AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '_registry' with pytest 5.3.0

Hi there,

I run pytest with pytest-parallel (v 0.0.9) in a Gitlab CI-Pipeline. Without changing my code the pipeline jobs stopped working. The only thing that change was the pytest version from 5.2.4 to 5.3.0.

Also the pipeline job doesn’t seem to stop. It’s stuck in the status running until I cancel it.

The failed command is: - python setup.py install && pytest --workers 4 where setup.py install is our project specific setup script.

The hopefully relevant output:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '_registry'

When the --workers 4 was removed the CI pipeline didn’t fail.

To avoid this we now fixed the pytest version to 5.2.4.

I also created an issue at pytest: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/6254

I hope I could help.

Best regards

Hi there, with pytest-parallel version 0.0.10 it now works.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks @blueyed! I’ll go through them this afternoon.
