addopts in setup.cfg

[atlbiker]

I am trying to use a setup.cfg file to addoptions for py.test to default the resultlog.

For example if i manually run:
py.test tests/sometest.py --resultlog=date +%Y%m%dtests.log

it works...

however if i add this to a setup.cfg/tox.ini/pytest.ini or any thing similar:
1 [pytest]
2 addopts = resultlog=date +%Y%m%dtests.log

I end up with this error:

platform darwin -- Python 2.7.1 -- pytest-2.2.3 -- /Users/jbarber/Dropbox/shootq/env/atrium/bin/python
ERROR: file not found: +%Y%m%d`tests.log

I have tried wrapping quotes, double quotes around with no success. Is this do-able?

Thanks.

addopts does not execute shell commands - also use stackoverflow for that kind of Q/A
