parser.addoption is not working if the argument value is alluredir

[ChrstnAnsl]

I'm encountering an error when attempting to add --alluredir in conftest.py. The error message points to a conflict in argparse.py:

\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\argparse.py", line 1621, in _handle_conflict_error
    raise ArgumentError(action, message % conflict_string)

It seems that --alluredir is already registered, causing a conflict. What would be the best approach to handle this and set a default directory without overriding existing configurations? Our target is to check if the allure key is set to true into our configuration before running the --alluredir

pytest and operating system

• OS = Windows 11
• Pytest = 7.4.0

Code example

def pytest_addoption(parser):
    if config.settings.allure:
        parser.addoption("--alluredir", default="allure-results", action="store")

The ask is unclear

The option in question is owned by the allure plugin

I'm unaware of mechanisms to configure/ reconfigure it

Please bring the requirement up with the allure project

Converting to a discussion since this is not a bug.
