Description Lumír Balhar 2022-11-11 13:31:39 UTC

I'm testing an update of pytest to 7.2.0 and I've discovered that this package fails to build with it. The reason is a change related to `py` package.

`py` is an independent package developed by the same team as pytest and it has been bundled in pytest for quite some time. The `py` package itself is now in maintenance mode and pytest developers decided to bundle only a subset of its functionalities in pytest since version 7.2.0.

It seems that python-pytest-metadata needs some parts of `py` that are no longer available in pytest (including deprecated `py.test` itself). There are two possible solutions:

1. Drop dependency on `py`. That requires some coordination with upstream but it's generally a good idea long-term.
2. Add python3-py to build dependencies. `py` package installed from python3-py will have a higher priority than py.py module bundled in pytest. This is a quick workaround but given the status of `py` project, it's only temporary.

If you want to, you can find the failed build in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lbalhar/pytest/

Comment 1 Lumír Balhar 2022-11-11 16:03:10 UTC

And it seems that the problem is already fixed upstream since version 2.0.3: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-metadata/commit/447b8e12822337608636b5ce733bbad1382c6a7c

Comment 3 Lumír Balhar 2022-11-23 12:20:40 UTC

Our plan is to ship the updated pytest during the next week. If you need any assistance from us, feel free to say so.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle.
Changing version to 38.

Dear Maintainer,

your package has an open Fails To Build From Source bug for Fedora 39.
Action is required from you.

an update in bodhi, or close this bug without creating an update, if updating is
not appropriate [1]. If you are working on a fix, set the status to ASSIGNED to
acknowledge this. If you have already fixed this issue, please close this Bugzilla report.
