Pytest problems

[saifmode]

Seasons greetings, all!

I'm having some import issues with pytest.

In my bases and component files, I use the truncated style of import, e.g. from my_app.foo import my_func, rather than from bases.my_app.foo import my_func or from components.my_app.bar import whatever.

This works well and my IDE can pick it up.

However, pytest is having issues with it. I tried setting my pytest options in pyproject.toml to:

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
pythonpath = ["bases", "components"]
addopts = ["--import-mode=importlib"]

But the pytest runner can only ever handle truncated imports from the first element in the pythonpath list.

My work around is to just do pythonpath = "components", and then if a test needs to import something from a base file, I do from bases.my_app.foo instead of from my_app.foo.

But I wondered if anyone else has run into this issue, and knows a way of setting up the config so that I can use truncated style imports everywhere in my repo?
