Dependency Conflict: Meraki 1.56.0 requires pytest <8.0.0, but pytest 8.3.5 is installed

[Behdadhp]

Description
I recently updated meraki to version 1.56.0 and encountered a dependency conflict with pytest. The error message I received is:

The user requested pytest==8.3.5
meraki 1.56.0 depends on pytest<8.0.0 and >=7.2.1

It seems that meraki does not support pytest>=8.0.0, which causes issues when using the latest version of pytest.

Python version installed
Python 3.11.4

Meraki library version installed
meraki 1.56.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a fresh virtual environment (optional but recommended):

python -m venv test-env
source test-env/bin/activate  # On Windows, use test-env\Scripts\activate

2. Install pytest latest version:

pip install pytest==8.3.5

3. Install meraki latest version:

pip install meraki

4. Observe the dependency conflict error.

Expected behavior
Meraki should ideally support the latest version of pytest or provide a clear workaround.

Suggested Solution

• Update meraki dependencies to allow pytest>=8.0.0 if compatible.
• If pytest 8.x is not yet supported, clarify the roadmap or recommend a compatible test setup.
