The Pytest module automatically installed by Poetry is outdated

• I am on the latest Poetry version.

• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

Issue

After a poetry new, Poetry installs Pytest, but the installed version is 3.10.3, the current Pytest version is 5.4.3.

It took me a while to find out that outdated pytest dependency causes an issue in my newly created projects. I wrote about my current detour in a blog post.

The new command is more a convenience. This means that it is the responsibility of the project maintainer to update their dependencies.

As a quick fix you can simply do poetry add -D pytest@latest. And it should update to the latest version of pytest.

In the long run, the new command will no longer add any dependencies by default and leave that to the maintainers. (#2768).

Closing this as this is not really an issue that needs any further action at the moment.
