--version writes to stderr #8246
Description
Hello,
When calling pytest --version, Pytest writes the version to stderr, which should be stdout I think. This is a problem to create automation tooling around it.
Example :
import subprocess
res = subprocess.run(["pytest", "--version"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
res
> CompletedProcess(args=['pytest', '--version'], returncode=0, stdout=b'', stderr=b'pytest 6.1.2\r\n')Context :
Pytest 6.1.2
