Loading pytest plugin in runtime

[Avi Uziel]

Hi all,

I have an application that execute pytest.main().

simplified code snippet:

---

import pytest

import pytest_html

def run_tests(test_func):

  test_module = os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS, "tests.py")

  return pytest.main(["-vvv", "-p", "pytest_html", "--html=report.html", "--capture=tee-sys", test_module])

---

The result is that pytest-html plugin fails to load:

----

ERROR: usage: aidoc-probe.exe [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]

aidoc-probe.exe: error: unrecognized arguments: --html=report.html

  inifile: None

  rootdir: D:\prob-test

----

Running the same code without ["-p", "pytest_html", "--html=report.html"] run as expected and I have the standard pytest output. 

I running pyinstaller on Windows box, using conda environment.

In the environment I have pytest-html package installed.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Avi
