This works:

>>> import pytest
>>> pytest.approx(5.)
5.0 ± 5.0e-06

This doesn't work:

>>> import pytest; import numpy as np
>>> pytest.approx(np.array(5.))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/_pytest/python_api.py", line 83, in __repr__
    self._approx_scalar(x) for x in np.asarray(self.expected)))
TypeError: iteration over a 0-d array

This looks like a bug to me.

pytest 3.6.0
numpy 1.14.3

Thanks, Florian

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #1994 (Supporting arrays for approx), #3312 (pytest.approx doesn't support comparison between arrays and scalars), #3449 (pytest.approx gives wrong result when compared with numpy types), #213 (Issue with numpy arrays and pytest.mark.parametrize), and #1965 (Pytest 3.0.2 memory leak with pytest.raises).

cc @tadeu which contributed the numpy support. 👍

Maybe it's an error with numpy, because if you do

one_element = np.array(5)
list_one_element = one_element.tolist()

it will return to you just a scalar 5, which is strange because you asked numpy to return a list. I think we have to check this if it's the expected behavior of numpy. However, I did a very simple fix for that which you can find here #3615

It's also related to:

Just to point it out, that ApproxNumpy class seems to mostly use the ndindex iteration, which should correctly give () (the empty tuple) as the only, correct, index into the array? So the problem might only be in the representation itself? Not sure if that matters to you or not.

<details>
  <summary>Changelog</summary>
  
  
   ### 3.7.1
   ```
   =========================

Bug Fixes
---------

- `3473 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3473&gt;`_: Raise immediately if ``approx()`` is given an expected value of a type it doesn&#39;t understand (e.g. strings, nested dicts, etc.).


- `3712 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3712&gt;`_: Correctly represent the dimensions of an numpy array when calling ``repr()`` on ``approx()``.

- `3742 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3742&gt;`_: Fix incompatibility with third party plugins during collection, which produced the error ``object has no attribute &#39;_collectfile&#39;``.

- `3745 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3745&gt;`_: Display the absolute path if ``cache_dir`` is not relative to the ``rootdir`` instead of failing.


- `3747 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3747&gt;`_: Fix compatibility problem with plugins and the warning code issued by fixture functions when they are called directly.


- `3748 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3748&gt;`_: Fix infinite recursion in ``pytest.approx`` with arrays in ``numpy&lt;1.13``.


- `3757 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3757&gt;`_: Pin pathlib2 to ``&gt;=2.2.0`` as we require ``__fspath__`` support.


- `3763 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3763&gt;`_: Fix ``TypeError`` when the assertion message is ``bytes`` in python 3.
   ```
   
  
  
   ### 3.7.0
   ```
   =========================

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- `2639 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2639&gt;`_: ``pytest_namespace`` has been deprecated.

  See the documentation for ``pytest_namespace`` hook for suggestions on how to deal
  with this in plugins which use this functionality.


- `3661 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3661&gt;`_: Calling a fixture function directly, as opposed to request them in a test function, now issues a ``RemovedInPytest4Warning``. It will be changed into an error in pytest ``4.0``.

  This is a great source of confusion to new users, which will often call the fixture functions and request them from test functions interchangeably, which breaks the fixture resolution model.



Features
--------

- `2283 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2283&gt;`_: New ``package`` fixture scope: fixtures are finalized when the last test of a *package* finishes. This feature is considered **experimental**, so use it sparingly.


- `3576 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3576&gt;`_: ``Node.add_marker`` now supports an ``append=True/False`` parameter to determine whether the mark comes last (default) or first.


- `3579 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3579&gt;`_: Fixture ``caplog`` now has a ``messages`` property, providing convenient access to the format-interpolated log messages without the extra data provided by the formatter/handler.


- `3610 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3610&gt;`_: New ``--trace`` option to enter the debugger at the start of a test.


- `3623 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3623&gt;`_: Introduce ``pytester.copy_example`` as helper to do acceptance tests against examples from the project.



Bug Fixes
---------

- `2220 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2220&gt;`_: Fix a bug where fixtures overridden by direct parameters (for example parametrization) were being instantiated even if they were not being used by a test.


- `3695 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3695&gt;`_: Fix ``ApproxNumpy`` initialisation argument mixup, ``abs`` and ``rel`` tolerances were flipped causing strange comparsion results.
  Add tests to check ``abs`` and ``rel`` tolerances for ``np.array`` and test for expecting ``nan`` with ``np.array()``


- `980 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/980&gt;`_: Fix truncated locals output in verbose mode.



Improved Documentation
----------------------

- `3295 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3295&gt;`_: Correct the usage documentation of ``--last-failed-no-failures`` by adding the missing ``--last-failed`` argument in the presented examples, because they are misleading and lead to think that the missing argument is not needed.



Trivial/Internal Changes
------------------------

- `3519 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3519&gt;`_: Now a ``README.md`` file is created in ``.pytest_cache`` to make it clear why the directory exists.
   ```

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Use ``smtp_connection`` instead of ``smtp`` in fixtures documentation to avoid possible confusion. (`3592 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3592&gt;`_)

   ```
   
  
  
   ### 3.6.3
   ```
   =========================

Bug Fixes
---------

- Fix ``ImportWarning`` triggered by explicit relative imports in
  assertion-rewritten package modules. (`3061

  arrays. (`3593 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3593&gt;`_)

- No longer raise ``ValueError`` when using the ``get_marker`` API. (`3605
  &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3605&gt;`_)

- Fix problem where log messages with non-ascii characters would not
  appear in the output log file.
  (`3630 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3630&gt;`_)

- No longer raise ``AttributeError`` when legacy marks can&#39;t be stored in
  functions. (`3631 &lt;https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3631&gt;`_)


Improved Documentation
----------------------

- The description above the example for ``pytest.mark.skipif`` now better
  matches the code. (`3611

------------------------

- Internal refactoring: removed unused ``CallSpec2tox ._globalid_args``
