This is because I removed
pytest-filter-subpackageas an unused dependency. Is it good enough for you to require it manually ?neutrinoceros commentedon Jul 30, 2026
btw I'm not sure I understand what value this plugin adds when one can achieve the same thing with
pytest {astropy,docs}/unitsastrofrog commentedon Jul 30, 2026
I use this too - and like using it in combination with tox, so e.g.
not sure that passing the paths as you suggest would work since tox might be in a temp directory. Could we reinstate this? There was strong demand for this plugin when we deprecated astropy-helpers.
(requiring it manually would require editing the tox file)

It could easily be re-added as part of a dependency-group that all tox envs would require. Would that be satisfactory ?

I think just re-adding it as a test dependency would make the most sense. I know @pllim usually just creates a virtual enviroment and then does something like
pip install .[test].pllim commentedon Jul 30, 2026
We should just add it back as a proper test dependency. It is a lightweight package and maintained by our own project.
