Ah, I think you've hit the nail on the head!! https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11781 And then pytest looks for any __init__.py file it can find, including in unreadable directories... Unfortunately, changing the argument from str(tmpdir) to f"--rootdir={tmpdir}" caused my computer to crash (CPU usage went through the roof until the computer became unresponsive) - clearly there's something not quite right here yet!! Best wishes, Julian
