This option specifies communication interface between PlatformIO Unit Testing Test Runner and the target device. The possible values are the same as documented for monitor_port option.

test_testing_command¶

Type: String | Multiline Arguments: Yes

A custom testing command that executes test cases and returns results to the standard output.

Typically, a default value for the Native is equal to:

[env:myenv]

test_testing_command =

You can override the default command and pass extra program arguments:

[env:myenv]
platform = native
test_testing_command =
  ${platformio.build_dir}/${this.__env__}/program
  arg1
  --option2
  option2_value

Please note that you can pass extra arguments to the program using CLI and pio test --program-arg option.
