Pytest fails because of pytest_django

[hkveeranki]

• I installed both pytest and pytest-django libraries in my laptop. Then I wanted to run pytest in a folder in which tests have no dependency of django.
  • Expected: I expected everything to run smoothing
  • What actually happeened? pytest failed with the error

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured:` Requested settings, but settings are not configured.
You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

• Pytest version: 3.5.1, Operating System : Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS

I don't know whether this is an intended feature or a bug.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #2202 (Pytest fails to capture doctest traceback?), #955 (pytest fails to register pytest-cov), #1045 (pytest-warnings fails tests since 2.8), #2040 (isfile check fails within pytest), and #2114 (Could pytest --last-failed skip test collection?).

Seems to me like this is pytest-django specific, would you mind report this issue there? Thanks!
