09/09/2026, 2:57 AMpytest_collection_modifyitems hook, guaranteeing that the shuffle runs before all other plugins’ implementations of the hook.
Previously, pytest-randomly shuffled in a plain tryfirst hook implementation.
When another plugin also implemented the hook with tryfirst, as pytest-django does, whichever plugin pytest happened to register later ran first.
Registration order comes from package metadata on disk, which can differ between seemingly identical environments — even two containers built from the same Dockerfile, or the same virtual environment after reinstalling a package.
As a result, the same seed could yield different test orders in different environments.
Worse, in environments where pytest-randomly ended up shuffling last, it silently destroyed the other plugin’s ordering — for pytest-django, the grouping of database tests that mirrors Django’s test runner (non-transactional database tests, then transactional ones, then the rest).
Now the shuffle always runs first, and plugins that group tests with a stable sort apply their grouping on top of the shuffled order, so the final order is reproducible from the seed alone.
In environments that previously hit the reversed hook order, upgrading changes the test order for a given seed — restoring both reproducibility and other plugins’ grouping.
`PR #​746 https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-randomly/pull/746`*.*
Thanks to milssky for the report in Issue #​701 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-randomly/issues/701>.
• Require pytest 8+, the first version to require a version of pluggy that supports hook wrappers, as used by the above fix.
`PR #​746 https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-randomly/pull/746`__.
• Reset `Polyfactory https://polyfactory.litestar.dev/`__\’s default random state at the start of every test, if it is installed.
Thanks to Rahul Kumar in `PR #​735 https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-randomly/issues/735`__.
• Switch package build backend from setuptools to `uv_build https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/build-backend/`__.
This makes builds with uv about nine times faster, since uv runs the backend natively, without creating a build environment or spawning a Python process.
Additionally, source distributions no longer include test files, which setuptools previously included incompletely, missing the files needed to actually run them.
