I am trying to use the testing extension in VSCode with the Python extension. I am using pytest as my testing library. My folder structure looks like this:
PACKAGENAME/ ├─ PACKAGENAME/ │ ├─ __init__.py │ ├─ main.py ├─ tests/ │ ├─ test_main.py ├─ requirements.txt
In the test_main.py
file I am trying to import the package code, in order to test it:
from PACKAGENAME import *
From the command line, in the root directory, PACKAGENAME
, I can use the command python -m pytest
which runs the tests fine. There are no issues with modules not being found. However, when I try to use the VSCode testing tab, the tests are discovered, but this errors:
=================================== ERRORS ==================================== _____________________ ERROR collecting tests/test_main.py _____________________ ImportError while importing test module 'd:PATHTOPACKAGENAMEteststest_main.py'. Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names. Traceback: C:UsersUSERanaconda3envsunilibimportlib__init__.py:127: in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) teststest_main.py:1: in <module> from PACKAGENAME import * E ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PACKAGENAME' =========================== short test summary info ===========================
Is there any way to get this working without having to use the command line?

Answer
I suggest that you try like this:
- make sure that your VS Code workspace is set to the parent directory of (the root directory)
PACKAGENAME
- add an empty
__init__.py
file intests
directory - in
test_main.py
, replacefrom PACKAGENAME import *
withfrom PACKAGENAME.main import *
