Tox WARNING:test command found but not installed in testenv

Question

I am using tox for my project.

Here is my tox.ini file:

[tox]
envlist =
    py27,
    lint,
    coverage

skipsdist = True

[testenv:py27]
dep         


        

Answer 1

https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html

here ，set this option，maybe，you pass

sitepackages=false(true|false) Set to true if you want to create virtual environments that also have access to globally installed packages.

Warning In cases where a command line tool is also installed globally you have to make sure that you use the tool installed in the virtualenv by using python -m (if supported by the tool) or {envbindir}/.

If you forget to do that you will get a warning like this:

WARNING: test command found but not installed in testenv
    cmd: /path/to/parent/interpreter/bin/<some command>
    env: /foo/bar/.tox/python
Maybe you forgot to specify a dependency? See also the whitelist_externals envconfig setting.

Answer 2

The question is old but the answers do not apply to my situation. In my case, once I changed the [testenv] to [env], it works. This is because my Python virtual environment is named as "env".

Answer 3

I don't know why, but to solve I had to clone my repo again. The repo reset doesn't solve only the full clone.

Answer 4

Programs that you use in commands must either be installed in tox' virtual environment or whitelisted:

[tox]
envlist =
    py27,
    lint,
    coverage

skipsdist = True

[testenv:py27]
deps = -rrequirements.txt
whitelist_externals = python
commands = python -m unittest discover -s ./tests

[testenv:coverage]
whitelist_externals = coverage
commands =
    coverage run --source=tests -m unittest discover -s tests/
    coverage html
    coverage report


[testenv:lint]
whitelist_externals = pylint
commands = pylint ./foo
