    py-test: updated to 8.1.1

    pytest 8.1.1 (2024-03-08)
    =========================

    This release is not a usual bug fix release -- it contains features and improvements, being a follow up
    to ``8.1.0``, which has been yanked from PyPI.

    Features
    --------

    - Added the new :confval:`consider_namespace_packages` configuration option, defaulting to ``False``.

      If set to ``True``, pytest will attempt to identify modules that are part of `namespace packages <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages>`__ when importing modules.

    - Added the new :confval:`verbosity_test_cases` configuration option for fine-grained control of test execution verbosity.
      See :ref:`Fine-grained verbosity <pytest.fine_grained_verbosity>` for more details.

    Improvements
    ------------

    - :func:`pytest.warns` now validates that :func:`warnings.warn` was called with a `str` or a `Warning`.
      Currently in Python it is possible to use other types, however this causes an exception when :func:`warnings.filterwarnings` is used to filter those warnings.
      While this can be considered a bug in CPython, we decided to put guards in pytest as the error message produced without this check in place is confusing.

    - When using ``--override-ini`` for paths in invocations without a configuration file defined, the current working directory is used
      as the relative directory.

      Previoulsy this would raise an :class:`AssertionError`.

    - :ref:`--import-mode=importlib <import-mode-importlib>` now tries to import modules using the standard import mechanism (but still without changing :py:data:`sys.path`), falling back to importing modules directly only if that fails.

      This means that installed packages will be imported under their canonical name if possible first, for example ``app.core.models``, instead of having the module name always be derived from their path (for example ``.env310.lib.site_packages.app.core.models``).

    - Added the :func:`iter_parents() <_pytest.nodes.Node.iter_parents>` helper method on nodes.
      It is similar to :func:`listchain <_pytest.nodes.Node.listchain>`, but goes from bottom to top, and returns an iterator, not a list.

    - Added support for :data:`sys.last_exc` for post-mortem debugging on Python>=3.12.

    - In case no other suitable candidates for configuration file are found, a ``pyproject.toml`` (even without a ``[tool.pytest.ini_options]`` table) will be considered as the configuration file and define the ``rootdir``.

    - Add ``--log-file-mode`` option to the logging plugin, enabling appending to log-files. This option accepts either ``"w"`` or ``"a"`` and defaults to ``"w"``.

      Previously, the mode was hard-coded to be ``"w"`` which truncates the file before logging.

    - When multiple finalizers of a fixture raise an exception, now all exceptions are reported as an exception group.
      Previously, only the first exception was reported.

    Bug Fixes
    ---------

    - Fixed regression where ``--importmode=importlib`` would import non-test modules more than once.

    - Fixed a regression in pytest 8.0.0 that would cause test collection to fail due to permission errors when using ``--pyargs``.

      This change improves the collection tree for tests specified using ``--pyargs``, see :pull:`12043` for a comparison with pytest 8.0 and <8.

    - Fixed a regression in 8.0.1 whereby ``setup_module`` xunit-style fixtures are not executed when ``--doctest-modules`` is passed.

    - Fix the ``stacklevel`` used when warning about marks used on fixtures.

    - Fixed a regression in ``8.0.2`` where tests created using :fixture:`tmp_path` have been collected multiple times in CI under Windows.

    Improved Documentation
    ----------------------

    - Documented the retention of temporary directories created using the ``tmp_path`` fixture in more detail.

    Trivial/Internal Changes
    ------------------------

    - Some changes were made to private functions which may affect plugins which access them:

      - ``FixtureManager._getautousenames()`` now takes a ``Node`` itself instead of the nodeid.
      - ``FixtureManager.getfixturedefs()`` now takes the ``Node`` itself instead of the nodeid.
      - The ``_pytest.nodes.iterparentnodeids()`` function is removed without replacement.
        Prefer to traverse the node hierarchy itself instead.
        If you really need to, copy the function from the previous pytest release.

    - Delayed the deprecation of the following features to ``9.0.0``:

      * :ref:`node-ctor-fspath-deprecation`.
      * :ref:`legacy-path-hooks-deprecated`.

      It was discovered after ``8.1.0`` was released that the warnings about the impeding removal were not being displayed, so the team decided to revert the removal.

      This is the reason for ``8.1.0`` being yanked.
