Breaking Changes

Although the following changes are "breaking" in terms of public API, we didn't find any public use of these classes and methods on GitHub.

  • mkdocstrings.extension.AutoDocProcessor.__init__(parser): Parameter was removed
  • mkdocstrings.extension.AutoDocProcessor.__init__(md): Positional parameter was moved
  • mkdocstrings.extension.AutoDocProcessor.__init__(config): Parameter was removed
  • mkdocstrings.extension.AutoDocProcessor.__init__(handlers): Parameter kind was changed: positional or keyword -> keyword-only
  • mkdocstrings.extension.AutoDocProcessor.__init__(autorefs): Parameter kind was changed: positional or keyword -> keyword-only
  • mkdocstrings.extension.MkdocstringsExtension.__init__(config): Parameter was removed
  • mkdocstrings.extension.MkdocstringsExtension.__init__(handlers): Positional parameter was moved
  • mkdocstrings.extension.MkdocstringsExtension.__init__(autorefs): Positional parameter was moved
  • mkdocstrings.handlers.base.Handlers.__init__(config): Parameter was removed
  • mkdocstrings.handlers.base.Handlers.__init__(theme): Parameter was added as required
  • mkdocstrings.handlers.base.Handlers.__init__(default): Parameter was added as required
  • mkdocstrings.handlers.base.Handlers.__init__(inventory_project): Parameter was added as required
  • mkdocstrings.handlers.base.Handlers.__init__(tool_config): Parameter was added as required

Similarly, the following parameters were renamed, but the methods are only called from our own code, using positional arguments.

  • mkdocstrings.handlers.base.BaseHandler.collect(config): Parameter was renamed options
  • mkdocstrings.handlers.base.BaseHandler.render(config): Parameter was renamed options

Finally, the following method was removed, but this is again taken into account in our own code:

  • mkdocstrings.handlers.base.BaseHandler.get_anchors: Public object was removed

For these reasons, and because we're still in v0, we do not bump to v1 yet. See following deprecations.

Deprecations

mkdocstrings 0.28 will start emitting these deprecations warnings:

The handler argument is deprecated. The handler name must be specified as a class attribute.

Previously, the get_handler function would pass a handler (name) argument to the handler constructor. This name must now be set on the handler's class directly.

class MyHandler:
    name = "myhandler"

The domain attribute must be specified as a class attribute.

The domain class attribute on handlers is now mandatory and cannot be an empty string.

class MyHandler:
    domain = "mh"

The theme argument must be passed as a keyword argument.

This argument could previously be passed as a positional argument (from the get_handler function), and must now be passed as a keyword argument.

The custom_templates argument must be passed as a keyword argument.

Same as for theme, but with custom_templates.

The mdx argument must be provided (as a keyword argument).

The get_handler function now receives a mdx argument, which it must forward to the handler constructor and then to the base handler, either explicitly or through **kwargs:

=== "Explicitly"

```python
def get_handler(..., mdx, ...):
    return MyHandler(..., mdx=mdx, ...)

class MyHandler:
    def __init__(self, ..., mdx, ...):
        super().__init__(..., mdx=mdx, ...)
```

=== "Through **kwargs"

```python
def get_handler(..., **kwargs):
    return MyHandler(..., **kwargs)

class MyHandler:
    def __init__(self, ..., **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
```

In the meantime we still retrieve this mdx value at a different moment, by reading it from the MkDocs configuration.

The mdx_config argument must be provided (as a keyword argument).

Same as for mdx, but with mdx_config.

mkdocstrings v1 will stop handling 'import' in handlers configuration. Instead your handler must define a get_inventory_urls method that returns a list of URLs to download.

Previously, mkdocstrings would pop the import key from a handler's configuration to download each item (URLs). Items could be strings, or dictionaries with a url key. Now mkdocstrings gives back control to handlers, which must store this inventory configuration within them, and expose it again through a get_inventory_urls method. This method returns a list of tuples: an URL, and a dictionary of options that will be passed again to their load_inventory method. Handlers have now full control over the "inventory" setting.

from copy import deepcopy

def get_handler(..., handler_config, ...):
    return MyHandler(..., config=handler_config, ...)

class MyHandler:
    def __init__(self, ..., config, ...):
        self.config = config

    def get_inventory_urls(self):
        config = deepcopy(self.config["import"])
        return [(inv, {}) if isinstance(inv, str) else (inv.pop("url"), inv) for inv in config]

Changing the name of the key (for example from import to inventories) involves a change in user configuration, and both keys will have to be supported by your handler for some time.

def get_handler(..., handler_config, ...):
    if "inventories" not in handler_config and "import" in handler_config:
        warn("The 'import' key is renamed 'inventories'", FutureWarning)
        handler_config["inventories"] = handler_config.pop("import")
    return MyHandler(..., config=handler_config, ...)

Setting a fallback anchor function is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

This comes from mkdocstrings and mkdocs-autorefs, and will disappear with mkdocstrings v0.28.

mkdocstrings v1 will start using your handler's get_options method to build options instead of merging the global and local options (dictionaries).

Handlers must now store their own global options (in an instance attribute), and implement a get_options method that receives local_options (a dict) and returns combined options (dict or custom object). These combined options are then passed to collect and render, so that these methods can use them right away.

def get_handler(..., handler_config, ...):
    return MyHandler(..., config=handler_config, ...)

class MyHandler:
    def __init__(self, ..., config, ...):
        self.config = config

    def get_options(local_options):
        return {**self.default_options, **self.config["options"], **local_options}

The update_env(md) parameter is deprecated. Use self.md instead.

Handlers can remove the md parameter from their update_env method implementation, and use self.md instead, if they need it.

No need to call super().update_env() anymore.

Handlers don't have to call the parent update_env method from their own implementation anymore, and can just drop the call.

The get_anchors method is deprecated. Declare a get_aliases method instead, accepting a string (identifier) instead of a collected object.

Previously, handlers would implement a get_anchors method that received a data object (typed CollectorItem) to return aliases for this object. This forced mkdocstrings to collect this object through the handler's collect method, which then required some logic with "fallback config" as to prevent unwanted collection. mkdocstrings gives back control to handlers and now calls get_aliases instead, which accepts an identifier (string) and lets the handler decide how to return aliases for this identifier. For example, it can replicate previous behavior by calling its own collect method with its own "fallback config", or do something different (cache lookup, etc.).

class MyHandler:
    def get_aliases(identifier):
        try:
            obj = self.collect(identifier, self.fallback_config)

### or obj = self._objects_cache[identifier]
        except CollectionError:  # or KeyError
            return ()
        return ...  # previous logic in `get_anchors`

The config_file_path argument in get_handler functions is deprecated. Use tool_config.get('config_file_path') instead.

The config_file_path argument is now deprecated and only passed to get_handler functions if they accept it. If you used it to compute a "base directory", you can now use the tool_config argument instead, which is the configuration of the SSG tool in use (here MkDocs):

base_dir = Path(tool_config.config_file_path or "./mkdocs.yml").parent

Most of these warnings will disappear with the next version of mkdocstrings-python.

pytest 9.0.2 (2025-12-06)

Bug fixes

  • #​13896: The terminal progress feature added in pytest 9.0.0 has been disabled by default, except on Windows, due to compatibility issues with some terminal emulators.

    You may enable it again by passing -p terminalprogress. We may enable it by default again once compatibility improves in the future.

    Additionally, when the environment variable TERM is dumb, the escape codes are no longer emitted, even if the plugin is enabled.

  • #​13904: Fixed the TOML type of the tmp_path_retention_count settings in the API reference from number to string.

  • #​13946: The private config.inicfg attribute was changed in a breaking manner in pytest 9.0.0.
    Due to its usage in the ecosystem, it is now restored to working order using a compatibility shim.
    It will be deprecated in pytest 9.1 and removed in pytest 10.

  • #​13965: Fixed quadratic-time behavior when handling unittest subtests in Python 3.10.

Improved documentation

  • #​4492: The API Reference now contains cross-reference-able documentation of pytest's command-line flags <command-line-flags>.

v9.0.0

Compare Source

pytest 9.0.0 (2025-11-05)

New features

  • #​1367: Support for subtests has been added.

    subtests <subtests> are an alternative to parametrization, useful in situations where the parametrization values are not all known at collection time.

    Example:

    def contains_docstring(p: Path) -> bool:
    """Return True if the given Python file contains a top-level docstring."""
    ...

def test_py_files_contain_docstring(subtests: pytest.Subtests) -> None:
    for path in Path.cwd().glob("*.py"):
        with subtests.test(path=str(path)):
            assert contains_docstring(path)

    Each assert failure or error is caught by the context manager and reported individually, giving a clear picture of all files that are missing a docstring.

    In addition, unittest.TestCase.subTest is now also supported.

    This feature was originally implemented as a separate plugin in pytest-subtests, but since then has been merged into the core.

    [!NOTE]
    This feature is experimental and will likely evolve in future releases. By that we mean that we might change how subtests are reported on failure, but the functionality and how to use it are stable.

  • #​13743: Added support for native TOML configuration files.

    While pytest, since version 6, supports configuration in pyproject.toml files under [tool.pytest.ini_options],
    it does so in an "INI compatibility mode", where all configuration values are treated as strings or list of strings.
    Now, pytest supports the native TOML data model.

    In pyproject.toml, the native TOML configuration is under the [tool.pytest] table.

    # pyproject.toml
[tool.pytest]
minversion = "9.0"
addopts = ["-ra", "-q"]
testpaths = [
    "tests",
    "integration",
]

    The [tool.pytest.ini_options] table remains supported, but both tables cannot be used at the same time.

    If you prefer to use a separate configuration file, or don't use pyproject.toml, you can use pytest.toml or .pytest.toml:

    # pytest.toml or .pytest.toml
[pytest]
minversion = "9.0"
addopts = ["-ra", "-q"]
testpaths = [
    "tests",
    "integration",
]

    The documentation now (sometimes) shows configuration snippets in both TOML and INI formats, in a tabbed interface.

    See config file formats for full details.

  • #​13823: Added a "strict mode" enabled by the strict configuration option.

    When set to true, the strict option currently enables

    • strict_config
    • strict_markers
    • strict_parametrization_ids
    • strict_xfail

    The individual strictness options can be explicitly set to override the global strict setting.

    The previously-deprecated --strict command-line flag now enables strict mode.

    If pytest adds new strictness options in the future, they will also be enabled in strict mode.
    Therefore, you should only enable strict mode if you use a pinned/locked version of pytest,
    or if you want to proactively adopt new strictness options as they are added.

    See strict mode for more details.

  • #​13737: Added the strict_parametrization_ids configuration option.

    When set, pytest emits an error if it detects non-unique parameter set IDs,
    rather than automatically making the IDs unique by adding 0, 1, ... to them.
    This can be particularly useful for catching unintended duplicates.

  • #​13072: Added support for displaying test session progress in the terminal tab using the OSC 9;4; ANSI sequence.
    When pytest runs in a supported terminal emulator like ConEmu, Gnome Terminal, Ptyxis, Windows Terminal, Kitty or Ghostty,
    you'll see the progress in the terminal tab or window,
    allowing you to monitor pytest's progress at a glance.

    This feature is automatically enabled when running in a TTY. It is implemented as an internal plugin. If needed, it can be disabled as follows:

    • On a user level, using -p no:terminalprogress on the command line or via an environment variable PYTEST_ADDOPTS='-p no:terminalprogress'.
    • On a project configuration level, using addopts = "-p no:terminalprogress".

  • #​478: Support PEP420 (implicit namespace packages) as --pyargs target when consider_namespace_packages is true in the config.

    Previously, this option only impacted package imports, now it also impacts tests discovery.

  • #​13678: Added a new faulthandler_exit_on_timeout configuration option set to "false" by default to let faulthandler interrupt the pytest process after a timeout in case of deadlock.

    Previously, a faulthandler timeout would only dump the traceback of all threads to stderr, but would not interrupt the pytest process.

    -- by ogrisel.

  • #​13829: Added support for configuration option aliases via the aliases parameter in Parser.addini() <pytest.Parser.addini>.

    Plugins can now register alternative names for configuration options,
    allowing for more flexibility in configuration naming and supporting backward compatibility when renaming options.
    The canonical name always takes precedence if both the canonical name and an alias are specified in the configuration file.

Improvements in existing functionality

  • #​13330: Having pytest configuration spread over more than one file (for example having both a pytest.ini file and pyproject.toml with a [tool.pytest.ini_options] table) will now print a warning to make it clearer to the user that only one of them is actually used.

    -- by sgaist

  • #​13574: The single argument --version no longer loads the entire plugin infrastructure, making it faster and more reliable when displaying only the pytest version.

    Passing --version twice (e.g., pytest --version --version) retains the original behavior, showing both the pytest version and plugin information.

    [!NOTE]
    Since --version is now processed early, it only takes effect when passed directly via the command line. It will not work if set through other mechanisms, such as PYTEST_ADDOPTS or addopts.

  • #​13823: Added strict_xfail as an alias to the xfail_strict option,
    strict_config as an alias to the --strict-config flag,
    and strict_markers as an alias to the --strict-markers flag.
    This makes all strictness options consistently have configuration options with the prefix strict_.

  • #​13700: --junitxml no longer prints the generated xml file summary at the end of the pytest session when --quiet is given.

  • #​13732: Previously, when filtering warnings, pytest would fail if the filter referenced a class that could not be imported. Now, this only outputs a message indicating the problem.

  • #​13859: Clarify the error message for pytest.raises() when a regex match fails.

  • #​13861: Better sentence structure in a test's expected error message. Previously, the error message would be "expected exception must be <expected>, but got <actual>". Now, it is "Expected <expected>, but got <actual>".

Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes

  • #​12083: Fixed a bug where an invocation such as pytest a/ a/b would cause only tests from a/b to run, and not other tests under a/.

    The fix entails a few breaking changes to how such overlapping arguments and duplicates are handled:

    1. pytest a/b a/ or pytest a/ a/b are equivalent to pytest a; if an argument overlaps another arguments, only the prefix remains.
    2. pytest x.py x.py is equivalent to pytest x.py; previously such an invocation was taken as an explicit request to run the tests from the file twice.

    If you rely on these behaviors, consider using --keep-duplicates <duplicate-paths>, which retains its existing behavior (including the bug).

  • #​13719: Support for Python 3.9 is dropped following its end of life.

  • #​13766: Previously, pytest would assume it was running in a CI/CD environment if either of the environment variables $CI or $BUILD_NUMBER was defined;
    now, CI mode is only activated if at least one of those variables is defined and set to a non-empty value.

  • #​13779: PytestRemovedIn9Warning deprecation warnings are now errors by default.

    Following our plan to remove deprecated features with as little disruption as
    possible, all warnings of type PytestRemovedIn9Warning now generate errors
    instead of warning messages by default.

    The affected features will be effectively removed in pytest 9.1, so please consult the
    deprecations section in the docs for directions on how to update existing code.

    In the pytest 9.0.X series, it is possible to change the errors back into warnings as a
    stopgap measure by adding this to your pytest.ini file:

    [pytest]
filterwarnings =
    ignore::pytest.PytestRemovedIn9Warning

    But this will stop working when pytest 9.1 is released.

    If you have concerns about the removal of a specific feature, please add a
    comment to 13779.

Deprecations (removal in next major release)

  • #​13807: monkeypatch.syspath_prepend() <pytest.MonkeyPatch.syspath_prepend> now issues a deprecation warning when the prepended path contains legacy namespace packages (those using pkg_resources.declare_namespace()).
    Users should migrate to native namespace packages (420).
    See monkeypatch-fixup-namespace-packages for details.

Bug fixes

  • #​13445: Made the type annotations of pytest.skip and friends more spec-complaint to have them work across more type checkers.

  • #​13537: Fixed a bug in which ExceptionGroup with only Skipped exceptions in teardown was not handled correctly and showed as error.

  • #​13598: Fixed possible collection confusion on Windows when short paths and symlinks are involved.

  • #​13716: Fixed a bug where a nonsensical invocation like pytest x.py[a] (a file cannot be parametrized) was silently treated as pytest x.py. This is now a usage error.

  • #​13722: Fixed a misleading assertion failure message when using pytest.approx on mappings with differing lengths.

  • #​13773: Fixed the static fixture closure calculation to properly consider transitive dependencies requested by overridden fixtures.

  • #​13816: Fixed pytest.approx which now returns a clearer error message when comparing mappings with different keys.

  • #​13849: Hidden .pytest.ini files are now picked up as the config file even if empty.
    This was an inconsistency with non-hidden pytest.ini.

  • #​13865: Fixed --show-capture with --tb=line.

  • #​13522: Fixed pytester in subprocess mode ignored all :attr`pytester.plugins <pytest.Pytester.plugins>` except the first.

    Fixed pytester in subprocess mode silently ignored non-str pytester.plugins <pytest.Pytester.plugins>.
    Now it errors instead.
    If you are affected by this, specify the plugin by name, or switch the affected tests to use pytester.runpytest_inprocess <pytest.Pytester.runpytest_inprocess> explicitly instead.

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams

  • #​13791: Minimum requirements on iniconfig and packaging were bumped to 1.0.1 and 22.0.0, respectively.

Contributor-facing changes

  • #​12244: Fixed self-test failures when TERM=dumb.
  • #​12474: Added scheduled GitHub Action Workflow to run Sphinx linkchecks in repo documentation.
  • #​13621: pytest's own testsuite now handles the lsof command hanging (e.g. due to unreachable network filesystems), with the affected selftests being skipped after 10 seconds.
  • #​13638: Fixed deprecated gh pr new command in scripts/prepare-release-pr.py.
    The script now uses gh pr create which is compatible with GitHub CLI v2.0+.
  • #​13695: Flush stdout and stderr in Pytester.run to avoid truncated outputs in test_faulthandler.py::test_timeout on CI -- by ogrisel.
  • #​13771: Skip test_do_not_collect_symlink_siblings on Windows environments without symlink support to avoid false negatives.
  • #​13841: tox>=4 is now required when contributing to pytest.
  • #​13625: Added missing docstrings to pytest_addoption(), pytest_configure(), and cacheshow() functions in cacheprovider.py.

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #​13830: Configuration overrides (-o/--override-ini) are now processed during startup rather than during config.getini() <pytest.Config.getini>.
