Bump the major group with 2 updates

[dependabot]

Updates the requirements on pytest and matplotlib to permit the latest version.
Updates pytest from 7.2.2 to 8.1.1

Release notes

Sourced from pytest's releases.

8.1.1

pytest 8.1.1 (2024-03-08)

::: {.note} ::: {.title} Note :::

This release is not a usual bug fix release -- it contains features and improvements, being a follow up to 8.1.0, which has been yanked from PyPI. :::

Features

• #11475: Added the new consider_namespace_packages{.interpreted-text role="confval"} configuration option, defaulting to False.

  If set to True, pytest will attempt to identify modules that are part of namespace packages when importing modules.

• #11653: Added the new verbosity_test_cases{.interpreted-text role="confval"} configuration option for fine-grained control of test execution verbosity. See Fine-grained verbosity <pytest.fine_grained_verbosity>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for more details.

Improvements

• #10865: pytest.warns{.interpreted-text role="func"} now validates that warnings.warn{.interpreted-text role="func"} was called with a [str]{.title-ref} or a [Warning]{.title-ref}. Currently in Python it is possible to use other types, however this causes an exception when warnings.filterwarnings{.interpreted-text role="func"} is used to filter those warnings (see [CPython #103577](python/cpython#103577) for a discussion). While this can be considered a bug in CPython, we decided to put guards in pytest as the error message produced without this check in place is confusing.

• #11311: When using --override-ini for paths in invocations without a configuration file defined, the current working directory is used as the relative directory.

  Previoulsy this would raise an AssertionError{.interpreted-text role="class"}.

• #11475: --import-mode=importlib <import-mode-importlib>{.interpreted-text role="ref"} now tries to import modules using the standard import mechanism (but still without changing :pysys.path{.interpreted-text role="data"}), falling back to importing modules directly only if that fails.

  This means that installed packages will be imported under their canonical name if possible first, for example app.core.models, instead of having the module name always be derived from their path (for example .env310.lib.site_packages.app.core.models).

• #11801: Added the iter_parents() <_pytest.nodes.Node.iter_parents>{.interpreted-text role="func"} helper method on nodes. It is similar to listchain <_pytest.nodes.Node.listchain>{.interpreted-text role="func"}, but goes from bottom to top, and returns an iterator, not a list.

• #11850: Added support for sys.last_exc{.interpreted-text role="data"} for post-mortem debugging on Python>=3.12.

• #11962: In case no other suitable candidates for configuration file are found, a pyproject.toml (even without a [tool.pytest.ini_options] table) will be considered as the configuration file and define the rootdir.

• #11978: Add --log-file-mode option to the logging plugin, enabling appending to log-files. This option accepts either "w" or "a" and defaults to "w".

  Previously, the mode was hard-coded to be "w" which truncates the file before logging.
