Pytest config in pyproject.toml isn't used in CI #7554
Description
It seems like our pytest config isn't used in our CI. E.g. look at the start of any of our "Test" workflows:
# Run the tests
(cd .. && pytest $TEST_ARGS --pyargs skimage)
++ cd ..
++ pytest --doctest-plus --cov=skimage --showlocals --pyargs skimage
============================= test session starts ==============================

Compare that to invoking pytest locally, e.g. with spin test which lists
configfile: pyproject.toml
I'm not sure why the file isn't found? The printed rootdir seems to be the root folder of our repo? Also about the purpose and effect of cd ...
I noticed this because the warning filter didn't seem to have an effect in #7353.
