AssertionError - ERROR: InvocationError for command '**\.tox\py35\Scripts\python' '**\PyCharm Community Edition 2019.2\helpers\pycharm\pytestrunner.py' -p pytest_teamcity tests (exited with code 1)

• a detailed description of the bug or suggestion
  While running tox command from PyCharm (version 2019.2) and PyTest (version 5.1.1), I am getting an error "AssertionError - ERROR: InvocationError for command '.tox\py35\Scripts\python' '\PyCharm Community Edition 2019.2\helpers\pycharm\pytestrunner.py' -p pytest_teamcity tests (exited with code 1)". I was able to resolve this issue by forcing tox to use PyTest version 5.0.1 OR 4.6.2. I managed to find source of exception in file **.tox\py35\lib\site-packages_pytest\config_init_.py - line 920 - "assert self.invocation_params.args == args"

I believe, this issue is caused by #5564 and/or #5644

[nicoddemus]

Hi @sanghvibk,

Can you manage to post the complete traceback? That assert shouldn't really be failing... 🤔

[sanghvibk]

Hi @nicoddemus , Many thanks for your response. Please find full traceback as requested. Also, please let me know if I could provide any other assistance.

Can you change it to output the values?

assert self.invocation_params.args == args, (assert self.invocation_params.args, args)

[sanghvibk]

args = <class 'list'>: ['-p', 'pytest_teamcity', 'tests', '-s']
self.invocation_params.args = None

If you are expecting full Traceback with variable values, then please guide me how to achieve that. I am quite newbie with PyCharm / Python / PyTest.

Hi @blueyed and @nicoddemus, Thank you for support so far. Kindly let me know if you would like to have any more information in order to establish cause of this issue. Regards.

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

at first glance this looks like the pycharm helper is using pytest internals, can you upload that main file of pycharm ?

Note that my PyCharm installation is using _jb_pytest_runner.py, differently than yours which is using pytestrunner.py (and I have both scripts in my helpers directory).

I have no idea what might be the problem, and it seems there are already other users facing problems with PyCharm 2019 (PY-37841, PY-36474). You might consider voting on the existing issues and also post yours, in which case please post the link back here so we can vote on it.

Done - note a GitHub account (or Yahoo/Bitbucket/Jetbrains) works as well!

Thanks!

They move fast, it seems it will be fixed in 2019.2.3 already! ❤️

Closing this now that we have no action on our side.
