pytest - How can I pass pytest addoption value to pytest parameterize?

I have to to pass an argument in my pytest command which I am storing in pytest addoption. I want to use these values in the pytest parametrize function.

Command:

pytest --range-from 3 --range-to 5 test.py

conftest.py:

def pytest_addoption(parser):
    parser.addoption("--range-from", action="store", default="default name")
    parser.addoption("--range-to", action="store", default="default name")

test.py:

@pytest.mark.parametrize('migration_id', migration_list[range-from:range-to])
def test_sync_with_migration_list(migration_id):
    migration_instance = migration.parallel(migration_id=migration_id)
    migration_instance.perform_sync_only()

I want to use the value of range-from and range-to inside parametrize.

I am not able to use these values. Please suggest how can this can be done.

One simple way is assign your command line argument to environment variable and use wherever you want. I am not sure in which manner you want to use the variables then so here i am putting simple print statement inside test.

conftest.py

def pytest_addoption(parser):
    parser.addoption("--range-from", action="store", default="default name") #Let's say value is :5
    parser.addoption("--range-to", action="store", default="default name") #Lets's say value is 7

def pytest_configure(config):
    os.environ["range_from"]=config.getoption("range-from") 
    os.environ["range_to"]=config.getoption("range-to")

test.py:

@pytest.mark.parametrize('migration_id', [os.getenv("range_from"),os.getenv("range_to")])
def test_sync_with_migration_list(migration_id):
    print(migration_id)

Output :
5
7

Hope it would help !!

You cannot directly access the options from parametrize, because they not available at load time. You can instead configure the parametrization at run time in pytest_generate_tests, where you have acces to the config from the metafunc argument:

test.py

@pytest.hookimpl
def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
    if "migration_id" in metafunc.fixturenames:
        # any error handling omitted
        range_from = int(metafunc.config.getoption("--range-from"))
        range_to = int(metafunc.config.getoption("--range-to"))
        metafunc.parametrize("migration_id",
                             migration_list[range_from:range_to])


def test_sync_with_migration_list(migration_id):
    migration_instance = migration.parallel(migration_id=migration_id)
    migration_instance.perform_sync_only()
