usage: pytest [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]

positional arguments:
  file_or_dir

general:
  -k EXPRESSION         only run tests which match the given substring
                        expression. An expression is a python evaluatable
                        expression where all names are substring-matched
                        against test names and their parent classes. Example:
                        -k 'test_method or test_other' matches all test
                        functions and classes whose name contains
                        'test_method' or 'test_other', while -k 'not
                        test_method' matches those that don't contain
                        'test_method' in their names. Additionally keywords
                        are matched to classes and functions containing extra
                        names in their 'extra_keyword_matches' set, as well as
                        functions which have names assigned directly to them.
  -m MARKEXPR           only run tests matching given mark expression.
                        example: -m 'mark1 and not mark2'.
  --markers             show markers (builtin, plugin and per-project ones).
  -x, --exitfirst       exit instantly on first error or failed test.
  --maxfail=num         exit after first num failures or errors.
  --strict              marks not registered in configuration file raise
                        errors.
  -c file               load configuration from `file` instead of trying to
                        locate one of the implicit configuration files.
  --continue-on-collection-errors
                        Force test execution even if collection errors occur.
  --fixtures, --funcargs
                        show available fixtures, sorted by plugin appearance
  --fixtures-per-test   show fixtures per test
  --import-mode={prepend,append}
                        prepend/append to sys.path when importing test
                        modules, default is to prepend.
  --pdb                 start the interactive Python debugger on errors.
  --pdbcls=modulename:classname
                        start a custom interactive Python debugger on errors.
                        For example:
                        --pdbcls=IPython.terminal.debugger:TerminalPdb
  --capture=method      per-test capturing method: one of fd|sys|no.
  -s                    shortcut for --capture=no.
  --runxfail            run tests even if they are marked xfail
  --lf, --last-failed   rerun only the tests that failed at the last run (or
                        all if none failed)
  --ff, --failed-first  run all tests but run the last failures first. This
                        may re-order tests and thus lead to repeated fixture
                        setup/teardown
  --cache-show          show cache contents, don't perform collection or tests
  --cache-clear         remove all cache contents at start of test run.

reporting:
  -v, --verbose         increase verbosity.
  -q, --quiet           decrease verbosity.
  -r chars              show extra test summary info as specified by chars
                        (f)ailed, (E)error, (s)skipped, (x)failed, (X)passed,
                        (p)passed, (P)passed with output, (a)all except pP.
                        Warnings are displayed at all times except when
                        --disable-warnings is set
  --disable-warnings, --disable-pytest-warnings
                        disable warnings summary
  -l, --showlocals      show locals in tracebacks (disabled by default).

  --color=color         color terminal output (yes/no/auto).
  --durations=N         show N slowest setup/test durations (N=0 for all).
  --pastebin=mode       send failed|all info to bpaste.net pastebin service.
  --junit-xml=path      create junit-xml style report file at given path.
  --junit-prefix=str    prepend prefix to classnames in junit-xml output
  --result-log=path     DEPRECATED path for machine-readable result log.

collection:

  --doctest-report={none,cdiff,ndiff,udiff,only_first_failure}
                        choose another output format for diffs on doctest
                        failure

test session debugging and configuration:
  --basetemp=dir        base temporary directory for this test run.
  --version             display pytest lib version and import information.
  -h, --help            show help message and configuration info
  -p name               early-load given plugin (multi-allowed). To avoid
                        loading of plugins, use the `no:` prefix, e.g.
                        `no:doctest`.
  --trace-config        trace considerations of conftest.py files.
  --debug               store internal tracing debug information in

  --assert=MODE         Control assertion debugging tools. 'plain' performs no
                        assertion debugging. 'rewrite' (the default) rewrites
                        assert statements in test modules on import to provide
