Travis & pytest-qt

[bh]

Hi, I'm using pytest-qt (with PySide) on Travis. I got an error while running the GUI tests for the QT interface:

https://travis-ci.org/bh/python-keepass-httpd/jobs/24874738

Do you have an idea how to resolve this issue?

Hi Benjamin,

I had a lot of work in order to make pytest-qt's tests run on travis as well. 😃

The error you are having is that pytest-qt is unable to import PySide or PyQt4. I noticed you are already using apt-get in order to install python-pyside, the only problem is that apt-get installs those on the system and the virtual environment setup by travis does not include system libraries. I worked around that by manually creating a link from the system into the virtual environment (as you can see in the .travis.yaml file):

sudo apt-get install -qq python-pyside;
ln -s /usr/lib/python$TRAVIS_PYTHON_VERSION/dist-packages/PySide /home/travis/virtualenv/python$TRAVIS_PYTHON_VERSION/lib/python$TRAVIS_PYTHON_VERSION/site-packages -v;

With this pytest-qt should be able to import PySide. You can put this line after the link to ensure it imports correctly:

python -c "import PySide; print(PySide.__file__)"

I also reported issue #7 to provide a better error message.

Let me know how that goes.

Cheers

Ahhh ok, I thought that
bash $ tox --sitepackages
includes all packages which are installed on the system Python. Mhhhh...

I think the problem is that, at that point, tox is seeing only the "virtual env" python, which does not include the system libraries.

I had tried to add:

virtualenv:
  system_site_packages: true

to the travis.yml. It seems that this works. But I got an another error:

Thank you.

Hi Benjamin,

I see you are using pytest-qt 1.0.2. Can you try against 1.1? I have some
changes to the packaging to make it more similar to other pytest plugins.

Cheers,

Excellent, that works:
https://travis-ci.org/bh/python-keepass-httpd/jobs/25237783

BTW: the new code in .travis.yml:

virtualenv:
  system_site_packages: true

works fine without symlinking. Try it!

Thank you! :-)

Created a new issue for it, will certainly try it! Cheers
