Description

When collection short-circuits (e.g. no tests found in a dot-prefix path),
the capture teardown can call snap() on a capture whose tmpfile has already
been closed by done(). This produces:

ValueError: I/O operation on closed file.

The traceback originates from _ensure_unconfigurestop_global_capturing
pop_outerr_to_origreadouterrsnaptmpfile.seek(0).

Fix

Add an early closed-file guard to all snap() implementations (FDCapture,
FDCaptureBinary, SysCapture, SysCaptureBinary) so they gracefully return
their EMPTY_BUFFER instead of raising.

How to test

  • New regression test test_snap_on_closed_tmpfile added
  • pytest testing/test_capture.py::test_snap_on_closed_tmpfile -xvs passes
