tox legacy options

• -h, --help - show this help message and exit

• --colored COLORED - should output be enriched with colors, default is yes unless TERM=dumb or NO_COLOR is defined.

• --exit-and-dump-after SECONDS - dump tox threads after n seconds and exit the app - useful to debug when tox hangs, 0 means disabled (default: 0)

• -c FILE, --conf FILE - configuration file/folder for tox (if not specified will discover one) (default: None)

• --workdir DIR - tox working directory (if not specified will be the folder of the config file) (default: None)

• --root DIR - project root directory (if not specified will be the folder of the config file) (default: None)

• --runner DEFAULT_RUNNER - the tox run engine to use when not explicitly stated in tox env configuration (default: virtualenv)

• --version - show program’s and plugins version number and exit

• --result-json PATH - write a JSON file with detailed information about all commands and results involved (default: None)

• --hashseed SEED - set PYTHONHASHSEED to SEED before running commands. Defaults to a random integer in the range [1, 4294967295] ([1, 1024] on Windows). Passing 'notset' suppresses this behavior. (default: 967834622)

• --discover PATH - for Python discovery first try these Python executables (default: [])

• --list-dependencies - list the dependencies installed during environment setup

• --no-list-dependencies - never list the dependencies installed during environment setup

• --help-ini, --hi - show live configuration

• --showconfig - show live configuration (by default all env, with -l only default targets, specific via TOXENV/-e)

• -a, --listenvs-all - show list of all defined environments (with description if verbose)

• -l, --listenvs - show list of test environments (with description if verbose)

• --devenv ENVDIR - sets up a development environment at ENVDIR based on the env’s tox configuration specified by`-e` (-e defaults to py)

• -s V, --skip-missing-interpreters V - don’t fail tests for missing interpreters: {config,true,false} choice (default: config)

• -n, --notest - do not run the test commands

• -b, --pkg-only, --sdistonly - only perform the packaging activity

• --installpkg INSTALL_PKG - use specified package for installation into venv, instead of packaging the project (default: None)

• --develop - install package in development mode

• --no-recreate-pkg - if recreate is set do not recreate packaging tox environment(s)

• --skip-pkg-install - skip package installation for this run

• -p VAL, --parallel VAL - run tox environments in parallel, the argument controls limit: all, auto - cpu count, some positive number, zero is turn off (default: 0)

• -o, --parallel-live - connect to stdout while running environments

• --parallel-no-spinner - run tox environments in parallel, but don’t show the spinner, implies –parallel. Disabled by default if CI is detected (not in legacy API).

• --pre - deprecated use PIP_PRE in set_env instead - install pre-releases and development versions ofdependencies; this will set PIP_PRE=1 environment variable

• --force-dep REQ - Forces a certain version of one of the dependencies when configuring the virtual environment. REQ Examples 'pytest<6.1' or 'django>=2.2'. (default: [])

• --sitepackages - deprecated use VIRTUALENV_SYSTEM_SITE_PACKAGES=1, override sitepackages setting to True in all envs

• --alwayscopy - deprecated use VIRTUALENV_ALWAYS_COPY=1, override always copy setting to True in all envs

• --no-provision REQ_JSON - do not perform provision, but fail and if a path was provided write provision metadata as JSON to it (default: False)

• --no-recreate-provision - if recreate is set do not recreate provision tox environment

• -r, --recreate - recreate the tox environments

• -x OVERRIDE, --override OVERRIDE - configuration override(s), e.g., -x testenv:pypy3.ignore_errors=True (default: [])

tox legacy verbosity

• -v, --verbose - increase verbosity (default: 2)

• -q, --quiet - decrease verbosity (default: 0)

tox legacy select target environment(s)

• -e ENV - enumerate (ALL -> all environments, not set -> use <env_list> from config) (default: <env_list>)

• -m LABEL - labels to evaluate (default: [])

• -f FACTOR - factors to evaluate (passing multiple factors means 'AND', passing this option multiple times means 'OR') (default: [])

• --skip-env RE - exclude all environments selected that match this regular expression (default: )

config file ‘/home/docs/.config/tox/config.ini’ missing (change via env var TOX_USER_CONFIG_FILE)
