E   IndentationError: unexpected indent

You can replicate it with a file containing

class Foo:

    def bar(self):
        """

        Arguments
        ---------

        """
        # a
# b

        pass

and you can avoid the error with several varying changes, like matching the indent of # b to # a, changing Arguments to something else (except Args), or removing the newlines in the docstring

Thank you for your reporting, but it is the issue of pydocstyle, not pytest-docstyle.
Can you open a issue in pydocstyle?
