Description
pytest-xdist unable to get custom parameters passed in from the command line.
Can you give an example?
Thank you!
def pytest_addoption(parser):
parser.addoption(
"--cmd", action="store", default="fat", help="Abbreviation of tested environment"
)
@pytest.fixture(scope="session", autouse=True)
def cmd(request):
return request.config.workerinput["mainargv"]

Research direction
Start with the pytest_addoption definition and the session-scoped cmd fixture shown in the issue, then reproduce the IndexError while running pytest-xdist with a custom --cmd argument. Done means the custom command-line value can be retrieved reliably under xdist, with an example that explains the supported access pattern.
