221: How to get pytest to import your code under test
Manage episode 421789044 series 1952312
We've got some code we want to test, and some tests.
The tests need to be able to import the code under test, or at least the API to it, in order to run tests against it.
How do we do that? How do we set things up so that our tests can import our code?
In this episode, we discuss two options:
- Installing the code under test as a pip installable package with `pip install -e /path/to/local/package`.
- Using the pythonpath pytest setting.
Learn pytest
- pytest is the number one test framework for Python.
- Learn the basics super fast with Hello, pytest!
- Then later you can become a pytest expert with The Complete pytest Course
- Both courses are at courses.pythontest.com
