Failed build of Python project in Travis CI with unclear message

Question

I'm learning "by doing" Python (and some libraries) with a small personal project.

I have been working with a Minimal Product Viable approach, then I'm negleting some best pratices about the file and directory organization.

Furthermore I use this occasion to learn pytest (I used to test with unittest library) and Travis for the continous integration.

I created a specific branch to test and consolidate my configuration in travis file, but after some test I'm blocked.

With this configuration

language: python
#python version
python: 3.8.6 
#define dependencsy
install:
  - pip install -r requirements.txt
# put testing framework
script: pytest
# allowed only these branch
branches:
  only:
  - master
  - develop
  - join-travis

I receive this error :

tests/test_NumberDays.py:61:

tests/numberdays.py:20: in init

self.log = PersonalLogging() tests/personalLogging.py:11: in init

logging.config.fileConfig("config-log.ini", disable_existing_loggers=False)

raise KeyError(key) E KeyError: 'formatters'

I think the problem of KeyError: 'formatters' is :

logging.config.fileConfig("config-log.ini", disable_existing_loggers=False)

I create a personal logging class ( PersonalLogging ) that incapsulate the standard logging class and the ini config file is in the same directory of the other classes (ND I know, It s horrible, in the future I will correct the structure of the project: guys, do not take my example or your Team Leader will fire you at work ^__^).

Now I have two problems:

1. If my hypothesis is correct, how I an fix it and have a successfull build?
2. If my hypothesis is uncorrect, what are (1) the correct explenation and (2) the solution?

Thank in advance

Answer 1

Problem solved.

For same cause that I don't remember, I changed the name of file and pushed without testing the project with pytest .

Then, Travis did'nt find the config file of logging.

In local, after running the project, I had the same error ( KeyError in formatters): the problem is the unreadable file
