Answer 1

pytest-dev/pytest does not provide a hook for use with pre-commit -- that is it does not contain a .pre-commit-hooks.yaml file with information.

I'm not sure where you found that yaml snippet from, but it is not valid (perhaps you made it up?)

and as both a pytest core dev and the creator of pre-commit it shouldn't -- running tests as part of your commit is going to be too slow and is going to frustrate your contributors. plus pre-commit never installs the "repository under test" so you won't be able to have any of your dependencies available
