How do I register a custom marker with arguments

[FelixKJose]

Hello All,
I have scenario where I have to mark my tests with JIRA requirements and then using pytest_collection_modifyitems I have to read those custom marker arguments(requirement numbers) to a YML file. I am successfully able to do that.

But I am getting following warning when I run pytest:

@pytest.mark.requirements(names="CARE-3206")
Unknown pytest.mark.requirements - is this a typo? You can register custom marks to avoid this warning - for details, see https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/mark.html
@pytest.mark.requirements(names=("CARE-3204", "CARE-3206"))

Content of my pytest.ini:
[pytest]
markers =
requirements(names): mark test to show that the test is covering specified requirements

My test case Sample:
@pytest.mark.requirements(names="CARE-3206")
def test_version2_fail():
assert ......

What should I do to avoid this warning?

The config file just takes the name of a marker (not its signature), so you'd just use requirements: mark test to show ... there.

@The-Compiler I have updated the pytest.ini as follows as you suggested:

[pytest]
markers =
    requirements: mark test to show that the test is covering specified requirements.

I am still getting the above error if I just run:

pytest

from the project directory

But I am not getting error when I run:

pytest tests/

[The-Compiler]

I'm guessing your pytest.ini is in tests/? Either move it to the project root if you want to run pytest from there, or keep pytest configuration in a file in the project root (such as pyproject.toml / setup.py / tox.ini).

Thank you @The-Compiler, yes it worked. Thank you so much
