I'm stymied by a pytest-related bug. I thought it was a bug in a particular pytest plugin (pytest-order), but it's now shown up in another pytest plugin as well, so I wonder if either there's a bug in pytest 8.x or something subtle has changed that requires a modification to the plugins. I couldn't see anything obvious on the pytest changelog page, and the error message itself is mysterious to me. The bug does not show with pytest 7.4.4, so it is certainly related to the new pytest version.
It occurs when running a script from within a test, and the error is when collecting the tests. Here is an example, taking from the report I filed at https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-order/issues/110 ______________________________ ERROR collecting . ______________________________ /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pluggy/_hooks.py:501: in __call__ return self._hookexec(self.name, self._hookimpls.copy(), kwargs, firstresult) /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pluggy/_manager.py:119: in _hookexec return self._inner_hookexec(hook_name, methods, kwargs, firstresult) /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_pytest/python.py:211: in pytest_collect_directory if pkginit.is_file(): /usr/lib/python3.12/pathlib.py:894: in is_file return S_ISREG(self.stat().st_mode) /usr/lib/python3.12/pathlib.py:842: in stat return os.stat(self, follow_symlinks=follow_symlinks) E PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/tmp/systemd-private-2dd08cf217854d6285343c302b696375-systemd-logind.service-qOgrXp/__init__.py' (That page also has the full autopkgtest log.) I have no idea why it is looking at this private systemd directory; it's running under autopkgtest so HOME should be sane. Any ideas would be much appreciated, as I would be able to use it to fix the tests on the other plugin I'm working on as well. Best wishes, Julian
