setup different testpath in pytest.ini

Is there any way I can setup different testpath under pytest.init for my test. so I can executing something like pytest xx then all testcase can be executing from one set of multiple directies pytest yy then all testcase can be executing from another set of multiple directies pytest all then all testcase can be executing

so far I have. one set of test under unitA, unitB, unitC directies and another set of test under regressionA, regressionB, regressionC. so I do not need to type in pytest unitA, unitB, unitC pytest regressionA, regressionB, regressionC

my pytest.ini.

[pytest]
testpaths = unitA unitB

Testpaths can be passed to pytest as positional arguments. If you are on *nix, you can use shell glob expansion to match multiple directories: pytest unit* will be expanded to pytest unitA unitB unitC. Similarly, pytest unit{A,C} will be expanded to pytest unitA unitC.

However, you can also define own arguments if you need custom test filtering or grouping logic. Example for a switch --unit-only that will run only tests in directories starting with unit, ignoring the testpaths setting in pytest.ini:

# conftest.py
import pathlib
import pytest

def pytest_addoption(parser):
    parser.addoption('--unit-only', action='store_true', default=False, help='only run tests in dirs starting with "unit".')


def pytest_configure(config):
    unit_only = config.getoption('--unit-only')
    if unit_only:
        config.args = [p for p in pathlib.Path().rglob('unit*') if p.is_dir()]
