The "plugins" list is a list of instantiated plugin objects. You don't
need this argument at all, i think.

You rather should create a file with your test code in it and then
run:  

    pytest.main(["--junitxml=PATH_TO_RESULT", "-qq", path_to_testfile, ])

If this doesn't work, please send the output that you get and/or a full
example.

best,
holger
