I have the following project structure
- src
- main.py
- foo
- ...
- test
- test_foo
- ...
- Pipfile
- setup.cfg
If I run pipenv run pytest test I get import errors, because the test folder is outside the src folder and thus I cannot import the files correctly.
Is there a way to mark the src folder as my "source"-folder?
I have found a solution, but I do not know if there is a better one.
I've added a setup.py file, where I defined, that my src folder should be my "source"-folder.
from setuptools import find_packages, setup
setup(
name="data_generation",
package_dir={'': 'src'},
packages=find_packages(where='src'),
)
To install everything I've run pipenv install -e . --dev. This is only needed for the first time, afterwards the Pipfile gets updated, and we can run pipenv install --dev.
Now we can run pipenv run pytest test and do not get any import errors anymore.
src layout (you are testing against the installed code and not against your source code repository).
src-layout or is it fine to use the src-layout?src layout because it makes testing installed packages easy, but if you're not planning to release a library or an application to the world, it may also be an overkill.
