pytest error unrecognized arguments --html basic html

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to create one Pytest report in HTML format. But It is showing me the below error.

C:\Users\Nadeem Akhter\pytest>pytest -v --html=basic.html
usage: pytest [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]
pytest: error: unrecognized arguments: --html=basic.html
  inifile: None
  rootdir: C:\Users\Nadeem Akhter\pytest

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

You have to install one module named pytest-html. It allows you to create one report in HTML format. You can use the below-given command to install a pytest-html module.

$ pip install pytest-html==2.1.1

I hope this will help you.
