Command line switch to disable? about pytest-rerunfailures HOT 6 CLOSED

You should be able to disable the plugin using pytest's -p no:rerunfailures command line option.

Hmm. That breaks if you also use --strict (e.g. through pytest.ini), but that's good enough for me. Thanks!

I also encountered a similar problem with other plugins. If there is a flag like --rerun 3 in a pytest.ini or in a tox.ini then I found no way to switch off the plugin. -p no:rerunfailures will cause the following error py.test: error: unrecognized arguments: --rerun. Has there been a solution for other plugins to cope with that?

I've had the same issue before as well... Is there something we could add for this scenario from the pytest side?

I guess there could be a -p ignore:rerunfailures or so which runs pytest_addoption (to add the commandline switches) but no other hooks. Then again depending what kind of stuff plugins do there (or at import time) this might lead to weird effects... So maybe this is better solved individually per-plugin indeed.

IMO, it's a non-issue that disabling a plugin also disables it's command line options. That'd be expected, and changing it would just make it more confusing. Instead, don't use plugin options in your ini files if you're also going to need to disable them at a later date.

I agree that -p no:rerunfailures should be sufficient. Disabling reruns should not occur on a daily basis, rather to check if a global bugfix squished most of the brittle test failures. Removing the rerun option from a single INI file to avoid unrecognized arguments sounds good to me.
