Pytest has not attribute `StashKey`

[EngineerHus]

Hi All,

On our CI environment, we have been running our pytests for some time now, but weirdly now, we are seeing an error, which is AttributeError: module 'pytest' has no attribute 'StashKey'

We are running pytest with version 5.3.5 so my initial thought was maybe due to the 2 recent releases last week, maybe StashKey is not supported anymore so I had to do trial and error by installing different pytest versions and finding out which is the oldest pytest version that still supports this.

As of now, the oldest pytest version that supports StashKey seems to be 7.0.0. Could one of the devs please maybe update the docs so future pytesters would be able to figure this out?

Thanks

Not sure what happened in your case, but pytest.StashKey is still available.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I am not saying StashKey isn't available in general, I meant that it is not available for pytest 5.3.5 anymore. On pytest 7.0.0+, the StashKey seems to be still available
