How do you configure PyCharm to run py.test with command-line options like -s?

Question

I figured out how to run py.test files from PyCharm:

• Run/Debug configurations
• in the Python tests category, click the "+" button to add a new configuration
• choose py.test
• enter the full path for the Target script and the working directory

but I can't seem to add the -s option to allow my test script to run with standard output not captured and hidden. (I tried -s under interpreter options but it appears not to do anything.)

How can I enable -s?

Solution

D'oh, I figured it out after all:

You add it in the py.tests Options area of the Run/Edit configuration dialog.

To expand: if you want to configure defaults (so PyCharm auto-sets this when it auto-creates launch configs), there is separate Defaults category under Run/Debug Edit Configurations. Just set it there under Python tests > py.test.

Still won't work for me. I'm trying to add ".py", which means to look in all py files for functions named test_. It gets swallowed by the test running scripts.

Could you show how you got to this screen? I can't seem to find it. Edit Nevermind. Found it as well

How can we configure similar setup in Eclipse with PyDev plugin?

@zeal -- no idea, ask that as a separate question.

@JasonS - yep, raised it as separate question link - adding the link here for the benefit of getting some expert(s) attention!!!

This does not make much sense as is quite likely for the user to want to run pytest against its entire project, not a specific file. Target parameter seems to be mandatory. Still looking for a solution to this.

Where is this magical Options area? I see: "Parameters" and "Additional Arguments". I see "Interpreter Options" - but that is for something else.
