If a command line argument is a directory that contains a tox.ini file, that tox file is used #4009
Description
If you supply a command line argument that is a directory that contains a tox.ini file, that tox file gets used. Example layout and files that can reproduce this:
/tests
conftest.py
test.py
/some_folder
tox.ini
conftest.py
def pytest_addoption(parser):
parser.addoption(
"--foo"
)
test.py
def test():
print("Hello world!")
tox.ini
[pytest]
addopts = --collect-only
Running just pytest .\tests\test.py, I get the expected output:
============================= test session starts =============================
platform win32 -- Python 3.6.4, pytest-3.8.0, py-1.6.0, pluggy-0.7.1
rootdir: C:\Users\masable\Desktop\examples, inifile:
collected 1 item
tests\test.py . [100%]
========================== 1 passed in 0.03 seconds ===========================
If instead you run pytest .\tests\test.py --foo .\some_folder\, than the tox.ini in some_folder is used, and the output is:
============================= test session starts =============================
platform win32 -- Python 3.6.4, pytest-3.8.0, py-1.6.0, pluggy-0.7.1
rootdir: C:\Users\masable\Desktop\examples\some_folder, inifile: tox.ini

<Module 'test.py'>
<Function 'test'>
======================== no tests ran in 0.02 seconds =========================
I'm on pytest 3.8.0.
