Testing with pytest: import that works on GitLab doesn't work in VS Code (and vice versa)-CodePudding

TL;DR: How can I set up my GitLab test pipeline so that the tests also run locally on VS Code?

I'm very new to GitLab pipelines, so please forgive me if the question is amateurish. I have a GitLab repo set up online, and I'm using VS Code to develop locally. I've created a new pipeline, I want to make sure all my unit tests (written with PyTest) run anytime I make a commit.

The issue is, that even though I use the same setup.py file for both places (obviously), I can't get both VS Code testing and the GitLab pipeline test to work at the same time. The issue is, I'm doing an import for my tests, and if I import like

...
from external_workforce import misc_tools
# I want to test functions in this misc_tools module
...

Then it works on GitLab, but not on VS Code, as VS Code gives an error when I'm doing test discovery, namely: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'external_workforce'. However, this works on GitLab. But if I import (in my test_tools.py file, see location below) like this:

...
from hr_datapool.external_workforce import misc_tools 
...

It works in VS Code, but now GitLab is doing a crazy on me saying ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hr_datapool'.

I think the relevant info might be the following, please ask for more if more info is needed!

My file structure is:

.
|__ requirements.txt
    setup.py
    hr_datapool
    |__ external_workforce
        |__ __init__.py
            misc_tools.py
            tests
            |__ test_tools.py
        |__ other_module
            ...

In my pipeline editor (the .gitlab-ci.yml file) I have:

image: python:3.9.7

variables:
  PIP_CACHE_DIR: "$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.cache/pip"

cache:
  paths:
    - .cache/pip
    - venv/

before_script:
  - python --version  # For debugging
  - pip install virtualenv
  - virtualenv venv
  - source venv/bin/activate
  - pip install -r requirements.txt

test:
  script:
    - pytest --pyargs hr_datapool #- python setup.py test

run:
  script:
    - python setup.py bdist_wheel
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - dist/*.whl

And finally, my setup.py is:

import re
from unittest import removeResult
from setuptools import setup, find_packages

with open('requirements.txt') as f:
    requirements = f.read().splitlines()
    for req in ['wheel', 'bar']:
        requirements.append(req)
    
setup(
   name='hr-datapool',
   version='0.1',
   ...
   packages=find_packages(), 
   install_requires=requirements,
)

Basically, the question is: How can I set up my GitLab test pipeline so that the tests also run locally on VS Code? Thank you!

CodePudding user response：

The PYTHONPATH caused the problem.

As external_workforce parent folder path -> the path of hr_datapool in the PYTHONPATH when you are using GitLab. While hr_datapool parent folder path in the PYTHONPATH when you are using VSCode.

Are you running the test in the terminal on the VSCode? And have you added this in the settings.json file?

  "terminal.integrated.env.windows": {
    "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder};"
  },

Then you can execute pytest in the terminal on the VSCode. But you have not configured this in GitLab instead of adding hr-datapool( - pytest --pyargs hr_datapool or setup( name='hr-datapool',), so you will get the error message.
