pytest + pylint - unused arguments #127

Describe the bug

POC: https://github.com/flamusdiu/pytest-poc-bug

If you create a test file as:

def t(a):
    pass

Why you might do this? Maybe there is some dynamic testing or something where you want to change the function. However this causes an exception: https://github.com/flamusdiu/pytest-poc-bug/blob/main/error.txt

To Reproduce

Test Requirements

astroid==3.3.9; python_version >= '3.12'
pylint==3.3.7; python_version >= '3.12'
pylint-pytest==1.1.8 # suppresses false positives from pytest
pytest==8.2.0; python_version >= '3.12'

Expected behavior
This probably shouldn't error out due to this kind of function
