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.

Hi @Behdadhp thank you for this report. Would you mind please testing the library using the repo's tests folder on your version of pytest 8.x and let me know if you have any issues?

Tested myself and didn't see any issue with the newer version of pytest. Updated requirements.

Resolved in 4e2ec1a; fix will be included in the next library version (likely 2.0.3).
