I have had a look at several different topics on this matter but can't work out how to apply it to my situation. I don't have an init.py in my test folder and I have tried to use conftest. I have a directory structure like this:
--app
--app.py
--src
--init.py
--module1.py
--module2.py
--module3.py
--configs
--config.json
--non-default-config.json
--tests
--test1.py
--conftest.py
where app.py imports module1, which then imports modules 2&3 (using import src.module2). I load up config.json in all the modules files (and app.py) using:
with open('configs/config.json') as f:
CFG = json.load(f)
This works when I run app.py from the app directory. However, when I run pytest (which I believe should also be referencing from the app directory, since conftest.py is in the app directory) and it imports module1 (using import src.module1), it cannot find configs/config.json, but will find app/configs/config.json. I cannot use this as it will cause my app to break when I run app.py. However, Pytest can find the imports from within the src folder, even though this is on the same level as the configs folder.
If I move the conftest.py outside of the app directory and import module1 using import app.src.module1 then this import succeeds, but the import of module2 inside module1 then fails.
How can I resolve this issue? And is there a better way of structuring my project?
