addopts must be within [pytest] (not [tools:pytest]) when in setup.cfg

[reece]

pytest 4.0.0, pytest-cov 2.6.0

pytest does not recognize the addopts or doctest_optionflags options in the following setup.cfg:

[tools:pytest]
addopts = --doctest-modules --doctest-glob='*.rst'
doctest_optionflags = ALLOW_UNICODE ALLOW_BYTES ELLIPSIS NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE

Renaming the section to pytest causes both options to be recognized and the following warning:

_pytest/config/findpaths.py:44: RemovedInPytest4Warning: [pytest] section in setup.cfg files is deprecated, use [tool:pytest] instead.

I am invoking pytest as pytest -v (i.e., not specifying a config, and therefore this appears to be distinct from #1831).

No other config files are present.

Mea culpa. I worked on this for hours. Now I can't reproduce it. No idea why, but closing now. Sorry for the chatter.

JFI: pytest prints the inifile in its header - so check that in general.
