I’m running into an issue where having multiple files @ 
<pants_respective_source>/tests/conftest.py
prevents MyPy checks from running - I’m wondering if this is a pants bug / mypy issue / user error. More details and git example in 🧵
Copy code
packages/package-2/tests/conftest.py: error: Duplicate module named "conftest" (also at "packages/package-1/tests/conftest.py")

We've structured our code to have an extra layer within the 
tests
directory, e.g. 
package-1/tests/_*test_package_1*_/conftest.py
(plus an adjacent 
__init__.py
), so that mypy sees 
test_package_1.conftest
and 
test_package_2.conftest
rather than just 
conftest
. This is a bit clunky though, and we may change it. I believe the pants project itself puts tests in with source, e.g. within 
package-1/package_1/
there's 
foo.py
, 
foo_test.py
, 
conftest.py

What is the relevant source root? (see 
./pants roots
for a list of them as currently configured)
g
Copy code
packages/package-1
packages/package-2
so AFAICT there’s two duplicate modules: 
tests.conftest
regardless of whether I place an 
__init__.py
or pass a combination of 
--explicit-package-bases
/ 
--package-namespace
h
Yes, I'm wondering if this is causing issues
To confirm, what happens if you rename one of them to 
tests1.conftest
?
g
Once you change the name of one of the conftest files there’s no longer a namespace collision and mypy runs fully without being blocked. I also confirmed with a duplicate test file name of 
packages/package-1/tests/test_generic_name.py
and 
packages/package-2/tests/test_generic_name.py
h
Cool, so we know what the issue is
