Issue
In my Azure DevOps Pipeline
(https://dev.azure.com/TheNewThinkTank/dark-matter-attractor/_build?definitionId=2&_a=summary)
I have a test stage from where I wish to install and run pytest on all Python files in the corresponding Azure DevOps repository
(https://dev.azure.com/TheNewThinkTank/_git/dark-matter-attractor).
The way Pytest is installed and run follows the official Microsoft documentation:
- script: |
pip install pytest
pip install pytest-cov
pytest tests --doctest-modules --junitxml=junit/test-results.xml --cov=. --cov-report=xml --cov-report=html
displayName: 'Test with pytest'
Which can be found at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/ecosystems/python?view=azure-devops
Running the Pipeline results in an error at the above step:
pytest: command not found
If you wish to see the full traceback:
Other things I have tried:
Following the official pytest site (https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/getting-started.html), I tried adding a flag to the install command:
pip install -U pytest, but with the same outcome.
What is preventing the Pipeline from discovering the installed pytest module?
Solution
Please try python -m pytest:
- script: |
pip install pytest
pip install pytest-cov
python -m pytest tests --doctest-modules --junitxml=junit/test-results.xml --cov=. --cov-report=xml --cov-report=html
displayName: 'Test with pytest'
Modules installed over pip are not recognized as system level command.
