@rtibbles how do i approach this one. How I amd doing is going through https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/changelog.html and checking for the Removals.

There are two ways of doing it - you can go through the changelog and check for removals, or you can just do the upgrade and then run pytest locally to see what breaks!

I would suggest a hybrid strategy - get a good sense of what has changed in the Changelog, and if you can see any obvious things that you can preempt that might be a problem with the upgrade, try to fix those alongside the initial upgrade. Then try out running pytest and see what breaks to start to fix it.

To reduce your iteration time, you can also run pytest with only a single test file (it shouldn't matter too much which one it is, but maybe try a couple).

Fixed in #11759
