Question

I am using pytest framework (python /pycharm). when I run the tests directly by clicking on the folder -right click and select run pytest in abc - it works fine BUT when I am trying to run it via terminal, it gives me the following error I have trying removing init file in the folder as suggested in other forums but still get the below error which I am copied below for your reference

ImportError while importing test module 'C:\SyAutomation\automation-tests\ZProjects\AutomationSy\regpytestframework\Test_Results_My_Profile_Module.py'.
Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.

Basically you need to let python know where your code is, by default it looks in your current directory and in site-packages . One way to do that is by creating a python package . This effectively installs your code in site-packages

An easier way to do that however, is to use the environment variable PYTHONHPATH (which is probably what pycharm does). This environment variable is used by python to look for extra code. So you just have to do:

Powershell

$Env:PYTHONPATH = "C:\SyAutomation\automation-tests\ZProjects"

Shell

export PYTHONPATH="C:\SyAutomation\automation-tests\ZProjects"

Windows terminal

setx PYTHONPATH "C:\SyAutomation\automation-tests\ZProjects"
