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 pylint 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/
I feel like 2. while working on 1. is a solid path.
It turned out that implementing 1 is not that hard and I've prepared an upstream fix: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/pull/7829 Unfortunately, the patch doesn't work for the version we have in Fedora. Do you plan to update pylint? If so, you can do it and use the patch. If you don't plan to update the package, I can try to rebase the patch for version 2.14.4.
Our plan is to ship the updated pytest during the next week. If you need any assistance from us, feel free to say so.
I'll update pylint today or tomorrow. Thanks!
7829 doesn't apply cleanly to 2.15.10.
Updating with disabled test to fix FailsToInstall.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle. Changing version to 38.
It seems to me that the package builds fine now.
