[issue8547] unittest test discovery can fail when package under test is also installed globally
New submission from Michael Foord mich...@voidspace.org.uk: When test discovery is invoked on a package on the filesystem which is also installed in site-packages then importing the tests will look in the installed version. This causes discovery to run the wrong tests or fail. We can detect this (compare the __file__ against the expected location) and also insert the top level path as the first location in sys.path instead of appending it to the end. If we detect a failed import then we should error out with an appropriate message. (Nose gets round this by patching __import__ to import from a specific location which seems potentially fragile.) -- assignee: michael.foord components: Library (Lib) messages: 104313 nosy: michael.foord priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: unittest test discovery can fail when package under test is also installed globally type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8547 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
