#213 closed defect (wontfix)

tests can't load dependent modules

Reported by: onlyjob Owned by: Antoine Martin
Priority: minor Milestone:
Component: Testing Keywords: patch

Description

Many unit tests fail to load because they can't find their modules:

Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "tests/window_xlib_test.py", line 8, in <module> 
    from winswitch.util.simple_logger import Logger 
ImportError: No module named winswitch.util.simple_logger 

Perhaps there is a more elegant way to fix that what I did in the attached patch, but it works for me.

Thanks.

Hmmm, I set PYTHONPATH when I run them, but you're right that they should work out of the box. Let me think of something... (I don't particularly like the patch approach)

Patch must be horrible and ugly because I don't know python at all. :)

It is merely a dirty fix to the extent of my ignorance.

I'm sure you know how to make it better.

Perhaps I should try setting PYTHONPATH as you do...

Thank you.

Cheers,
Dmitry.

Thanks for PYTHONPATH hint.

IMHO this bug can be closed by providing script to properly invoke tests that are reasonable to run after every build, as batch.

Resolution: wontfix
Status: acceptedclosed
export PYTHONPATH=.
./tests/sound/sound_util_test.py
./tests/util/utmp_test.py
#etc

Sorry but there is nothing to fix in the code itself, just set PYTHONPATH.

Many thanks - I already dropped the patch from packaging in favour of PYTHONPATH (can you believe, I didn't know about it).
