running tests on GitHub and getting the error message below. Weirdly, this error did not occur with the same setup before.

Run python -m tox -- --junit-xml pytest.xml
py38: install_deps> python -I -m pip install pytest pytest-benchmark pytest-xdist
tox: py38
  py38: commands[0]> pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/lab_extension --junit-xml pytest.xml
  ImportError while loading conftest '/home/runner/work/quibbler/quibbler/tests/conftest.py'.

  py38: FAIL code 4 (4.01=setup[3.14]+cmd[0.87] seconds)

Link to the failed test:

Did something change recently in tox? What to do?

tox version 4 has been released a couple of weeks ago.

There were a couple of breaking changes, see https://tox.wiki/en/latest/faq.html#breaking-changes-in-tox-4

I would recommend to create an issue at https://github.com/tox-dev/tox/issues

In the meantime, to get your CI unblocked, I would recommend to pin tox < 4 in your github actions.

  • thanks! indeed, `pip install tox==3.28.0` solved the problem. The issue is now also submitted on GitHub as advised. – royk Dec 28 '22 at 18:19
