Visual Studio Code – Pytest not working in VSCODE, after installing the package in venv

I’m trying to run pytest which worked in pycharm, but can’t manage to run it on vscode.

First I’m doing:

python -m venv env

envScriptsactivate

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

pip install selenium webdriver-manager pytest pytest-html

Package            Version
------------------ -----------
pip                23.3.2
pytest             7.4.4
pytest-html        4.1.1
pytest-metadata    3.0.0
pytest-xdist       3.5.0
selenium           4.16.0
setuptools         69.0.3
webdriver-manager  4.0.1

The packages appear in the venv yet getting the following error:

    PS suggests you are using a Powershell terminal. Close that terminal and start a command prompt terminal. Powershell terminal can generate many issues with Python.

    In pytest, the Config object does not have a _metadata attribute by default.

    It should be changed to:

    def pytest_configure(config):
    config.metadata['Project Name'] = 'Palo Alto'

    This should resolve the AttributeError you’re seeing.
