Hi Florian,
I have this problem as well and was trying to find a better solution before
bringing up this issue, but let me share my solution so far.
The problem is that the mechanism for plugin discovered used by pytest
(setupttools entry points) doesn't work with frozen executables so pytest
can't find any plugins.
The workaround I currently use is to add this to my `conftest.py`:
def pytest_configure(config):
# Manually import pytest-qt because disutils cannot find it on its own
when running tests inside
# an executable.
if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False):
import pytestqt.plugin
config.pluginmanager.register(pytestqt.plugin, 'pytest-qt')
# and any other plugins
Another solution would be to explicitly pass the plugin in the command line
using `-p pytestq.plugin`.
I still would like for this to work out of the box somehow though, so if
anyone has any suggestions/ideas they are welcome.
