pytest 9.1.0: conftest.py addoption regressed in nested directories #14608
Description
For a directory like below:
|- A
|- conftest.py
|- B
|- conftest.py (<== we have addoption here)
When we invoke the test from directory A, the CLI args added through addoption in B/conftest.py was loaded correctly.
The new version seems to fail here.
It throwspytest: error: unrecognized arguments: <args-list>
