Running tests via pytest fails while collecting tests

Support Developer
1

Preface: I know that the official way to run the test-suites is using tox resp. unittest. Anyhow, for Guix packaging we use pytest to run the test-suites as this allows to easily exclude test (e.g. those requiring network). This worked well when I last updated Tryton (to 7.0, never published these patches).

When trying to run the testsuite with a guix as of today, even quite simple modules fail. Passing: e.g. currency, currenty-ro; failing: party, currency-rs.

pytests fails during the collection phase already. Any idea what could cause this reason and how to work around it?

Running pytett with –debug does not give any hint.

I remember trying once and running into the same problem, but I never took the time to dig deeper.

The error probably means that many instances of the pool were started, possibly concurrently, which leads to the assertion error (because the same cache would be registered multiple times).

I would check if pytests concurrently scans for tests, if it is the case just disabling this behaviour could be enough.

I was able to work around (resp. solve) this by running pytest basically like this:

pytest --rootdir tests tests
