I'm using pytest==4.0.2.

This seems to cause the problem above.\n\nSwitching back to attrs==19.1.0 fixes the problem. Just do the following:\n\npip install attrs==19.1.0\n\nNOTE: I expect that the issue will be resolved either by attrs or pytest soon by releasing a new version. So this fix should only be temporary.\n\nFrom the comments: This error does not occur on the newer versions of pytest i.e. pytest==5.2.0","confidence":0.95,"source":"stackoverflow","source_url":"https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58189683/typeerror-attrib-got-an-unexpected-keyword-argument-convert","votes":84,"created_at":"2026-04-19T04:52:04.240876+00:00","updated_at":"2026-04-19T04:52:04.240876+00:00"}
