calling `logging.basicConfig` before `pytest.main()` causes `OSError: [WinError 6] The handle is invalid`

Related: #12876 #5743 #5502 #5282 and probably a lot more

OS: Windows
Python: 3.13.7
pytest: 9.0.2

Calling logging.basicConfig() before pytest.main() and then using logging.info/warn/... inside a test will add lengthy, noisy error logs to the test's stderr capture. This noise is an obstacle in test debugging.

Minimal working example

Run the following in PowerShell:

python --version
# Python 3.13.7
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install pytest
pip show pytest
# Version: 9.0.2

@"
import logging, pytest

def test_pass():
    logging.warning('warn')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    logging.basicConfig()
    pytest.main()
"@ | Out-File -FilePath "test_main.py" -Encoding utf8
@"
import logging, pytest

@pytest.hookimpl(trylast=True)
def pytest_runtest_logreport(report):
    logging.warning(report.capstderr)
"@ | Out-File -FilePath "conftest.py" -Encoding utf8
python test_main.py
# --- Logging error ---
# Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "C:\Users\ABrun\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.13.7\Lib\logging\__init__.py", line 1154, in emit
#     stream.write(msg + self.terminator)
#     ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# OSError: [WinError 6] The handle is invalid

The package python-html is using the pytest_runtest_logreport hook to generate the html output:

@pytest.hookimpl(trylast=True)
def pytest_runtest_logreport(self, report):

python --version
# Python 3.13.7
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install pytest pytest-html
pip show pytest
# Version: 9.0.2
pip show pytest-html
# Version: 4.2.0

@"
import logging, pytest

def test_pass():
    logging.warning('warn')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    logging.basicConfig()
    pytest.main(['--html=out.html'])
"@ | Out-File -FilePath "test_main.py" -Encoding utf8
python test_main.py
python -c "import re; print(re.search(r';log(.*?-.*?)#34', open('out.html').read()).group(1).replace('\\n', '\n'))"
# --- Logging error ---
# Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "C:\Users\ABrun\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.13.7\Lib\logging\__init__.py", line 1154, in emit

A workaround would be appreciated. I have tried the ones from the other issues but they did not prevent that error message. The comment https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13720#issuecomment-3284628303 mentions caplog. Is there a way to use caplog to avoid that error message?

Start by reproducing the Windows failure with the test_main.py and conftest.py minimal examples, focusing on logging.basicConfig(), pytest.main(), and pytest_runtest_logreport. Read the referenced caplog discussion and hook behavior first. Done means the reproduction no longer emits noisy OSError: [WinError 6] logging errors while captured test output and pytest-html reporting still work.
