pytest 9.0.2 (2025-12-06)

Bug fixes

• The terminal progress feature added in pytest 9.0.0 has been disabled by default, except on Windows, due to compatibility issues with some terminal emulators.
  • You may enable it again by passing -p terminalprogress. We may enable it by default again once compatibility improves in the future.
  • Additionally, when the environment variable TERM is dumb, the escape codes are no longer emitted, even if the plugin is enabled.

• Fixed the TOML type of the :confval:tmp_path_retention_count settings in the API reference from number to string.

• The private config.inicfg attribute was changed in a breaking manner in pytest 9.0.0. Due to its usage in the ecosystem, it is now restored to working order using a compatibility shim. It will be deprecated in pytest 9.1 and removed in pytest 10.

• Fixed quadratic-time behavior when handling unittest subtests in Python 3.10.

Improved documentation

• The API Reference now contains cross-reference-able documentation of :ref:pytest's command-line flags <command-line-flags>.
