pytest watch seems to fail when pyproject.toml is used as a config file about pytest-watch HOT 7 OPEN

Faced the same issue and investigated my pyproject.toml

anytime you have

variable=[
    ....
]

I change to (note the 4 spaces)

variable=[
    ....
    ]

PTW works like a charm

btw moving pytest configuration form pyproject.toml to pytest.ini did the trick but I would prefer to not have extra config files

Same problem here.

folks how can one simple mortal format a file in a way where this does not happen but you keep your pytest config on your pyproject.toml?

As we can see in the trace, this tool only implements parsing using the configparser — it assumes pytest config are only ini files. What I see the next steps are for pytest-watch to stop bootstrapping off of pytest.config and start handling their own parsing of pytest.ini, pyproject.toml, and any legacy config files.

@joeyespo Any interest of accepting contributions to this?
