From the digging I have done it seems that the capability to do

pytest.config

from

pytest.config.getoption(​'nice'​):

was deprecated in pytest 4.0 and removed from pytest 5.0.

What did work for me was:

def pytest_report_header(config):
    """Thank tester for running tests."""
    if config.getoption("nice"):
        return "Thanks for running the tests."


def pytest_report_teststatus(config, report):
    """Turn failures into opportunities."""
    if report.when == "call":
        if report.failed and config.getoption("nice"):
            return (report.outcome, "O", "OPPORTUNITY for improvement")

Cheers
