AttributeError: 'Function' object has no attribute 'get_closest_marker'

[gshif]

Have a question. I am running python 2.7.14 with pytest 3.0.7 on MAC
I am always seeing an error:

INTERNALERROR>   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytest_github/plugin.py", line 323, in pytest_itemcollected
INTERNALERROR>     marker = item.get_closest_marker('github')
INTERNALERROR> AttributeError: 'Function' object has no attribute 'get_closest_marker'

Any help would be greatly appreciated

@kdelee Would you mind taking a look at this one? Appears related to the recent get_closest_marker changes.

Hi @jlaska, @kdelee,
I just wanted to follow up on my original question whether you were able to take a look at the error.
Thanks.

@gshif 👋 hey just now noticing this! Will take a look.

Can you confirm what version of pytest you have installed? I'm 99% sure you have an old version of pytest installed.

I made these updates due to the fact that the old way of getting these markers was deprecated.
Here's the docs about how to update the code that I used:
https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/mark.html#update-marker-code
Here's the PR that removed the old functionality: pytest-dev/pytest#4564
Here's the first commit I could find that had the new functionality: pytest-dev/pytest@4914135

I am guessing that means the new function became a thing around 3.6.0 time period.
I started seeing the depreciation warnings around the 3.10 time period.
It breaks if you don't have this update in 4.0.

If you are not able to update to pytest 4.0 because of other changes, try pytest 3.10.

Thanks @kdelee,

sounds like this can get closed (I don't have power to do that)
