• [x] minimal example if possible

pytest doesn't have an --env argument and it's correctly telling you that. You might be missing a plugin needed for that argument.

[The-Compiler]

Ah whoops, I missed the part where you add that argument yourself. Where do you have that code?

[leandrowcs]

Thanks for the quick reply. It is an internal project of my work.

I'm trying to create arguments to control the execution environment of my tests.

[The-Compiler]

But in which file (full path ideally) is the code you've shown? How does the rest of the file tree look?

[leandrowcs]

C:\Users\leandro.dasilva\Documents\python\plato-automation\tests\step_defs\conftest.py

[The-Compiler]

It'll need to be in e.g. your root conftest.py, see the note in the docs: https://docs.pytest.org/en/8.1.x/reference/reference.html#pytest.hookspec.pytest_addoption

[leandrowcs]

Thank you for your support. It's working now.
