Tests fail with pytest-asyncio>=0.25.0

[gepbird]

Tested with textual version 1.0.0 and python version 3.12.8

When updating pytest-asyncio to from 0.24.0 to 0.25.0, some tests start failing:

=========================== short test summary info ============================

Re-running just the failed tests makes them pass, to reproduce this you need to run the whole test suite or at least a larger part.

Possibly related upstream issues:

• 0.25.1 regression Python 3.9 asyncio_mode="auto" # RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread 'MainThread' pytest-dev/pytest-asyncio#1039
• Python 3.11: DeprecationWarning: There is no current event loop pytest-dev/pytest-asyncio#757

We noticed this failure in nixpkgs where we recently bumped many python packages and some of textual's tests started failing: https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/python312Packages.textual.x86_64-linux

I'm not familiar with packaging, but FWIW I don't think Textual will currently ever test using the latest version of pytest-asyncio. Textual still supports Python 3.8, whereas it looks like pytest-asyncio now requires Python 3.9.

Python 3.8 security support ended 4 months ago: https://endoflife.date/python. Is there a specific reason you want to support that?

Hi,

Arch Linux package maintainer here, I confirm this issue.
This prevent our textual package from being rebuilt / upgraded.

I'm happy to provide full check logs or test any patches if it helps :)

[Antiz96]

Can confirm the patch proposed in #5687 fixes it :)

I believe this issue may have resurfaced with textual 3.2.0. Downgrading to 3.1.1 runs just fine though.
