This is Not Good.
Right, although Jim said he tried this with the same buildout.cfg and
didn't experience the problem. I'd love to know what caused that
different behaviour...
You don't want the test runner to look for tests
under /home/chris/twiddler/, which contains the egg cache directly under
it, as well as your Python packages.
But these module names don't match any test pattern so why would they be
found?
People who use an intermediate 'src/' subdir do not get the problem you
stumbled upon. I think an intermediate directory is a Very Good Idea,
because:
I don't. I hate intermediate directories. I actually hate not being able
to just put setup.py and buildout.py in the twiddler package and
distributing one zipped up folder, however I gave up trying to bash
distutils to do this...
* you want to be able to import 'twiddler', which means
/home/chris/twiddler/ must be in you sys.path
Right.
* you don't want setup.py or bootstrap.py to be in your sys.path, which
contradicts the above requirement
Why don't I want them in my sys.path?
OTOH if you want to keep your current package layout, you need to
convince zc.recipe.testrunner to use a different --test-path
(specifically, '/home/chris/twiddler/twiddler'). I've no idea how to
achieve this. I'd choose the other solution (insert a src/ subdir into
my tree, above the twiddler subdir).
I'm not sure I quite by this, I don't understand why zope.testing is
trying to import something like:
eggs.zc.buildout-1.1.0-py2.5.egg.zc.buildout.tests
The only other thing I can think of: do you maybe have "default user
config files" living in ~ that are influencing zope.testing or
zc.recipe.testrunner in some way?
You can override the egg cache location in a dotfile in your home.
Power users do that to avoid downloading the same eggs over and over
again for each project they're working on.
That sounds like a good idea, but I'd prefer to solve this problem for
anyone who might want to develop packages of mine.
cheers,
Chris
