GitHub issue #2901: Incompatibility with pytest
State: closed | Created: 2021-09-13T19:12:17Z

## Describe the bug

pytest complains about xpathopen / path.open("w")

## Steps to reproduce the bug

Create a test file, `test.py`:

```python
import datasets as ds
def load_dataset():
    ds.load_dataset("counter", split="train", streaming=True)
```

And launch it with pytest:

```bash
python -m pytest test.py
```

## Expected results

It should give something like:

```
