Command to generate example.json no longer works

[athish-thiru]

Current behavior

Running pytest --generate returns the following error:

ERROR: usage: pytest [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]
pytest: error: unrecognized arguments: --generate

Expected behavior

Running this command should produce an example.json file in every folder where an init file is defined

I suspect that you forgot to run it inside poetry shell.

This will probably fail:

$ pytest --generate
ERROR: usage: pytest [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]
pytest: error: unrecognized arguments: --generate
  inifile: /Users/lpsinger/src/gcn-classic-to-json/pyproject.toml
  rootdir: /Users/lpsinger/src/gcn-classic-to-json

But this will succeed:

$ poetry shell

As will this:
