`astro dev pytest -a "-m \"not <marker>\""` - Can't run tests without marker

[alex-astronomer]

Describe the bug

When trying to run astro dev pytest and passing a custom marker in the args for the underlying pytest command, I receive an error that no file was found for my marker.

alexkennedy@Alexs-MacBook-Pro-2 airflow % astro dev pytest -a "-m \"not integration\""

Results in error message:

Running with command

pytest -m "not integration"

Correctly runs the tests, skipping any tests that are marked with @pytest.mark.integration.

What CLI Version did you experience this bug?

1.15.1

This CLI bug is related to which Astronomer Platform?

• [x] Astro
• [ ] Software
• [ ] None/Unknown

What Operating System is the above CLI installed on?

macOS Ventura 13.4

🪜 Steps To Reproduce

Create 2 tests, one marked with integration and one without.

import pytest

def test_unit():
    print("hello unit test")

@pytest.mark.integration
def test_integration():
    print("hello integration test")

Running this test with pytest -m "not integration" should run successfully. This should skip one test, and run one test. This shows in the output of the pytest command with running with astro CLI.

Then, run these tests as part of an Airflow Astro repository project.

Running the command astro dev pytest -a "-m \"not integration\"" results in an error like ERROR: file or directory not found: integration".

Not solving the problem, but a workaround we found:

echo -e '[pytest]\naddopts = -m "not integration"' > pytest.ini
astro dev pytest

Not an expert in go, but I think it could be solved by replacing this line by something similar to this snippet.
