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>.
