Running pytest test giving error for pluggy, is there something wrong with setup?

Question

I am trying to run the pytest test.py file which contains tests for the project I am working on. Earlier the test was running fine but suddenly they stopped running with an error for pluggy package.

I have tried finding the issue but could not resolve, is there something related to virtualenv setup or pluggy package? Tried removing that but could not help?

This is the test I am running :

import subprocess
import time
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT

class Test:

    def test_yank_case(self):
    subprocess.call('echo Yanking case testing started', shell=True)
    assert subprocess.call('echo | yank 02041523', shell=True) == 0

Running as below with error:

Expected results should be pytest running with all test green.

But getting below error:

I am really not sure why pluggy is been used in pytest and can I remove it to fix the issue? Please provide help
