pytest command does not work without workarounds about cookiecutter-pylibrary HOT 5 CLOSED

This is intentional - you are prevented to run the code without installing it. I wrote about this here https://blog.ionelmc.ro/2014/05/25/python-packaging/

If you'd like to work virtualenv-style on your project then perhaps run something alone these lines?

source .tox/py38/bin/activate
pytest ...

from cookiecutter-pylibrary.

then what trick in the tox.ini makes pytest working then ? I cannot figure out. For example, PYTHONPATH=tests shouldn't help

from cookiecutter-pylibrary.

It installs your code in the virtualenv (eg .tox/py38). This a bit more complicated but it could be summed up as python setup.py sdist && .tox/py38/bin/pip install .tox/dists/project-0.1.tar.gz or something like that.

Where are you going with this? What's the actual problem you're having?

from cookiecutter-pylibrary.

well, i am trying to reproduce your config on one on my existing project (moving the project_name into src/project_name) and so far my pytests are not running as smoth as before. Anyway thanks for your efforts/time ! This is a hot topic.

Well you need to install the code into the virtualenv you're gonna tests with. At the very least a venv/bin/python setup.py install. Or just use tox?
