Spurious error during debugging: 'Namespace' object has no attribute 'backend'

[windiana42]

This error appeared to me during debugging pytsql, then it vanished, and now it resurfaced:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/martin/progs/pycharm-2022.2.1/plugins/python/helpers/pydev/_pydevd_bundle/pydevd_exec2.py", line 3, in Exec
    exec(exp, global_vars, local_vars)
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'Namespace' object has no attribute 'backend'

It could be a problem of my pycharm installation, but this is the first repo where it happens. I checked both python 3.11 and 3.10. I tested pycharm 2022.2.1 and 2022.2.4

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

This code snippet in conftest.py seems to be related:

def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
    if "backend" in metafunc.fixturenames:
        metafunc.parametrize(
            "backend", [metafunc.config.getoption("backend")], scope="module"
        )

[windiana42]

proposed solution will be as a commit in issue44 (#44) branch/PR:

def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
    if "backend" in metafunc.fixturenames:
        try:
            metafunc.parametrize(
                "backend", [metafunc.config.getoption("backend")], scope="module"
            )
        except ValueError:
            # some metafunc.config objects don't have an option "backend"
            metafunc.parametrize(
                "backend", ["default_backend"], scope="module"
            )
