Running tests in a sibling directory to code

[sodhiar]

In a shared root, I have a src and a tests folder. When from that root I run pipenv run pytest ., I get the error that my auth module can't be found for this test:

from auth.models.user import User

class TestUser:
    def test_valid_pass():
        assert User.validate_pass("abcdefgh")

Someone suggested I create a setup.py, which I did, but when I do, I have to turn my import into from src.auth.models.user import User, but then all my modules require being redone to src.whatever. I can't figure out how to properly path my tests.

This is my setup.py https://gist.github.com/rohitsodhia/7496...d2cc90bc49

Updated my setup.py to set

packges=find_packages(where="src/*"),

It seems to now pick up all the files directly under src, but not any of the directories, like src/auth

use source as top level package: don't use package_dir, look for packages in the project root dir (packages=find_packages() without explicitly stating where

More info on packages remapping can be found in Listing whole packages section.

One thing to remember! add __init__.py to every subfolder you are importing from... you may also want to look at

sys.path.insert(0, os.getcwd())
