[TIP] User defined pytest parameter in setup

[Brian Okken]

Fabian,
Use the new `pytestconfig` fixture.

# --------- conftest.py

def pytest_addoption(parser):
    parser.addoption("--name", action="store", default="default name")

#  ------- test_param.py
import pytest

@pytest.fixture()
def name(pytestconfig):
    return pytestconfig.getoption("name")

def test_print_name(name):
        print(f"\ncommand line param (name): {name}")

# ---- test run
$ pytest -q -s --name Brian test_param.py
command line param (name): Brian
.
1 passed in 0.01 seconds
