Cannot collect tests : pytest.PytestDeprecationWarning

Description

I have no idea what's happened to my setup, but suddenly nothing is working. I tried now started entirely from scratch, including removing my ~/.astropy and making a fresh env for testing.

Test collection fails early with:

ERROR  - pytest.PytestDeprecationWarning: direct construction of DocTestModulePlus has been deprecated, please use DocTestModulePlus.from_parent

Hey,
Just started playing around with this repo yesterday,
I'm getting the same error with a slightly different approach.

Forked this repo.
Cloned it to my local machine
'pip install -e .'
pip install -e .[test]'

-python

import astropy
astropy.test()

Also, I don't know if this is a related issue or not, but when I try to run the tests from setup.py with:
python setup.py test

I get the error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'extension_helpers'

I'm using:
Python 3.7.6
Ubuntu 1804
gcc (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0
Numpy 1.18.3
astropy 4.1.dev1534+g7d2a91538.d20200502

@taldcroft

@taldcroft , please downgrade to pytest 5.3

@iamsoto

@iamsoto , pip install extension-helpers

@taldcroft

@taldcroft - I'm having the same issue - the other option is to temporarily remove error in the pytest section of setup.cfg.

If we do not have them already, I guess we should be having some cron CI runs on our pytest extensions with pytest-dev - pytest seems to break things quite regularly.

Shouldn't the documented pip install command install an acceptable version of pytest?

Let's close this as duplicate of #10039. The issue is with the plugin, which has been fixed, but other issues arose with its new release, thus the release has been reverted to avoid confusion about CI failures during the postponed feature freeze frenzy. Now the discussion is ongoing about the right way to proceed in a few other recent issues and PRs.

As a workaround please downgrade and use pytest 5.3 for now.

Shouldn't the documented pip install command install an acceptable version of pytest?

The docs certainly can point out the very pinfile tox uses for CI. Duplicating the pinnings in the docs I don't think is practical though.

If we do not have them already, I guess we should be having some cron CI runs on our pytest extensions with pytest-dev - pytest seems to break things quite regularly.

We indeed do keep an eye on new versions, both pytest and sphinx releases are reported on slack, and this issue is widely known an talked about a bit, and in fact fixed, but given this week wasn't the calmest; rolling out the fix has been reverted as other issues have came to light due to the fix.

@bsipocz

@bsipocz - absolutely, and no worries!

This is all a bit beyond me, but is it possible to have pinned test dependencies that get installed via pip install -e .[test]? It just seems that this basic thing of installing an environment which is known to succeed for astropy tests should be stable and reproducible and not suddenly break when package X puts out a new release. From my perspective in doing astropy development, I really don't care about the particular package versions so long as things are stable.

I suppose in this situation the best would indeed be to use tox to handle all the installations and environments. I don't think these temporary limitations are within scope of setup.cfg, but these version issues are taken care of in the tox.ini and upstream in ci-helpers, and the tox environments are known to be working (as CI relies on them, too).

To be honest I don't understand what you said at all (in particular the second sentence). I'll say that tox -e test ... is not acceptable for day-to-day development work. It takes well over a minute every time to run a single test, so this makes writing tests impossible for me given how frequently I need to iterate on them.

What I also don't understand is that this issue is labeled a duplicate of #10039, but that issue is also closed but there is a real active problem at this moment, namely a user comes along and precisely follows the testing documentation instructions and then tests cannot be run. So I don't follow all the details but don't understand how the user is supposed to know to downgrade pytest.

Maybe a more useful question is - how can I make an interactive working environment that is the same as what tox -e test creates?

I am in a state right now where tox -e test -- -P io.ascii works just fine but pytest astropy/io/ascii fails to even launch with: astropy.utils.exceptions.AstropyWarning: leap-second auto-update failed due to the following exception: IERSStaleWarning('leap-second file is expired.',)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Interrupted: 1 error during collection !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I am getting with the environment I created in the original description, but with pytest downgraded to 5.3. I don't get that error before #10210, but that might be a red-herring to some other problem.

That issue is closed as this is upstream, a compatibility issue between pytest-doctestplus 0.5 and pytest 5.4. We do close all other unrelated upstream issues and report them in the relevant upstream repos instead, too, I don't see why testing related ones should be different.

To reuse the env: tox creates a .tox directory for the virtualenvs inside. Run tox once to set up everything and then you can manually run the activate script to bring up the same environment and then iterate on the individual tests.

the version limitations otherwise live in this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/astropy/ci-helpers/master/pip_pinnings.txt

@taldcroft

@taldcroft , it wasn't explicitly documented because it's a temporary problem that is hopefully fixed by now (?). The timing of freeze and breakage coinciding was really unfortunate. On hindsight, maybe there should have been a pinned issue about it.

Also we turn all warnings into error in setup.cfg to avoid technical debt piling up again. We had it off for years and then fixing the 2000+ warnings wasn't very fun. Thank you for your understanding.

Absolutely need to have error in setup.cfg - I think the main problem really is pytest moving quite fast (and it is getting nicer and nicer, no complaints there), which makes it hard to keep up for plugins. Plus, frankly a bug in pytest for not allowing one to silence deprecation errors outside of the code one is actually testing! (in the init phase). Anyway, definitely going to ensure you don't have to go through all those warnings again!!!!

I also completely agree on turning warnings into errors, that was never in question.

I have been just suggesting that the environment installed by pip install -e .[test] include at least some pinning (in particular on pytest which seems notorious for breaking things in ways that are inscrutable) so that local developer testing does not break suddenly for mysterious reasons.

And don't get me wrong, I stand in awe and admiration for the infrastructure team doing all these things I can't even imagine and fighting the constant battle to keep it all together. It's just a tough position where anything less than perfect can end up being a show-stopper.

Was about to add to this, but really this is best done in a new issue - #10303. If someone explains how to do it there, I'll volunteer for adding it to the documentation.
