Internal error in `pytest` when using `pytest-github-actions-annotate-failures` v0.3.0

[ganow]

Thank you for developing a great piece of software. I am using pytest-github-actions-annotate-failures in our GitHub Actions workflow.

Recently, I encountered an issue where a previously working workflow stopped functioning due to an internal error in pytest. After investigating, I found that this issue only occurs only when pytest-github-actions-annotate-failures v0.3.0 is installed, and it does not happen with v0.2.0.

Note that I have determined that this issue occurs only when running a specific test case within the repository we are developing. However, I have not yet identified the exact part of the codebase that triggers the internal error. As a result, I have not been able to create a minimal reproducible example from the codebase.

This issue is causing me difficulties, and I would really appreciate any insights or suggestions that could help resolve it. Below is the error message that appears when using v0.3.0. If there is any additional information I can provide to help diagnose the issue, please let me know. I would also appreciate it if you could let me know if there is any issue with how I am using the plugin. Thank you.

Hey @ganow, thanks for reporting!

In the meantime, can you try running pytest with the --exclude-warning-annotations option?

     - name: Test with pytest
-      run: pytest
+      run: pytest --exclude-warning-annotations

Hi @edgarrmondragon! Thank you for a quick response!

can you try running pytest with the --exclude-warning-annotations option?

I'm sorry for not mentioning this earlier, but I actually tried a similar option before. When I ran pytest with the -p no:warnings option, I didn't encounter the internal error even I used v0.3.0.

     - name: Test with pytest
-      run: pytest
+      run: pytest -p no:warnings

Should I check the --exclude-warning-annotations option, too?

Updated: I didn't see the internal error when I ran pytest with the --exclude-warning-annotations option (tested on my local laptop with act, Python version to be tested: 3.11.11)

I'm getting a similar error, but with this:

INTERNALERROR>   File "/home/runner/work/devpi/devpi/postgresql/.tox/py39-server680/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pytest_github_actions_annotate_failures/plugin.py", line 127, in pytest_warning_recorded
INTERNALERROR>     message=warning_message.message.args[0],
INTERNALERROR> AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'args'

I'm still investigating what is causing it.

[fschulze]

My code under test uses pluggy and has deprecated hooks (see https://pluggy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#warnings-on-hook-implementation). Those deprecation warnings seem to cause warning_message.message to be a str in pytest somehow.

[fschulze]

Looking at the warnings.py source it seems like it always converts the message to a string. So I think the code here should be:

message=str(warning_message.message)

instead of accessing args[0].
