Prune obsolete dependencies from test-requirements.in

[legoktm]

This is a good first issue for new contributors to take on, if you have any questions, please ask on the task or in our Gitter room!

Description

I'm pretty sure that at least pathlib2 and blinker are no longer required to run our tests.

Steps to reproduce

• Remove those dependencies from test-requirements.in
• Run make update-python3-requirements to regenerate a new test-requirements.txt file
• Run unit tests, see if anything fails. If not, send a PR removing the dependencies. If they do fail, we should document how they're used since it's not obvious with grep.

• make update-python3-requirements

this command is not working for me(it is showing make is not an internal command) , instead can i use "pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall -r test-requirements.in"
also , I cannot find the test-requirements file

@ryuusama09: What operating system are you using? You'll need to install make and docker/podman at a minimum to make the development environment work.

also , I cannot find the test-requirements file

@MRZHD1 assigned to you, as before, feel free to ask questions if you have any!

Hey @eaon, sorry for the extremely late start as I was super busy, but after numerous attempts at making the dev environment work I just can't seem to. Every time I run make dev I run into this:

  ...
  adding 'EasyProcess-0.2.3.dist-info/top_level.txt'
  adding 'EasyProcess-0.2.3.dist-info/RECORD'
  removing build/bdist.linux-x86_64/wheel
  free(): invalid pointer
  ----------------------------------------
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for easyprocess

which causes the whole thing to fail. I've already changed the requirements and generated the new test-requirements.txt so I don't know if that's what is causing the issue or not.
