Missing warnings with pytest --forked option

[kir0ul]

Hi,

I found out in openai/gym#2647 that the pytest --forked option seems to miss to report many warnings.

With the --forked option I get only 2 warnings:

❯ docker run gym-docker pytest --forked --import-mode=append

Now without the --forked option I get ~1500 warnings:

Steps to reproduce:

git clone git@github.com:openai/gym.git
cd gym
wget https://www.roboti.us/file/mjkey.txt
docker build -f py.Dockerfile --build-arg MUJOCO_KEY=./mjkey.txt --build-arg PYTHON_VERSION=3.10 --tag gym-docker .

Then run either docker run gym-docker pytest --forked --import-mode=append or docker run gym-docker pytest --import-mode=append

Let me know if I can do anything else to help troubleshoot!
