logilab-common #3676 missing pytest --help / -t options [resolved]
Marien Zwart said Because of the place option parsing happens pytest relies on there being exactly one directory called "test" or "tests" somewhere below the current directory. The "pytest" main script walks down from the current directory and calls testlib.main on every directory called test or tests it finds. This main function then (re)parses the arguments and runs the tests. This is especially annoying for --help (which does nothing if there is no test or tests dir below the current one) or -t (specify testdir explicitly, which does nothing if there is no test or tests dir below the current one and runs the tests more than once if there is more than one). | |
