src/_pytest/pytester.py:1448–1472

Run pytest as a subprocess with given arguments. Any plugins added to the :py:attr:`plugins` list will be added using the ``-p`` command line option. Additionally ``--basetemp`` is used to put any temporary files and directories in a numbered directory prefixed with

        self, *args: Union[str, "os.PathLike[str]"], timeout: Optional[float] = None
    )
