In TOX, what is the difference between [env] and [testenv]?

Question

I am working on a fix for tox warnings in my builds: "WARNING: test command found but not installed in testenv"

NOTE: This is a related question but without explanation: Tox WARNING:test command found but not installed in testenv

When I change my tox.ini from [testenv] to [env] the commands run fine without warnings.

I could not find any documentation on [env] vs. [testenv]. Is it that somehow my environment is called ENV vs. TESTENV or am I using the wrapper\parent environment when I specify [env] or ??

Thanks for the help.

Change from `[testenv]` to `[env]` and `tox` ignores unknown section so the commands are simply not run. — phd, May 22 '20 at 22:17
You should put this as an answer. You're spot on. I see that now. — Patrick, May 22 '20 at 22:38

tox knows nothing about [env]. Change from [testenv] to [env] and tox ignores unknown section so the commands are simply not run.
