Method parseconfig

src/_pytest/pytester.py:1234–1255

Return a new pytest :class:`pytest.Config` instance from given commandline args. This invokes the pytest bootstrapping code in _pytest.config to create a new :py:class:`pytest.PytestPluginManager` and call the :hook:`pytest_cmdline_parse` hook to create a new :class:
