-p silently fails if parameter is an invalid plugin #14135
Description
-
a detailed description of the bug or problem you are having
When using
--disable-plugin-autoload, some plugins, egpytest-recording, are not picked unless the parameter to-pis the entry point, not the module name.
However, this fails silently -- using the module name doesn't cause any warnings frompytest.In particular, this can be detected by checking if
pytestaccepts the command line flags defined by these plugins -- with-p pytest_recording,--block_networkisn't accepted, but with-p recordingit is. -
