User can run test cases like below
python /test/submit.py --pytest-args "test/cases/"
this will be run as
pytest.main("test/cases/")`
submit.py argparse parse argument expects ('--pytest-args', default='', type=str)
submit.py is some module, where one of the def [like initiate_test()] will split --pytest-args by space, and runs pytest based on same split --pytest-args.
Now I want to pass --pytest-args in such a way that it ignore test_name.
But -ignore or -k is not doing what I expect.
Below is how I tried -ignore or -k.
-ignore seems like it is limited to directory & module.
python /test/submit.py --pytest-args "test/cases/ --ignore=test/cases/test.py::test_class::test_name"
while -k=test_name does selective run, but -k!=test_name did not do deselection.
`python /test/submit.py --pytest-args "test/cases/ -k!=test_name"`
Also I tried shell parameter like a='-k not (test_name)' with
python /test/submit.py --pytest-args "test/cases/ $a"
this does not work as there is space in $a.
Note: I don’t have access to test.py or submit.py, so I cannot use markers. So solution should be with respect to CLI.
