[YANKED] pytest 8.1.0 removes many deprecations, but not mentioned in changelog

#11757 is not mentioned as a breaking change for the Pytest 8.1.0 Release in https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/changelog.html ; it breaks plugins who were still supporting the older signature.

I'm opening this issue as a hint to others; is it possible to update the changelog after a release?

this is a duplicate of #12068

the removal process itself is as intended, the oversight was that warnings of certain hooks where not displayed as expected

leaving this open for now to help people
the fact that it wasn't failing on 8.0 is the actual bug

@RonnyPfannschmidt

@RonnyPfannschmidt @nicoddemus since we botched the deprecation, perhaps we should revert the removal until we can have at least one release with proper deprecation?

should we yank 8.1 for the deprecation issues?

lets defer the return of code a bit as i'd like to know first how to trigger the errors

I think it is fair to postpone the removals if we did not issue the proper warnings, as we vouch to do before any removals took place.

Those removals would then have to be postponed to 9.0/9.1 then.

Not sure if you folks would like to yank 8.1? Seems reasonable.

@RonnyPfannschmidt

Reverting + releasing 8.1.1 should not be a problem, but if @RonnyPfannschmidt wants to avoid a revert, let's yank as it seems to be causing a lot of failures.

lets yank and revert then

I'm yanking it.

@nicoddemus

Thanks @nicoddemus!

@RonnyPfannschmidt do you want me to revert the removal, or do you want to?

Opening PR to update the CHANGELOG.

Yank version 8.1.0

Dear maintainers and devs, thank you for all that you do and the quick response! 💖

Edit: it seems I misunderstood how yanking works.

@sigma67

@sigma67 No, if you pin the exact version, it should successfully install even if yanked. This is the famous "left-pad" issue.

@bluetech

@bluetech is correct AIFAK: yanking is not removing, the package is still available if you explicitly ask for it, for example:

Even though 8.1.0 was yanked -- locked dependencies should be fine then.

Yup, I can confirm that poetry-locked yanked dependencies install just fine and merely emit a warning

Is it expected to 8.1.1 proper warn about the deprecation?

The pytest-ruff don't trigger any deprecation warning. I don't know if it is expected or if I have to test it better.

@iurisilvio

@iurisilvio No, we still need to work on fixing the deprecation.

But you can test with the yanked 8.1.0 for now, if it works you're clear 😄

Thanks! I'll test with 8.1.0!

8.1.1 didn't revert all the removals, right? The _pytest.runner.call_runtest_hook removal is still waiving at me insistently using pytest 8.1.1.

Edit: I've remembered that that's private API so I guess it gets the well what did you expect? treatment.

No, we only reverted those two removals:

The rationale being that we were not warning about those deprecations.

call_runtest_hook was never deprecated because it was an internal API, which we do not guarantee stability across releases.

I guess it gets the well what did you expect? treatment.

Well perhaps not being so harsh 😁, but yes, we reserve the right to break those when we improve the internal code.
