pytest 2.4 introduced some incompatibilities, see http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/changelog.html#id144. Why do you want to update the package? I ran into a package that didn't discover any tests with 2.3.5, but worked fine with 2.4.2. If there are too many incompatible changes obviously it won't work to upgrade. known incompatibilities: * if calling –genscript from python2.7 or above, you only get a standalone script which works on python2.7 or above. Use Python2.6 to also get a python2.5 compatible version. -> This doesn't appear to be applicable here. * all xunit-style teardown methods (nose-style, pytest-style, unittest-style) will not be called if the corresponding setup method failed, see issue322 below. -> I don't quite follow this, but seems mainly to address side effects on test setup failing. * the pytest_plugin_unregister hook wasn’t ever properly called and there is no known implementation of the hook - so it got removed. -> This might require patching out of calls to pytest_plugin_unregister. * pytest.fixture-decorated functions cannot be generators (i.e. use yield) anymore. This change might be reversed in 2.4.1 if it causes unforeseen real-life issues. However, you can always write and return an inner function/generator and change the fixture consumer to iterate over the returned generator. This change was done in lieu of the new pytest.yield_fixture decorator, see below. -> This looks like probably the biggest issue. pytest-2.4.2-1.el6 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 6. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2017-4fba27d6bc pytest-2.4.2-1.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2017-4fba27d6bc pytest-2.4.2-1.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 stable repository.

Description of problem: I'd like to upgrade pytest in EPEL6 if possible. Looks like we can update to 2.4.2 pretty easily with: diff --git a/pytest.spec b/pytest.spec index 4ec3b3a..5ce8885 100644 --- a/pytest.spec +++ b/pytest.spec @@ -30,6 +30,10 @@ BuildRequires: python-sphinx BuildRequires: python-sphinx10 %endif # fedora BuildRequires: python-docutils +%if 0%{?rhel} && 0%{?rhel} <= 6 +BuildRequires: python-argparse +Requires: python-argparse +%endif %if 0%{?with_python3} BuildRequires: python3-devel BuildRequires: python3-setuptools After that we would need to update python-py as well. Not sure how easy that would be. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.5-3.el6
