Some commands not available when using sudo

Hi everyone.
I'm having a weird issue with pytest on my Rocky Linux 9 machine. When I run it with sudo, some commands are not available, as shown below. In my case is particularly the --teamcity command that I need.

$ /bin/python -m pytest --help > help_no_sudo
$ sudo /bin/python -m pytest --help > help_sudo
$ diff help_no_sudo help_sudo

91,92d90
<   --teamcity            force output of JetBrains TeamCity service messages
<   --no-teamcity         disable output of JetBrains TeamCity service messages

< Custom options:
<   --jb-swapdiff         Swap actual/expected in diff
<

<   skippassedoutput (bool):
<                         skip output of passed tests for JetBrains TeamCity
<                         service messages
<   swapdiff (bool):      skip output of passed tests for JetBrains TeamCity
<                         service messages

As you can see, I used the full path for python executable, and the versions with and without sudo are the same:

$ /bin/python -m pytest --version
pytest 7.2.0
$ sudo /bin/python -m pytest --version
pytest 7.2.0

Any ideas? Is this by design?

So the issue is that the plugin pytest-teamcity is not installed for root user.

For what it's worth, I'd try to avoid running pytest as root in the first place - that sounds like quite a footgun...

yeah I know, but most of the tests require root privileges to succeed. They are related to an external application which is dragging a poor design that requires elevated privileges to run.
Thank you!
