Hi,

I'm not sure if I'm using it wrong, but it seems like setting option_tbstyle to a value in conftest.py is not having the desired effect. In the project I use at work we had option_tbstyle = 'short' and it was working fine, but lately I noticed it doesn't work and tracebacks are long. Manually doing 'py.test --tb=short' still works.

Hum, can you try adding/using an .ini file with an "addopts" value liek "--tb=short" like described here: http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/customize.html?highlight=addopts#adding-defa... this should work with pytest-2.0 and above. In fact, the tbstyle is not configurable from conftest.py files anymore from the 2.0 version on. HTH, holger

At work we are using 1.3.4 (planning to upgrade soon!) but I just did a little test (see below) and it seems to be the case with 2.0.3, as well. I put pytest_runtest_setup in the conftest to validate that it was being used at all. (This example is pretty trivial but with our system tests, the long tracebacks take many pages to scroll through.)

So am I specifying this option wrong, or what else might I be doing wrong?

Also, was the --help-config option removed? v2.0.3 doesn't seem to know about it.

thanks, Brianna
