New issue 529: "unique basename" and __init__.py docs https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/pytest/issue/529/unique-basename-and-__init__py-docs
Thomas Güttler: Our tests don't have unique basenames, since we use this pattern: The tests for admin.py is located in tests/unit/test_admin.py There are several apps in one project which have an admin.py. This way we get the well known error message: ``` import file mismatch: imported module 'test_admin' has this __file__ attribute: foo/tests/unit/views/test_admin.py which is not the same as the test file we want to collect: bar/tests/unit/test_admin.py HINT: remove __pycache__ / .pyc files and/or use a unique basename for your test file modules ``` Our current solution is to create `__init__.py` files. This is against the docs: *avoid “__init__.py” files in your test directories. This way your tests can run easily against an installed version of mypkg, independently from the installed package if it contains the tests or not. * Please think about this again. For me, the constraint to have unique base names way to hard. Maybe the best solution is to update the docs: *If you avoid __init__.py files you can ....* I don't think every one should avoid `__init__.py` files. _______________________________________________ pytest-commit mailing list pytest-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pytest-commit
