pytest 9.1.1 (2026-06-19)

Bug fixes

#14220: Fixed a logic bug in pytest.RaisesGroup which would might cause it to display incorrect "It matches FooError() which was paired with BarError" messages.
#14591: Fixed a regression in pytest 9.1.0 which caused overriding a parametrized fixture with an indirect @pytest.mark.parametrize to fail with "duplicate parametrization of '<fixture name>'".
#14606: Fixed list-item typing errors from mypy in @pytest.mark.parametrize <pytest.mark.parametrize ref> argvalues parameter.
#14608: Fixed a regression in pytest 9.1.0 where conftest.py files located in <invocation dir>/test* were no longer loaded as initial conftests when invoked without arguments.
This could cause certain hooks (like pytest_addoption) in these files to not fire.

pytest 9.1.0 (2026-06-13)

Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes

#14533: When using --doctest-modules, autouse fixtures with module, package or session scope that are defined inline in Python test modules (not plugins or conftests) will now possibly execute twice.

If this is undesirable, move the fixture definition to a conftest.py file if possible.

Technical explanation for those interested:
When using --doctest-modules, pytest possibly collects Python modules twice, once as pytest.Module and once as a DoctestModule (depending on the configuration).
Due to improvements in pytest's fixture implementation, if e.g. the DoctestModule collects a fixture, it is now visible to it only, and not to the Module.
This means that both need to register the fixtures independently.

Deprecations (removal in next major release)

#10819: Added a deprecation warning for class-scoped fixtures defined as instance methods (without @classmethod). Such fixtures set attributes on a different instance than the test methods use, leading to unexpected behavior. Use @classmethod decorator instead -- by yastcher.

See 10819 and 14011.
#12882: Calling request.getfixturevalue() <pytest.FixtureRequest.getfixturevalue> during teardown to request a fixture that was not already requested is now deprecated and will become an error in pytest 10.

See dynamic-fixture-request-during-teardown for details.
#13409: Using non-~collections.abc.Collection iterables (such as generators, iterators, or custom iterable objects) for the argvalues parameter in @pytest.mark.parametrize <pytest.mark.parametrize ref> and metafunc.parametrize <pytest.Metafunc.parametrize> is now deprecated.

These iterables get exhausted after the first iteration,
leading to tests getting unexpectedly skipped in cases such as running pytest.main() multiple times,
using class-level parametrize decorators,
or collecting tests multiple times.

See parametrize-iterators for details and suggestions.
#13946: The private config.inicfg attribute is now deprecated.
Use config.getini() <pytest.Config.getini> to access configuration values instead.

See config-inicfg for more details.
#14004: Passing baseid to ~pytest.FixtureDef or nodeid strings to fixture registration APIs is now deprecated. These are internal pytest APIs that are used by some plugins.

Use the node parameter instead for fixture scoping. This enables more robust node-based
matching instead of string prefix matching.
If you've used nodeid=None, pass node=session instead.

This will be removed in pytest 10.
#14335: The method of configuring hooks using markers, deprecated since pytest 7.2, is now scheduled to be removed in pytest 10.
See hook-markers for more details.
#14434: The --pastebin option is now deprecated.
The same functionality is now available in an external plugin, pytest-pastebin.
See pastebin-deprecated for more details.
#14513: The private FixtureDef.has_location attribute is now deprecated and will be removed in pytest 10.
See fixturedef-has-location-deprecated for details.
#1764: pytest.console_main is now deprecated and will be removed in pytest 10.
It was never intended for programmatic use; use pytest.main instead.

New features

#12376: Added pytest.register_fixture() to register fixtures using an imperative interface.

This is an advanced function intended for use by plugins.

Normally, fixtures should be registered declaratively using the @pytest.fixture <pytest.fixture> decorator.
Pytest looks for these fixture definitions during the collection phase and registers them automatically.
For some plugin usecases the declarative interface can be cumbersome or unviable, in which case this imperative interface can be used.
#14023: Added --report-chars long CLI option.
#14371: Added --max-warnings command-line option and max_warnings configuration option to fail the test run when the number of warnings exceeds a given threshold -- by miketheman.
#6757: Added the assertion_text_diff_style configuration option, allowing
string equality failures to be rendered as separate Left: and Right:
blocks instead of ndiff output.
#8395: Added support for ~datetime.datetime and ~datetime.timedelta comparisons with pytest.approx. An explicit abs or rel tolerance as a ~datetime.timedelta is required and relative tolerance is not supported for datetime comparisons -- by hamza-mobeen.

Improvements in existing functionality

#11225: pytest.warns now shows "Regex pattern did not match" instead of "DID NOT WARN" when warnings were emitted but the match pattern did not match.
#11295: Improved output of --fixtures-per-test by excluding internal-implementation fixtures generated by @pytest.mark.parametrize and similar.
#13241: pytest.raises, pytest.warns and pytest.deprecated_call now uses ParamSpec for the type hint to the (old and not recommended) callable overload, instead of Any. This allows type checkers to raise errors when passing incorrect function parameters.
func can now also be passed as a kwarg, which the type hint previously showed as possible but didn't accept.
#13862: Improved the readability of "DID NOT RAISE" error messages by using the exception type's name instead of its repr.
#14026: Added test coverage for compiled regex patterns in pytest.raises match parameter.
#14137: pytest.ScopeName is now public to allow using it in function signatures.
#14342: Marked yield_fixture as deprecated to type checkers using the deprecated decorator. Note it
has originally been deprecated <yield-fixture-deprecated> in pytest 6.2 already.
#14373: Added type annotations for pytest.approx.
#14430: When using --setup-show, a space is now printed after the test name (and possibly used fixtures), to separate it from the test result.
#14441: Reduced the default number of gc.collect() passes in the unraisableexception plugin from 5 to 1 on CPython, where reference counting makes a single pass sufficient. PyPy retains 5 passes due to object resurrection via __del__. This can noticeably speed up test suites that trigger many pytester runs.
#14461: Improved assertion failure explanations for equality comparisons between mapping objects that are not dict instances.
#14513: The order in which fixture definitions overriding each other are resolved is now determined first by their visibility in the collection tree rather than by the order in which they are registered.

A fixture defined for a more specific node (e.g. a module or an item) now always takes precedence over one with the same name defined for a more general node (e.g. the session), even when the more general one was registered later.
Fixtures with non-comparable visibility or the same visibility keep the existing behavior of "last registered wins".
This change is supposed to only affect plugins which register multiple fixtures programmatically with the same name.
#14524: Add official Python 3.15 support.
#1764: Improved argparse program name to show pytest, python -m pytest, or pytest.main() based on how pytest was invoked, making help and error messages clearer.
#8265: Emit a PytestCollectionWarning when a module-level __getattr__ returns None for pytestmark instead of raising AttributeError.

Previously this caused a cryptic TypeError: got None instead of Mark error.
Now pytest issues a helpful warning and continues collecting the module normally.

Bug fixes

#13192: Fixed | (pipe) not being treated as a regex meta-character that needs escaping in pytest.raises(match=...) <pytest.raises>.
#13484: Fixed -W option values being duplicated in Config.known_args_namespace.
#13626: Fixed function-scoped fixture values being kept alive after a test was interrupted by KeyboardInterrupt or early exit,
allowing them to potentially be released more promptly.
#13784: Fixed capteesys producing doubled output when used with --capture=no (-s).
#13817: Fixed a secondary AttributeError masking the original error when an option argument fails to initialize.
#13884: Fixed rare internal IndexError caused by builtins.compile being overridden in client code.
#13885: Fixed autouse fixtures defined inside a unittest.TestCase class running even when the class is decorated with unittest.skip or unittest.skipIf -- regression since pytest 8.1.0.
#13917: unittest.SkipTest is no longer considered an interactive exception, i.e. pytest_exception_interact is no longer called for it.
#13963: Fixed subtests running with pytest-xdist when their contexts contain objects that are not JSON-serializable.

Fixes pytest-dev/pytest-xdist#1273.
#14004: Fixed conftest.py fixture scoping when testpaths points outside of the rootdir <rootdir>.

Previously, fixtures from nested conftest.py files would incorrectly leak to sibling directories
when using a relative testpaths like ../tests/sdk.

Conftest fixtures are now parsed during Directory <pytest.Directory> collection, using the Directory node for proper scoping.
#14050: Display dictionary differences in assertion failures using the original key insertion order instead of sorted order.
#14080: fix missing type annotations on Pytester.makepyfile and Pytester.maketxtfile methods.
#14114: An exception from pytest_fixture_post_finalizer no longer prevents fixtures from being torn down, causing additional errors in the following tests.
#14161: Fixed monkeypatch.setattr() <pytest.MonkeyPatch.setattr> leaving a stale entry on the undo stack when the underlying setattr() call fails (e.g. on immutable targets), causing an AttributeError crash during teardown.
#14214: Fixed -v hint in pytest.raises match diff not working because assertion verbosity was not propagated.
#14234: Allow pytest.HIDDEN_PARAM <hidden-param> in @pytest.mark.parametrize(ids=...) <pytest.mark.parametrize ref> typing.
#14248: Fixed direct parametrization causing the static fixture closure (as reflected in request.fixturenames <pytest.FixtureRequest.fixturenames>) to omit fixtures that are requested transitively from overridden fixtures.
#14263: Unraisable exceptions from finalizers are now collected during pytest_unconfigure, before pytest tears down the warning filters installed for the session. Previously the collection ran from a cleanup callback whose order relative to other plugins' cleanups was not guaranteed, so an active error filter could be removed before the exception surfaced and a late resource leak would pass silently. A -W error filter, or any filter matching pytest.PytestUnraisableExceptionWarning, now promotes these exceptions to failures regardless of plugin cleanup order.
#14377: Fixed crash in Config.get_terminal_writer when an assertion fails with the terminalreporter plugin disabled.
#14381: Fixed -V (short form of --version) to properly display the current version.
#14389: Improved pytest.raises(..., match=...) <pytest.raises> failures to suppress the mismatched exception as a cause of the resulting AssertionError.
#14392: Fixed a bug in pytest.raises(match=...) <pytest.raises> "fully escaped" detection, causing the regex diff display to be shown in some instances when the raw string diff display should be shown instead.
#14442: Fixed a regression in pytest 9.0 where --strict-markers and --strict-config specified through addopts were silently ignored.

Note that when targeting pytest >= 9.0, it's nicer to use strict_markers and strict_config, or strict mode <strict mode>.
#14456: Fixed pytest.approx not recognizing types with __array_interface__ as numpy-like arrays.
#14474: Fixed a regression where -k and -m expressions containing both backslash characters in identifiers and string literal arguments would incorrectly raise a SyntaxError about escaping.
#14483: Fixed JUnit XML report incorrectly escaping high Unicode codepoints (supplementary plane characters like emoji) in test failure messages. -- by EternalRights
#14492: Fixed Code.getargs() incorrectly including local variable names in the returned argument tuple for functions with *args and/or **kwargs. The method was using co_flags bitmask values (4 and 8) directly as counts instead of converting them to 1 via bool(), and was not accounting for co_kwonlyargcount when var=True.
#3697: Logging capture now works for non-propagating loggers.
Previously only logs which reached the root logger were captured.
This includes caplog and the "Captured log calls" test reporting.
#3850: Fixed JUnit XML report: the tests attribute of the <testsuite> element now always matches the number of <testcase> elements in the file. In some cases (test passes but fails during teardown) the tests attribute would report an incorrect number of testcases in the XML file.
#5848: pytest_fixture_post_finalizer is no longer called extra times for the same fixture teardown in some cases.
#719: Fixed @pytest.mark.parametrize <pytest.mark.parametrize ref> not unpacking single-element tuple values when using a string argnames with a trailing comma (e.g., "arg,").

The trailing comma form now correctly behaves like the tuple form ("arg",), treating argvalues as a list of tuples to unpack.

Improved documentation

#11022: Document safer alternatives and scope guidance for monkeypatching standard library functions.
#11307: Document that @pytest.hookimpl(specname=...) only works for function names starting with pytest_.
#13038: Document that doctests do not support parametrized fixtures, including parametrized autouse fixtures.
#13155: Clarified how the request fixture provides indirect parametrization values via request.param.
#13304: Clarified in the documentation that hook implementations defined in conftest.py files are not available to other plugins during their pytest_addoption() execution, as conftest files are discovered and loaded after builtin and third-party plugins have been initialized. However, initial conftest files themselves can implement pytest_addoption() to add their own command-line options.
#13902: Clarified how subtest progress markers are shown in the documentation.
#14012: The ini options ref section of the API Reference now specified the type and default value of every configuration option.
#14148: Documented a safe pytestconfig.cache access pattern when the
cacheprovider plugin is disabled.
#14303: The documentation is now built with Sphinx >= 9.
#14465: Updated the hooks how-to page to link the newhooks.py file in pytest-xdist at tag v3.8.0 instead of an unrelated 2017-era commit under the old layout. Pointing at a tag keeps the example in sync with the version users actually install, while remaining stable when the project's main branch moves on.

Miscellaneous internal changes

#14582: Improved the recursion traceback test to exercise all requested traceback styles.

pytest 9.0.3 (2026-04-07)

Bug fixes

#12444: Fixed pytest.approx which now correctly takes into account ~collections.abc.Mapping keys order to compare them.
#13634: Blocking a conftest.py file using the -p no: option is now explicitly disallowed.

Previously this resulted in an internal assertion failure during plugin loading.

Pytest now raises a clear UsageError explaining that conftest files are not plugins and cannot be disabled via -p.
#13734: Fixed crash when a test raises an exceptiongroup with __tracebackhide__ = True.
#14195: Fixed an issue where non-string messages passed to unittest.TestCase.subTest() were not printed.
#14343: Fixed use of insecure temporary directory (CVE-2025-71176).

Improved documentation

#13388: Clarified documentation for -p vs PYTEST_PLUGINS plugin loading and fixed an incorrect -p example.
#13731: Clarified that capture fixtures (e.g. capsys and capfd) take precedence over the -s / --capture=no command-line options in Accessing captured output from a test function <accessing-captured-output>.
#14088: Clarified that the default pytest_collection hook sets session.items before it calls pytest_collection_finish, not after.
#14255: TOML integer log levels must be quoted: Updating reference documentation.

Contributor-facing changes

#12689: The test reports are now published to Codecov from GitHub Actions.
The test statistics is visible on the web interface.

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>.

`v9.0.0`

Compare Source

pytest 9.0.0 (2025-11-05)

New features

#1367: Support for subtests has been added.

subtests <subtests> are an alternative to parametrization, useful in situations where the parametrization values are not all known at collection time.

Example:
```
def contains_docstring(p: Path) -> bool:
    """Return True if the given Python file contains a top-level docstring."""
    ...

def test_py_files_contain_docstring(subtests: pytest.Subtests) -> None:
    for path in Path.cwd().glob("*.py"):
        with subtests.test(path=str(path)):
            assert contains_docstring(path)
```
Each assert failure or error is caught by the context manager and reported individually, giving a clear picture of all files that are missing a docstring.

In addition, unittest.TestCase.subTest is now also supported.

This feature was originally implemented as a separate plugin in pytest-subtests, but since then has been merged into the core.

[!NOTE]
This feature is experimental and will likely evolve in future releases. By that we mean that we might change how subtests are reported on failure, but the functionality and how to use it are stable.
#13743: Added support for native TOML configuration files.

While pytest, since version 6, supports configuration in pyproject.toml files under [tool.pytest.ini_options],
it does so in an "INI compatibility mode", where all configuration values are treated as strings or list of strings.
Now, pytest supports the native TOML data model.

In pyproject.toml, the native TOML configuration is under the [tool.pytest] table.
```
# pyproject.toml
[tool.pytest]
minversion = "9.0"
addopts = ["-ra", "-q"]
testpaths = [
    "tests",
    "integration",
]
```
The [tool.pytest.ini_options] table remains supported, but both tables cannot be used at the same time.

If you prefer to use a separate configuration file, or don't use pyproject.toml, you can use pytest.toml or .pytest.toml:
```
# pytest.toml or .pytest.toml
[pytest]
minversion = "9.0"
addopts = ["-ra", "-q"]
testpaths = [
    "tests",
    "integration",
]
```
The documentation now (sometimes) shows configuration snippets in both TOML and INI formats, in a tabbed interface.

See config file formats for full details.
#13823: Added a "strict mode" enabled by the strict configuration option.

When set to true, the strict option currently enables
- strict_config
- strict_markers
- strict_parametrization_ids
- strict_xfail
The individual strictness options can be explicitly set to override the global strict setting.

The previously-deprecated --strict command-line flag now enables strict mode.

If pytest adds new strictness options in the future, they will also be enabled in strict mode.
Therefore, you should only enable strict mode if you use a pinned/locked version of pytest,
or if you want to proactively adopt new strictness options as they are added.

See strict mode for more details.
#13737: Added the strict_parametrization_ids configuration option.

When set, pytest emits an error if it detects non-unique parameter set IDs,
rather than automatically making the IDs unique by adding 0, 1, ... to them.
This can be particularly useful for catching unintended duplicates.
#13072: Added support for displaying test session progress in the terminal tab using the OSC 9;4; ANSI sequence.
When pytest runs in a supported terminal emulator like ConEmu, Gnome Terminal, Ptyxis, Windows Terminal, Kitty or Ghostty,
you'll see the progress in the terminal tab or window,
allowing you to monitor pytest's progress at a glance.

This feature is automatically enabled when running in a TTY. It is implemented as an internal plugin. If needed, it can be disabled as follows:
- On a user level, using -p no:terminalprogress on the command line or via an environment variable PYTEST_ADDOPTS='-p no:terminalprogress'.
- On a project configuration level, using addopts = "-p no:terminalprogress".
#478: Support PEP420 (implicit namespace packages) as --pyargs target when consider_namespace_packages is true in the config.

Previously, this option only impacted package imports, now it also impacts tests discovery.
#13678: Added a new faulthandler_exit_on_timeout configuration option set to "false" by default to let faulthandler interrupt the pytest process after a timeout in case of deadlock.

Previously, a faulthandler timeout would only dump the traceback of all threads to stderr, but would not interrupt the pytest process.

-- by ogrisel.
#13829: Added support for configuration option aliases via the aliases parameter in Parser.addini() <pytest.Parser.addini>.

Plugins can now register alternative names for configuration options,
allowing for more flexibility in configuration naming and supporting backward compatibility when renaming options.
The canonical name always takes precedence if both the canonical name and an alias are specified in the configuration file.

Improvements in existing functionality

#13330: Having pytest configuration spread over more than one file (for example having both a pytest.ini file and pyproject.toml with a [tool.pytest.ini_options] table) will now print a warning to make it clearer to the user that only one of them is actually used.

-- by sgaist
#13574: The single argument --version no longer loads the entire plugin infrastructure, making it faster and more reliable when displaying only the pytest version.

Passing --version twice (e.g., pytest --version --version) retains the original behavior, showing both the pytest version and plugin information.

[!NOTE]
Since --version is now processed early, it only takes effect when passed directly via the command line. It will not work if set through other mechanisms, such as PYTEST_ADDOPTS or addopts.
#13823: Added strict_xfail as an alias to the xfail_strict option,
strict_config as an alias to the --strict-config flag,
and strict_markers as an alias to the --strict-markers flag.
This makes all strictness options consistently have configuration options with the prefix strict_.
#13700: --junitxml no longer prints the generated xml file summary at the end of the pytest session when --quiet is given.
#13732: Previously, when filtering warnings, pytest would fail if the filter referenced a class that could not be imported. Now, this only outputs a message indicating the problem.
#13859: Clarify the error message for pytest.raises() when a regex match fails.
#13861: Better sentence structure in a test's expected error message. Previously, the error message would be "expected exception must be <expected>, but got <actual>". Now, it is "Expected <expected>, but got <actual>".

Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes

#12083: Fixed a bug where an invocation such as pytest a/ a/b would cause only tests from a/b to run, and not other tests under a/.

The fix entails a few breaking changes to how such overlapping arguments and duplicates are handled:
1. pytest a/b a/ or pytest a/ a/b are equivalent to pytest a; if an argument overlaps another arguments, only the prefix remains.
2. pytest x.py x.py is equivalent to pytest x.py; previously such an invocation was taken as an explicit request to run the tests from the file twice.
If you rely on these behaviors, consider using --keep-duplicates <duplicate-paths>, which retains its existing behavior (including the bug).
#13719: Support for Python 3.9 is dropped following its end of life.
#13766: Previously, pytest would assume it was running in a CI/CD environment if either of the environment variables $CI or $BUILD_NUMBER was defined;
now, CI mode is only activated if at least one of those variables is defined and set to a non-empty value.
#13779: PytestRemovedIn9Warning deprecation warnings are now errors by default.

Following our plan to remove deprecated features with as little disruption as
possible, all warnings of type PytestRemovedIn9Warning now generate errors
instead of warning messages by default.

The affected features will be effectively removed in pytest 9.1, so please consult the
deprecations section in the docs for directions on how to update existing code.

In the pytest 9.0.X series, it is possible to change the errors back into warnings as a
stopgap measure by adding this to your pytest.ini file:
```
[pytest]
filterwarnings =
    ignore::pytest.PytestRemovedIn9Warning
```
But this will stop working when pytest 9.1 is released.

If you have concerns about the removal of a specific feature, please add a
comment to 13779.

Deprecations (removal in next major release)

#13807: monkeypatch.syspath_prepend() <pytest.MonkeyPatch.syspath_prepend> now issues a deprecation warning when the prepended path contains legacy namespace packages (those using pkg_resources.declare_namespace()).
Users should migrate to native namespace packages (420).
See monkeypatch-fixup-namespace-packages for details.

Bug fixes

#13445: Made the type annotations of pytest.skip and friends more spec-complaint to have them work across more type checkers.
#13537: Fixed a bug in which ExceptionGroup with only Skipped exceptions in teardown was not handled correctly and showed as error.
#13598: Fixed possible collection confusion on Windows when short paths and symlinks are involved.
#13716: Fixed a bug where a nonsensical invocation like pytest x.py[a] (a file cannot be parametrized) was silently treated as pytest x.py. This is now a usage error.
#13722: Fixed a misleading assertion failure message when using pytest.approx on mappings with differing lengths.
#13773: Fixed the static fixture closure calculation to properly consider transitive dependencies requested by overridden fixtures.
#13816: Fixed pytest.approx which now returns a clearer error message when comparing mappings with different keys.
#13849: Hidden .pytest.ini files are now picked up as the config file even if empty.
This was an inconsistency with non-hidden pytest.ini.
#13865: Fixed --show-capture with --tb=line.
#13522: Fixed pytester in subprocess mode ignored all :attr`pytester.plugins <pytest.Pytester.plugins>` except the first.

Fixed pytester in subprocess mode silently ignored non-str pytester.plugins <pytest.Pytester.plugins>.
Now it errors instead.
If you are affected by this, specify the plugin by name, or switch the affected tests to use pytester.runpytest_inprocess <pytest.Pytester.runpytest_inprocess> explicitly instead.

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams

#13791: Minimum requirements on iniconfig and packaging were bumped to 1.0.1 and 22.0.0, respectively.

Contributor-facing changes

#12244: Fixed self-test failures when TERM=dumb.
#12474: Added scheduled GitHub Action Workflow to run Sphinx linkchecks in repo documentation.
#13621: pytest's own testsuite now handles the lsof command hanging (e.g. due to unreachable network filesystems), with the affected selftests being skipped after 10 seconds.
#13638: Fixed deprecated gh pr new command in scripts/prepare-release-pr.py.
The script now uses gh pr create which is compatible with GitHub CLI v2.0+.
#13695: Flush stdout and stderr in Pytester.run to avoid truncated outputs in test_faulthandler.py::test_timeout on CI -- by ogrisel.
#13771: Skip test_do_not_collect_symlink_siblings on Windows environments without symlink support to avoid false negatives.
#13841: tox>=4 is now required when contributing to pytest.
#13625: Added missing docstrings to pytest_addoption(), pytest_configure(), and cacheshow() functions in cacheprovider.py.

Miscellaneous internal changes

#13830: Configuration overrides (-o/--override-ini) are now processed during startup rather than during config.getini() <pytest.Config.getini>.

⚠️ Artifact update problem

Renovate failed to update an artifact related to this branch. You probably do not want to merge this PR as-is.

♻ Renovate will retry this branch, including artifacts, only when one of the following happens:

any of the package files in this branch needs updating, or
the branch becomes conflicted, or
you click the rebase/retry checkbox if found above, or
you rename this PR's title to start with "rebase!" to trigger it manually

The artifact failure details are included below:

File name: uv.lock

Command failed: uv lock --upgrade-package pytest
warning: The `tool.uv.dev-dependencies` field (used in `pyproject.toml`) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release; use `dependency-groups.dev` instead
Using CPython 3.14.6 interpreter at: /opt/containerbase/tools/python/3.14.6/bin/python3
  × No solution found when resolving dependencies for split (markers:
  │ python_full_version == '3.9.*'; included: pytest-time[group:lint-38];
  │ excluded: pytest-time[group:lint]):
  ╰─▶ Because the requested Python version (>=3.8) does not satisfy
      Python>=3.10 and pytest>=9.0.0 depends on Python>=3.10, we can conclude
      that pytest>=9.0.0 cannot be used.
      And because only the following versions of pytest are available:
          pytest<=9.0.0
          pytest==9.0.1
          pytest==9.0.2
          pytest==9.0.3
          pytest==9.1.0
          pytest==9.1.1
      we can conclude that pytest>=9.0.0 cannot be used.
      And because pytest-time:lint-38 depends on pytest>=9 and your project
      requires pytest-time:lint-38, we can conclude that your project's
      requirements are unsatisfiable.

hint: While the active Python version is 3.14, the resolution failed for other Python versions supported by your project. Consider limiting your project's supported Python versions using `requires-python`.
hint: The `requires-python` value (>=3.8) includes Python versions that are not supported by your dependencies (e.g., pytest>=9.0.0 only supports >=3.10). Consider using a more restrictive `requires-python` value (like >=3.10).
