Initial pytest 'no module test' error

[zaxhutchinson]

First install. Followed linux instructions. Ran into an error(?) running pytest. Got the following error and coverage failed at 39%.

_________________________________________________ ERROR collecting tests/lava/tutorials/test_tutorials.py __________________________________________________
ImportError while importing test module '/home/zax/Projects/lava/tests/lava/tutorials/test_tutorials.py'.
Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.
Traceback:
/usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/__init__.py:126: in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
tests/lava/tutorials/test_tutorials.py:13: in <module>
    from test import support
E   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'test'

I don't know much about the test module. I can't even import it on my system.

I changed the call in name == "main" to just:
unittest.main()
since the class inherits from unittest. And it worked (89% coverage). But I'm not sure if the original call had different magic.

OS: Manjaro
Python: 3.10.4

Best to file errors like these as issues instead of opening a discussion. Thanks.

I doubt this is a bug, but rather an issue with the environment in Manjaro. @zaxhutchinson Try installing python-tests and try again.

In some cases it looks like Arch based distros don't install the correct python-tests dependency. See the old comment in this thread https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-iniparse "Without the package python-tests I have an error when I try to install this package. Maybe this should be added to the dependency list?"
