I have a Python3 project arranged as follows:
C:\automation\framework\constants.py
C:\automation\tests\unit-tests\test_myunittest.py
In my unit test, I'm trying to call methods in framework folder, which has the required init.py file At the start of my unit test, I have the following imports:
import pytest
from framework import constants
When I call pytest, it throws the following error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'framework'
How do I fix this?
Most likely your directory (C:\automation\framework) is not on the python sys.path, so python cannot find the package framework.
You could test this by checking the python path:
from sys import path
for p in path:
print(p)
To fix this you can add the path to framework manually by inserting it
sys.path.append("C:\automation\framework")
But this will only update sys.path for the current python session!
So if you want to add framework permanently you could e.g. use a .pth-file in your python installation site-packages folder.
Just create a new file like C:\PATH_TO_PYTHON\lib\site-packages\framework.pth with content:
C:\automation\framework
See more information on the python module search path here
tests\unit-tests. How is it to know that two directories up is where the framework is located? Either change the working directory, or set thePYTHONPATHenvironment variable.__init__.pynotinit.py
