Path forward to pytest 4?

[bsamuel-ui]

As of pytest 4.1.1 it looks like yield tests are gone, and the machinery supporting them removed. Is there a solution to this?

Unfortunately, starting from pytest==4.1 generators become deprecated. Of course I can write logic to ignore that behaviour, ignore UserWarnings and unmark tests as skipped, but it would be a hack rather than normal solution.
The way I see is moving to real coroutines with async/await syntax. But it will work only with python3

For what it's worth, my use case for this is to run a battery of tests against a service. So we're not interested in testing multiple versions of python, let alone python 2.

If someone wanted to use this package, and needed tests to work under python 2, a shim like this and sufficiently awful tox.ini would let them work with a python 2 compatible pytest-yield:

if is_3:
    from asyncio import coroutine
else:
    coroutine = lambda func: coroutine

@coroutine
def test_mytest():
     assert a_thing()
     yield  # from something_awaitable()? Can probably simulate that too
     assert another_thing()
