pytest is causing dependency_links to be ignored

[dagostinelli]

When I run python setup.py test, I expect my unit tests to run and dependencies to get installed. Instead, PyPi is getting searched and dependency_links is getting ignored.

Also, I've noticed (a ton of) other issues all over the internet mentioning how dependency_links is getting ignored. I didn't run across anything yet where pytest was suspected.

setup.py

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
	name='MyApp',
	version='1.0',
	maintainer='Me',
	maintainer_email='me@somewhere.com',
	url='http://www.somewhere.com',
	packages = find_packages(),
	install_requires=['myotherproject==1.0'],
	setup_requires=['pytest-runner', 'pytest'],
	tests_require=['pytest', 'pytest-asyncio', 'myotherproject==1.0'],
	test_suite='tests',
	dependency_links=['git+ssh://myname@myserver:/git/path/to/stuff/myotherproject@master#egg=myotherproject-1.0'],
	include_package_data=True,
)

When I use the above with python setup.py test, myotherproject gets installed into .eggs.

If I then add a setup.cfg file like so to activate pytest:

setup.cfg

[aliases]
test=pytest

Then python setup.py test ignores dependency_links and attempts to search pypi for the myotherproject (and naturally it can't find it and errors out)

Then I just comment out the lines in setup.cfg and re-run python setup.py test and it works again.

setup.cfg

#[aliases]
#test=pytest

pytest is completely unrelated to setup.py test

please file the issue in projects like pytest-runner or setuptools

Hardly "completely unrelated"...

The whole point of setup.cfg with a test=pytest directive in it is so that pytest can take over unit testing from the built in test framework and maintain compatibility. And pytest-runner is in the same GitHub team as pytest.

I'll move it though -- thank you for the note.
