Hi, Does anyone have experience with unit tests for python packages? It's really useful to spot missing runtime dependencies, but it's a pain to get to work.
Here is what I saw: 1) just running "python -m unittest discover" or "nosetests" or equivalent in the check() function does not work, because the package is not yet installed (so all imports will fail) 2) setuptools is supposed to have a unittest integration such that "python setup.py test" should work out of the box, but in my case it never finds any tests to run 3) I've seen some more... "creative" solutions :) https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/python-coverage#n28 So far, the only working solution I found is playing with PYTHONPATH: cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver/tests" export PYTHONPATH="$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver/src" python -m unittest discover But it's a hack, and it probably won't work with things like 2to3. Any better ideas? Baptiste
