When `--confcutdir` is not specified, and there is no config file present, the conftest cutoff directory (`--confcutdir`) is now set to the :ref:`rootdir`.
Previously in such cases, `conftest.py` files would be probed all the way to the root directory of the filesystem.
If you are badly affected by this change, consider adding an empty config file to your desired cutoff directory, or explicitly set `--confcutdir`.
config: fallback confcutdir to rootpath if inipath is not set Currently, if `--confcutdir` is not set, `inipath.parent` is used, and if `initpath` is not set, then `confcutdir` is None, which means there is no cutoff. Having no cutoff is not great, it means we potentially start probing stuff all the way up to the filesystem root directory. So let's add another fallback, to `rootpath`, which is always something reasonable. 2023-05-27 23:42:37 +08:00			When `--confcutdir` is not specified, and there is no config file present, the conftest cutoff directory (`--confcutdir`) is now set to the :ref:`rootdir`.
