New point version.

pytest 8.4.2 (2025-09-03)

Bug fixes

• Fixed a crash when using console_output_style with times and a module is skipped.

• Fixed a crash when using pytest.approx() and decimal.Decimal instances with the decimal.FloatOperation trap set.

• No longer evaluate type annotations in Python 3.14 when inspecting function signatures.

This prevents crashes during module collection when modules do not explicitly use from future import annotations and import types for annotations within a if TYPE_CHECKING: block.

• Added missing int and float variants to the Literal type annotation of the type parameter in pytest.Parser.addini().

• pytest.approx() now only imports numpy if NumPy is already in sys.modules. This fixes unconditional import behavior introduced in 8.4.0.

Improved documentation

• Clarify that pytest_generate_tests is discovered in test modules/classes; other hooks must be in conftest.py or plugins.

Contributor-facing changes

• Self-testing: fixed a few test failures when run with -Wdefault or a similar override.

• Self-testing: corrected expected message for test_doctest_unexpected_exception in Python 3.14.

• Make pytest’s own testsuite insensitive to the presence of the CI environment variable.
