Thanks for submitting a PR, your contribution is really appreciated!

Here's a quick checklist that should be present in PRs (you can delete this text from the final description, this is
just a guideline):

• Create a new changelog file in the changelog folder, with a name like <ISSUE NUMBER>.<TYPE>.rst. See changelog/README.rst for details.
• Target the master branch for bug fixes, documentation updates and trivial changes.
• Target the features branch for new features and removals/deprecations.
• Include documentation when adding new features.
• Include new tests or update existing tests when applicable.

Unless your change is trivial or a small documentation fix (e.g., a typo or reword of a small section) please:

• Add yourself to AUTHORS in alphabetical order;

Thanks @fzarifian! Would you like to add yourself to AUTHORS?

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

great collaboration 👍

[nicoddemus]

Hmm perhaps we should follow the general idea taken in #4335 and instead set active to False in the stepwise plugin if config doesn't have a cache attribute?

[nicoddemus]

Hmm but I see this has the advantage of working with the standalone pytest-stepwise plugin too, although the current released version does not work with the latest pytest anyway.

[fzarifian]

Thanks a lot for your help resolving the issue ;)
Have a nice day

[nicoddemus]

In the end I don't think it matters much, merging. Thanks @fzarifian again!
