Install subpackages for running tests

[chbndrhnns]

I am trying to run all tests in the project from PyCharm. Due to the not-so-common source code layout, I am having trouble to inform PyCharm about the mappings declared in setup.py (e.g. 'wumpy.bot': 'library/wumpy-bot/wumpy/bot',).

Could you guide what's required to run the tests?

You can install the library as a PTH-file (similar to a sym-link or the "editable" setup in setuptools).

1. Setup a virtual environment and activate it

2. Install flit from PyPI with pip install flit

3. Navigate into each subpackage and run flit install --pth-file

---

Keep in mind that some subpackages depend on others, to ensure that they aren't pulled from PyPI you must install the subpackages in the correct order: wumpy-gateway, wumpy-rest, wumpy-models, wumpy-cache and lastly wumpy-bot.

Refer to the test workflow inside of .github/ to see how it sets up the subpackages for the tests.

Thanks, I learned something new (pth files) today.

As an added note, the setup.py file is a work-around to allow the library to be installed from the Git repository - it is not the main way of installing the library.

I am seeing an error about a partially imported package when running the tests in the gateway directory. I think l'll start from scratch with your instructions, again.

This would not be your fault. I made some changes to wumpy-rest which introduced circular imports I had not yet fixed. This should be fixed now.

The tests are still failing on commit a84faee because of not having updated wumpy-testing. Pushed an update to wumpy-testing and re-ran the CI, this now passes.

Sorry you had such a poor first experience

I tried again and the circular imports are gone, thanks!
