based on the output my guess would be that pytest-tldr is broken,
it works by accident when report.longrepr is a string attribute and it should use report.longreprext

i believe this started t break when pytest got more serious about types and longrepr was more often something concrete isntead of something else

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

Upstream fixed this in the latest pytest-tldr releases
