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. -k 'not
                        test_method and not test_other' will eliminate the
                        matches. 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-markers, --strict
                        markers not registered in the `markers` section of the
                        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.
  --rootdir=ROOTDIR     Define root directory for tests. Can be relative path:
                        'root_dir', './root_dir', 'root_dir/another_dir/';
                        absolute path: '/home/user/root_dir'; path with
                        variables: '$HOME/root_dir'.
  --fixtures, --funcargs
                        show available fixtures, sorted by plugin appearance
                        (fixtures with leading '_' are only shown with '-v')
  --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 or
                        KeyboardInterrupt.
  --pdbcls=modulename:classname
                        start a custom interactive Python debugger on errors.
                        For example:
                        --pdbcls=IPython.terminal.debugger:TerminalPdb
  --trace               Immediately break when running each test.
  --capture=method      per-test capturing method: one of fd|sys|no.
  -s                    shortcut for --capture=no.
  --runxfail            report the results of xfail tests as if they were not
                        marked
  --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
  --nf, --new-first     run tests from new files first, then the rest of the
                        tests sorted by file mtime
  --cache-show=[CACHESHOW]
                        show cache contents, don't perform collection or tests.
                        Optional argument: glob (default: '*').

                        next time
  --stepwise-skip       ignore the first failing test but stop on the next
                        failing test
