AttributeError: 'Argument' object has no attribute 'dest'

Can anyone tell me, why I got the attribute error for this code

def pytest_addoption(parser):
    Parser.addoption(“—browser”)

def browser(request):
    return request.config.getoption(“—browser”)

Based on the code snippet you provided, I assume you're trying to add commandline options to pytest.

As the error says, the Argument object created by Parser.addoption needs a dest attribute.

Try using double hyphens, i.e. long options:

def pytest_addoption(parser):
    Parser.addoption(“-—browser”)

def browser(request):
    return request.config.getoption(“-—browser”)

these get stored as dest attributes by default by pytest when dest is not provided.
