I think I get why this error happens. Since option is defined in tests/conftest.py it exists inside tests. Whenever I run pytest outside tests I get unrecognized argument error.

Please update the rerunfailures plugin as well, and please start to use the code formatting feature of github, it’s painful to read unformatted pastes
