Description
I work on windows with a Pixi environement.
If i do not set the reporter at verify call, I get this error:
RuntimeError: This machine has no reporter configuration
Even with --approvaltests-use-reporter:
$ pixi run pytest tests --approvaltests-use-reporter='PythonNative'

Research direction
Reproduce the failure in the pytest plugin on Windows with a Pixi environment, first using the verify call without a reporter and then using --approvaltests-use-reporter='PythonNative' or APPROVAL_TESTS_USE_REPORTER. Trace how the plugin reads these settings; done means the configured reporter is used instead of raising the missing reporter configuration error.
