Release Notes

pytest-dev/pytest-bdd (pytest-bdd)

v9.0.0

Compare Source

Added
+++++

Changed
+++++++

• Relaxed gherkin-official dependency requirement to >=29.0.0 to allow for newer versions of the gherkin-official package.
• Excluded gherkin-official 31.0.0 and 32.0.0, which crash with StopIteration when parsing empty descriptions (fixed upstream in 32.0.1).
• The --gherkin-terminal-reporter incompatibility errors (with another terminal reporter or with xdist) are now raised as pytest.UsageError instead of a bare Exception.

Deprecated
++++++++++

Removed
+++++++

• Dropped support for python 3.9 (end-of-life, and its locked dev dependencies had unfixable security alerts). Supported python versions: 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14.
• The following private attributes are not available anymore (#&#8203;658 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-bdd/pull/658>_):
  • _pytest.reports.TestReport.scenario; replaced by pytest_bdd.reporting.test_report_context WeakKeyDictionary (internal use)
  • __scenario__ attribute of test functions generated by the @scenario (and @scenarios) decorator; replaced by pytest_bdd.scenario.scenario_wrapper_template_registry WeakKeyDictionary (internal use)
  • _pytest.nodes.Item.__scenario_report__; replaced by pytest_bdd.reporting.scenario_reports_registry WeakKeyDictionary (internal use)
  • _pytest_bdd_step_context attribute of internal test function markers; replaced by pytest_bdd.steps.step_function_context_registry WeakKeyDictionary (internal use)

Fixed
+++++

• Backslashes in datatable and examples table cells are no longer over-quoted. A cell containing a single backslash now reaches the step as a single backslash, matching the Gherkin escaping rules. If you compensated by doubling backslashes in feature files, undo that. #&#8203;769 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-bdd/issues/769>_
• Made type annotations stronger and removed most of the typing.Any usages and # type: ignore annotations. #&#8203;658 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-bdd/pull/658>_
• Empty docstrings are now correctly forwarded to step functions as an empty string instead of being silently dropped, which previously caused pytest to report a missing docstring fixture. #&#8203;809 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-bdd/issues/809>_
• Injecting a target_fixture no longer emits PytestRemovedIn10Warning on pytest 9.1+, which deprecated passing nodeid to _register_fixture. #&#8203;823 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-bdd/issues/823>_

Security
