🧵responses please to not detract from the current convo - I'm looking into a temporary workaround for this issue, specifically I need to set

DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

for specific directories / per-

python_tests

. Maybe someone has a solution for this? I've made some attempts with pytest hooks to no avail

cc @happy-kitchen-89482, does this ring a bell? You have more Django experience than me

We do that by having a conftest.py file and those call to an common conftest.py file which does common things.

See https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.5/docs/python-test-goal#conftestpy for more info on how Pants hooks into conftest.py

so ^^ this is the conftest at the module level.

This indeed ties in to my upcoming DjancoCon EU workshop

and then we have the "common" conftest.py (the one imported in the module local conftest.py):

But yeah, instead of setting DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE we use the

pytest_configure()

hook in a

conftest.py

in the relevant dir

looks roughly like this (I redacted a bunch of things, but I think the general idea is understandable):

great, thanks! that helps a lot
