Thank you for this PR. Could you please additionally write a test which shows that the bug is now fixed?

Additionally tests seem to fail in pytest < 7. We currently support pytest >= 6.1.

I added a test to verify that the bug is fixed.

The implementation should now be compatible with pytest >= 6.1. I have forgotten the versions lower than 7 before. Sorry for that.

Thank you for fixing the code and adding a test.

Thank you for (reviewing) this PR. 😃

I just released https://pypi.org/project/pytest-rerunfailures/11.1/ containing this fix.

These changes seem to cause #206. @lukasNebr Do you have an idea what could cause that error?

I have no idea whats the cause of this error. I tried to reproduce the behavior but I was not successful.

Basically the pytest_runtest_protocol hook starts the setup, calls the test method and executes the teardown. As a part of teardown the pytest_runtest_teardown hook will be executed.

As you can see in the code the execution_count for an item is set (line 563) before the setup is executed (line 572). So in the teardown the attribute should exist.

If you have also no idea what the cause of the error is I would implement a workaround to avoid the error.

Regarding to #206 the problem is caused if another plugin also defines pytest_runtest_protocol. Let's move the discussion how to solve this problem over there.
