PATH issue with pytest 'ImportError: No module named YadaYadaYada'

Question

I used easy_install to install pytest on a mac and started writing tests for a project with a file structure likes so:

repo/
repo/app.py
repo/settings.py
rep         


        

Answer 1

Very often the tests were interrupted due to module being unable to be imported,After research, I found out that the system is looking at the file in the wrong place and we can easily overcome the problem by copying the file, containing the module, in the same folder as stated, in order to be properly imported. Another solution proposal would be to change the declaration for the import and show MutPy the correct path of the unit. However, due to the fact that multiple units can have this dependency, meaning we need to commit changes also in their declarations, we prefer to simply move the unit to the folder.
