` for ``test_core.py`` inside the ``tests.core`` package).
-
-  If the test directory tree is not arranged as packages, then each test file needs to have a unique name

-.. _`import-mode-importlib`:
+* ``importlib``: new in pytest-6.0, this mode uses :mod:`importlib` to import test modules. This gives full control over the import process, and doesn't require changing :py:data:`sys.path`.
 
-* ``importlib``: this mode uses more fine control mechanisms provided by :mod:`importlib` to import test modules, without changing :py:data:`sys.path`.
-
-  Advantages of this mode:
-
-  * pytest will not change :py:data:`sys.path` at all.
-  * Test module names do not need to be unique -- pytest will generate a unique name automatically based on the ``rootdir``.
-
-  Disadvantages:
-
-  * Test modules can't import each other.
-  * Testing utility modules in the tests directories (for example a ``tests.helpers`` module containing test-related functions/classes)
-    are not importable. The recommendation in this case it to place testing utility modules together with the application/library
-    code, for example ``app.testing.helpers``.
-
-    Important: by "test utility modules" we mean functions/classes which are imported by
-    other tests directly; this does not include fixtures, which should be placed in ``conftest.py`` files, along
-    with the test modules, and are discovered automatically by pytest.
-
-  It works like this:
-
-  1. Given a certain module path, for example ``tests/core/test_models.py``, derives a canonical name
-     like ``tests.core.test_models`` and tries to import it.
-
-     For non-test modules this will work if they are accessible via :py:data:`sys.path`, so
-     for example ``.env/lib/site-packages/app/core.py`` will be importable as ``app.core``.
-     This is happens when plugins import non-test modules (for example doctesting).
-
-     If this step succeeds, the module is returned.
-
-     For test modules, unless they are reachable from :py:data:`sys.path`, this step will fail.
-
-  2. If the previous step fails, we import the module directly using ``importlib`` facilities, which lets us import it without
-     changing :py:data:`sys.path`.
-
-     Because Python requires the module to also be available in :py:data:`sys.modules`, pytest derives a unique name for it based
-     on its relative location from the ``rootdir``, and adds the module to :py:data:`sys.modules`.
-
-     For example, ``tests/core/test_models.py`` will end up being imported as the module ``tests.core.test_models``.
-
-  .. versionadded:: 6.0
-
-.. note::
-
-    Initially we intended to make ``importlib`` the default in future releases, however it is clear now that

+How to run tests written for nose
+=======================================
+
+``pytest`` has basic support for running tests written for nose_.
+
+.. _nosestyle:
+
+Usage
+-------------
+
+After :ref:`installation` type:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    python setup.py develop  # make sure tests can import our package
+    pytest  # instead of 'nosetests'
+
+and you should be able to run your nose style tests and
+make use of pytest's capabilities.
+
+Supported nose Idioms
+----------------------
+
+* setup and teardown at module/class/method level
+* SkipTest exceptions and markers
+* setup/teardown decorators
+* ``__test__`` attribute on modules/classes/functions
+* general usage of nose utilities
+
+Unsupported idioms / known issues
+----------------------------------
+
+- unittest-style ``setUp, tearDown, setUpClass, tearDownClass``
+  are recognized only on ``unittest.TestCase`` classes but not
+  on plain classes.  ``nose`` supports these methods also on plain
+  classes but pytest deliberately does not.  As nose and pytest already
+  both support ``setup_class, teardown_class, setup_method, teardown_method``
+  it doesn't seem useful to duplicate the unittest-API like nose does.
+  If you however rather think pytest should support the unittest-spelling on
+  plain classes please post to :issue:`377`.
+
+- nose imports test modules with the same import path (e.g.
+  ``tests.test_mode``) but different file system paths
+  (e.g. ``tests/test_mode.py`` and ``other/tests/test_mode.py``)
+  by extending sys.path/import semantics.   pytest does not do that
+  but there is discussion in :issue:`268` for adding some support.  Note that
+  `nose2 choose to avoid this sys.path/import hackery <https://nose2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/differences.html#test-discovery-and-loading>`_.
+
+  If you place a conftest.py file in the root directory of your project
+  (as determined by pytest) pytest will run tests "nose style" against
+  the code below that directory by adding it to your ``sys.path`` instead of
+  running against your installed code.
+
+  You may find yourself wanting to do this if you ran ``python setup.py install``
+  to set up your project, as opposed to ``python setup.py develop`` or any of
+  the package manager equivalents.  Installing with develop in a
+  virtual environment like tox is recommended over this pattern.
+
+- nose-style doctests are not collected and executed correctly,
+  also doctest fixtures don't work.
+
+- no nose-configuration is recognized.
+
+- ``yield``-based methods are unsupported as of pytest 4.1.0.  They are
+  fundamentally incompatible with pytest because they don't support fixtures
+  properly since collection and test execution are separated.
+
+Migrating from nose to pytest
+------------------------------
+
+`nose2pytest <https://github.com/pytest-dev/nose2pytest>`_ is a Python script
+and pytest plugin to help convert Nose-based tests into pytest-based tests.
+Specifically, the script transforms nose.tools.assert_* function calls into
+raw assert statements, while preserving format of original arguments
+as much as possible.
