[Python] pytest is not accepting a custom argument value

I'm trying to run pytest with a custom input argument "--trustkey_jks".

Running like this:

sh-4.2$ pytest -m test_e2e.py --trustkey_jks somekey
ERROR: usage: py.test [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]
py.test: error: argument --trustkey_jks: expected one argument


Also tried like this:

sh-4.2$ py.test --trustkey_jks somekey test_e2e.py
ERROR: usage: py.test [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]
py.test: error: argument --trustkey_jks: expected one argument


Can omit a file name to let pytest to collect any tests:

sh-4.2$ py.test --trustkey_jks somekey
ERROR: usage: py.test [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]
py.test: error: argument --trustkey_jks: expected one argument


My conftest.py (same level as tests_e2e.py):

# conftest.py
def pytest_addoption(parser):
parser.addoption("--trustkey_jks", action="store")

@pytest.fixture()
def trustkey_jks(request):
return request.config.getoption("--trustkey_jks")


As far as i understand, pytest fails at parsing input arguments. Appreciate any help.

NOTE: the above is happening inside an Openshift POD, not sure if it matters.
