If test port is not specified, PlatformIO will try to detect it automatically.

-d, --project-dir

--without-building

Skip building stage.

--without-uploading

Skip uploading stage.

--without-testing

Skip testing stage.

--no-reset

Disable software reset via Serial.DTR/RST before test running. In this case, need to press “reset” button manually after firmware uploading.

Warning

If board does not support software reset via Serial.DTR/RTS you should add >2 seconds delay before UNITY_BEGIN()`. We need that time to establish a ``Serial communication between host machine and target device. See Unit Testing.

--monitor-rts

Set initial RTS line state for Serial Monitor (0 or 1), default 1. We use it to gather test results via Serial connection.

--monitor-dtr

Set initial DTR line state for Serial Monitor (0 or 1), default 1. We use it to gather test results via Serial connection.

-v, --verbose

Shows detailed information when processing environments.

This option can also be set globally using force_verbose setting or by environment variable PLATFORMIO_SETTING_FORCE_VERBOSE.
