Description
pip list: pip-list.txt
Minimal example project: pytest_test.zip
Steps to repro: Run pytest --doctest-modules inside the unzipped project.
As you can see, I'm injecting temp_h5 into doctest_namespace but it isn't recognized. The conftest.py is picked up as seen by the other test.

Research direction
Unpack the linked minimal example project, inspect its conftest.py, and first run pytest --doctest-modules as described. Trace how doctest_namespace is applied during doctest-modules collection; done means the injected temp_h5 fixture is recognized while the other conftest test continues to pass.
