Suggestion: use global (/local) config file for default settings about pytest-watch HOT 5 CLOSED

Makes sense to me.

Are you interested in implementing?

For reference, here's how pytest searches for the config file. I think we could even import pytest and use its API to find the config file so we're not duplicating any code.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hmm, instead of using a different config file we could just store it as a section in one of tox.ini, pytest.ini and just use pytest machinery to pick it up. Many packages already do that (e.g. flake8, pep8, coverage support all of those standard files).

I'm interested in implementing but realistically I won't have any time for that till a few weeks from now :/ So if someone steps in and hacks it together that would be very cool.

Oh yes, that's what I was suggesting. (Guess I wasn't too clear about re-using pytest.ini though.)

It's all good! I'll mark this as "help wanted" for now. Thanks!

Just published v3.8.0 which contains this feature.

The implementation doesn't contain addopts though because you can add config directly to the [pytest] section instead. Let me know if this help, @aldanor.

Thanks, @aldanor and @bendtherules!
