使用pytest测试python脚本-权限问题

Question

I have unit tested my modules using pytest without issue. I would also like to test my script (which imports some of the modules), but I am getting a permission error. I am new to writing larger python projects that actually need to be tested and maintained, so my directory structure may be non-optimal, so please let me know if that is the case. My directory structure looks like -

parent
 modules
  __init__.py
  module1.py
  ...
 test
  ...
  test_script.py
 script.py

My test code:

import os
import subprocess
import train

def test_train_dataset1():
  #run the script
  p = subprocess.Popen(['./train.py', 'test_models', 'test1', 'data/temp.json', '--isfile'])
  #more code to check output

My error:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: './train.py'

Answer 1

Permission denied: './train.py' is most certainly mean the file is not executable. To fix:

chmod a+x ./train.py

Also verify it has a proper shebang line ( #!/usr/bin/python or such).

PS. When you do import train do you import from the same train.py ? If not — you shouldn't give the script the same name as a module/package you're gonna import.
