This error occurred during automated testing of a python project on the CI server using pytest
. I'm using pytest==4.0.2
. This error only just started to occur, previous pipelines seem to work fine.
The full error:
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/_pytest/tmpdir.py", line 35, in TempPathFactory
lambda p: Path(os.path.abspath(six.text_type(p)))
TypeError: attrib() got an unexpected keyword argument 'convert'
Best Answer
pytest
seems to have the packageattrs
as a dependency.attrs==19.2.0
was released around2019-10-01 17:00 UTC
. This seems to cause the problem above.Switching back to
attrs==19.1.0
fixes the problem. Just do the following:NOTE: I expect that the issue will be resolved either by
attrs
orpytest
soon by releasing a new version. So this fix should only be temporary.UPDATE: Moving the comment into the answer. This error does not occur on the newer versions of pytest i.e.
pytest==5.2.0
