Description

Hello,

I use pytest-xdist to do the testing and the command is as below, I add testpaths [test_cases/staff_group/] in the pytest.ini file but it does not find the test method from the testpaths, no test method is found, if I remove this testpaths, it will find all test methods to run. Please help to check why I can not define the testpaths for the remote socket server to run? Thanks.

pytest --dist loadscope --tx socket=localhost:8888 --rsyncdir .

pytest.ini
[pytest]
addopts = test_cases/staff_group/ -vrA --env=qa --reruns=0 --reruns-delay=2 --html=D:\ui_report\report.html

Research direction

Start by reproducing the remote socket run with pytest.ini and the command using --tx socket=localhost:8888, comparing behavior with and without the configured test path. Trace how test selection is transferred to the remote worker and confirm that the configured test_cases/staff_group/ tests are collected and run.
