Running pytest on Charcoal-SE/Smokedetector under scalene fails

[micsthepick]

Describe the bug Pytest cannot run due to below error(s):

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: (tested in WSL2) - Setup a conda env with scalene, clone github.com:charcoal-se/smokedetector.git, pip install -r requirements.txt, and run the following command (modified from a CI yaml) scalene --profile-all -m pytest -W default::Warning --cov=chatcommunicate --cov=findspam --cov=globalvars --cov=spamhandling --cov=datahandling --cov=chatcommands --cov=helpers -n 3 --dist loadgroup --timeout=300 test

Please include a minimum working example if at all possible.

Expected behavior Runs like as if I'd replaced scalene --profile-all with just python.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Widows 11 Education

• Version:

  wsl --version
  WSL version: 2.2.4.0
  Kernel version: 5.15.153.1-2
  WSLg version: 1.0.61

If you have not yet tried with the repository version (python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/plasma-umass/scalene), please try that before reporting. (sidenote this may be more helpful at the top of the issue template) - replicates with latest.

Additional context SmokeDetector can take a while to clone (not too long), so if you think that this might be solvable without cloning it, I'd certainly recommend investigating that way.

... and what makes me think so, is the error from scalene:

Scalene: could not find input file /home/mike/sources/SmokeDetector/-u

[emeryberger]

Can you try putting --- after the Scalene flag(s) and before pytest?

[micsthepick]

@emeryberger still reproduces with the following: scalene --profile-all --- -m pytest -W default::Warning --cov=chatcommunicate --cov=findspam --cov=globalvars --cov=spamhandling --cov=datahandling --cov=chatcomm ands --cov=helpers -n 3 --dist loadgroup --timeout=300 test

[micsthepick]

just in case I needed to put -m pytest before the ---, the following doesn't work either:

scalene --profile-all -m pytest --- -W default::Warning --cov=chatcommunicate --cov=findspam --cov=globalvars --cov=spamhandling --cov=datahandling --cov=chatcomm
ands --cov=helpers -n 3 --dist loadgroup --timeout=300 test
