Run tests command completely ignores additionally configured arguments

[lexicalunit]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.100.2 (Universal)
• OS Version: macOS 15.5 24F74

Steps to Reproduce:

I have a python project that uses pytest for testing. In the Testing tab I have configured tests and the side panel shows all my tests. I navigate to a test file and I want to run a single test in that file. I click the green play button to the left of the line number where the test starts.

The Test Results pane on the bottom comes up and my test starts running. In this pane I see the command that was run:

Running pytest with args: ['-p', 'vscode_pytest', '--rootdir=/Users/me/source/project', '/Users/me/source/project/tests/test_scheduler.py::test_lag']

However, if you look in my vscode settings file, I have this:

{
  "python.testing.pytestArgs": [
    "--reuse-db",
    "--disable-pytest-warnings",
    "-vv",
    "--no-header",
    "--show-capture=stdout",
    "--capture=tee-system"
  ]
}

And none of these arguments were applied to the test run. They are completely ignored and apparently broken and not used for anything.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.100.3. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

which settings file do you have those args in? Is there a chance you have that setting in multiple places?
