Pytest emits deprecation warning: "A private pytest class or function was used"

[allanlewis]

I'm using pytest-bdd 7.0.1 and was bumping my sub-dependencies. With Pytest 8 I started to get a warning caused by this line: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-bdd/blob/7.0.1/src/pytest_bdd/steps.py#L211-L218

pytest.PytestDeprecationWarning: A private pytest class or function was used.

The root cause appears to be this change in Pytest.

As of pytest 8.1.x this is now a hard fail as the internals have changed:

TypeError: FixtureDef.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'fixturemanager'

I was about to open a new issue about the FixtureDef failure. Downgrading pytest to 8.0.2 seems to be the best option for now.

Fixed in #680. I just released version 7.1.2 with the fix.

Note: You will still see the warning with pytest 8.0, but if you bump to 8.1 then you shouldn't see it anymore.
