9.0.0

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)
