Running tests that are not in the src structure
Closed this issue · 5 comments
I've tried the wheel building workflows and I can't get it to work if the package has the tests separate from the code, e.g.
package
| src/
| | ...
| tests /
| | ...
| pyproject.toml
I think the reason for this is the wheel building workflows only have the installed dist available, so if you aren't packaging your tests you can't run your tests.
I guess also for the pure-python flavor?

Thanks for the quick diagnosis!
That is a major drawback. The tests in tests/
all do import <package>
, so they should pick up the installed dist, if only the folder could be accessed by pytest
. Is there any way to cd
into the folder and run the tests/
?
You should be able to run extra commands before running pytest. If you try test_command: cd $GITHUB_WORKSPACE; pytest tests/
(or maybe even test_command: pytest $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/tests/
) in your workflow config, pytest should be able to successfully collect the tests within your repo's tests/
directory.
I ended up finding that {project}
links to $HOME/../projects/
