Description
Windows 10
piplist.txt
using Wing IDE to run tests causes error
ERROR: usage: --html=report.html [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]
--html=report.html: error: unrecognized arguments: --verbose
inifile: None
rootdir:<ExitCode.USAGE_ERROR: 4>
i've found that it uses following pre-arguments
our_args=['-s', '-p', 'no:terminal']
then adds args user pass, so the resulting args may look like
finargs = ['-s', '-p', 'no:terminal', '--html=report.html', '--alluredir=allure-result', '--verbose', '--durations=1', '--numprocesses=1', '<suit_path>']
and execution code is
pytest.main(args=finargs)
which end with error
also i've found that removing '-p', 'no:terminal' solves the problem
and unfortunately there is no alternative for "-p" to use like --p=no:terminal

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows 10 case through pytest.main(args=finargs), using the listed arguments and the -p no:terminal pair. Inspect pytest's argument parsing and plugin-loading entry points to identify why --verbose is rejected in this combination; done means the reported invocation no longer produces the usage error while retaining the intended plugin behavior.
