Question

Asked By – Hello lad

when I am trying to run my test through command line

py.test  file_name.py

I got this error:

py.test: error: unrecognized arguments: --cov=ner_brands --cov-report=term-missing --cov-config

How can I fix this?

Now we will see solution for issue: py.test: error: unrecognized arguments: –cov=ner_brands –cov-report=term-missing –cov-config

Answer

pytest-cov package is required if you want to pass –cov arguments to pytest, by default it should not be passed though. Are you using a modified version of py.test?

pip install pytest-cov

would fix your issue.
