damccorm opened a new issue, #21072: URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/21072
After spinning up the Docker envt using `start-build-env.sh` and following the instructions to create a virtual environment for python testing [here](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BEAM/Python+Tips), I repeatedly received the error `ImportError: cannot import name 'console_main'` when trying to run pytest. This seems to be due to the pytest version or Dockerfile setup, unclear (see [this pytest issue](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7650) or [this thread](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/issues/24880) for similar examples). Changing `console_main` to `main` in `/usr/local/bin/pytest` as below, i.e. from ``` import re import sys from pytest import main if __name__ == '__console_main__': sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0]) sys.exit(console_main()) ``` to the following ``` import re import sys from pytest import main if __name__ == '__main__': sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0]) sys.exit(main()) ``` allowed me to run pytest within my environment without issue.
