I'm sorry, I didn't patch msys2 correctly. But I'm also working on tests for the msys2 version, so it avoids these errors. I ended up discovering other errors with this #2367.
I'm waiting for the pytest-datafiles package to become available and then I'll send a new patch.

@marcelotduarte thanks for your help!

I'm waiting for the pytest-datafiles package to become available and then I'll send a new patch.

For anyone else wondering how or when pytest-datafiles will be available:

• it's in the queue at https://packages.msys2.org/queue as package mingw-w64-python-pytest-datafiles with status "Ready for upload but waiting for dependencies"
• I'm not sure what could be missing in terms of dependencies, package PKGBUILD is at https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-python-pytest-datafiles/PKGBUILD if you want to check for yourself.
