3.1.20: pytest (6.2.4) error

[kloczek]

I'm trying to package your module as rpm packag. So I'm using typical in such case build, install and test cycle used on building package from non-root account:

• "setup.py build"
• "setup.py install --root </install/prefix>"
• "pytest with PYTHONPATH pointing to sitearch and sitelib inside </install/prefix>

May I ask for help because few units are failing:

To me it looks like pytest isn't recent enough or it lacks a plugin. Maybe @Yobmod has a better idea about this though.

[Yobmod]

Hi, sorry for slow reply, I've been away from civilisation.

You're running the tests directly using pytest?
You'll either need to install pip install the test-requirements.txt beforehand, or remove any flags from pyproject.toml that don't work without the corresponding plugin being installed. (e.g. The --force-sugar flag (in pyproject.toml) is used by pytest-sugar. )

[kloczek]

OK I've decided to remove using pytest-sugar as seems like it is only decoration.
After remove pytest is failing with errors.
Just in casse I'm using autogenerated from git tah source tar ball.

These look like the errors I get if git isn't available or is not found.

Did you follow the README instructions for tests?

.... needs the git executable to be installed on the system and available in your PATH for most operations. If it is not in your PATH, you can help GitPython find it by setting the GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE=<path/to/git> environment variable

Important: Right after cloning this repository, please be sure to have executed the ./init-tests-after-clone.sh script in the repository root. Otherwise you will encounter test failures.

If you've done those, then i'm stumped.

I think the error is due to no git_dir being defined. The path given is in helper.py:
GIT_REPO = os.environ.get("GIT_PYTHON_TEST_GIT_REPO_BASE", ospd(ospd(ospd(__file__))))
So if this does not return a string-path to a .git (or a dir containing a .git), AND the backup GIT_DIR env variable is not set then all tests fail.

Do the tests work if you just clone the github repo, run the bash script, and run pytest from the root folder?

git binary is avalable in build env.
OK will try oteher parts of the description.
Thank you.

Additionally, ./init-tests-after-clone.sh should be executed to get the clone ready for running the tests.
