[Python] Testing argument using Python Click

I have a command-line script with Python-click with an argument and option:

# console.py
import click

@click.command()
@click.version_option()
@click.argument("filepath", type=click.Path(exists=True), default=".")
@click.option(
"-m",
"--max-size",
type=int,
help="Max size in megabytes.",
default=20,
show_default=True,
)
def main(filepath: str, max_size: int) -> None:
max_size_bytes = max_size * 1024 * 1024 # convert to MB
if filepath.endswith(".pdf"):
print("success")
else:
print(max_size_bytes)


Both the argument and option have default values and work on the command-line and using the CLI it behaves as expected. But when I try testing it following Click documentation and debug it, it does not enter the first line:

# test_console.py
from unittest.mock import Mock

import click.testing
import pytest
from pytest_mock import MockFixture

from pdf_split_tool import console

@pytest.fixture
def runner() -> click.testing.CliRunner:
"""Fixture for invoking command-line interfaces."""
return click.testing.CliRunner()

@pytest.fixture
def mock_pdf_splitter_pdfsplitter(mocker: MockFixture) -> Mock:
"""Fixture for mocking pdf_splitter.PdfSplitter."""
return mocker.patch("pdf_split_tool.pdf_splitter.PdfSplitter", autospec=True)

def test_main_uses_specified_filepath(
runner: click.testing.CliRunner,
mock_pdf_splitter_pdfsplitter: Mock,
) -> None:
"""It uses the specified filepath."""
result = runner.invoke(console.main, ["test.pdf"])
assert result.exit_code == 0


I couldn't see why it is giving since the debugger did not enter the first line of function main(). Any ideas of what could be wrong?
