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 <span class="title-ref">FooError()</span> which was paired with <span class="title-ref">BarError</span>" messages.
• \#14591: Fixed a regression in pytest 9.1.0 which caused overriding a parametrized fixture with an indirect <span class="title-ref">@pytest.mark.parametrize</span> 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.

The `pytest` framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet

scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries.

An example of a simple test:

.. code-block:: python

# content of test_sample.py

def inc(x):

return x + 1

def test_answer():

assert inc(3) == 5

To execute it::

$ pytest

============================= test session starts =============================

collected 1 items

test_sample.py F

================================== FAILURES ===================================

_________________________________ test_answer _________________________________

def test_answer():

assert inc(3) == 5

E assert 4 == 5

E + where 4 = inc(3)

test_sample.py:5: AssertionError

========================== 1 failed in 0.04 seconds ===========================

Thanks to `pytest's detailed assertion introspection, you can simply use plain assert statements. See getting-started <https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/getting-started.html#our-first-test-run>`_ for more examples.

<https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/explanation/goodpractices.html#python-test-discovery>`_

of test modules and functions

• Modular fixtures <https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/explanation/fixtures.html>_ for

managing small or parametrized long-lived test resources

• Can run unittest <https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/how-to/unittest.html>_ (or trial)

test suites out of the box

• Python 3.10+ or PyPy3

• Rich plugin architecture, with over 1300+ external plugins <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/reference/plugin_list.html>_ and thriving community
