Question

Hello again So I m having a hard time getting tests to run with django The repo is here <https github com xuru monolith to monorepo tree pants baseline> and this the error it s giving me ```ImportError No module named config pytest django could not find a Django project no manage py file could be found You must explicitly add your Django project to the Python path to have it picked up ``` Somehow pytest django can t figure out where `config settings` is Any help is appreciated

Have you looked at <https github com pantsbuild example django> It demos a bunch of the wiring needed

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

Specifically this is how it points pytest django to your settings py

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

it demonstrates how to do this for multiple different settings py services in the same repo

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

I guess in this case it actually programmatically sets your settings but you can simply import them instead

I think part of the problem is that it s failing to load the `config` module in the pytest django plugin before it ever gets to the conftest py but I could be wrong

lemon-helicopter-73409 · Answer

The `config` `mtom` and `manage py` are at the top level of the repo and `mtom BUILD` is where I set the `python tests` target

lemon-helicopter-73409 · Answer

yeah verified that it doesn t get to the `conftest py` file

Hmm so the debugging path is see how your setup differs from the example repo and start eliminating differences

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

At least temporarily for debugging purposes

lemon-helicopter-73409 · Answer

I think I just figured it out

lemon-helicopter-73409 · Answer

I added `dependencies= config ` to the `python tests`

lemon-helicopter-73409 · Answer

I thought it would figure that out but I guess I had to be explicit

lemon-helicopter-73409 · Answer

Getting lots of warnings about multiple targets owning the settings files now though

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

`conftest py` is useful for loading different settings in different tests but for now there are also other ways to tell pytest django about your settings e g in an env var that you will have to punch through to the test via this option <https www pantsbuild org docs reference subprocess environment env vars>

lemon-helicopter-73409 · Answer

lemon-helicopter-73409 · Answer

Awesome working like a charm Thanks <https github com xuru monolith to monorepo tree pants baseline>

lemon-helicopter-73409 · Answer

Had to pull in dependencies like this `dependencies= req config ` and give the `python tests` target a name
