Recursive unittest opening with python3 and without __init__.py files

Question

I have a project with the following directory structure:

.
├── requirements.txt
├── main.py
├── tests
    ├── unit
    │   └── test_thing1.py
    │   └── test_thing2.py
    └── integration.py
        └── test_integration_thing1.py
        └── test_integration_thing2.py

I want to run all tests with a single command . If I execute python -m unittest discover, tests are not executed.

I found this question suggesting adding a file __init__.pyto create packages from folders unitand integration. The solution works, and all tests work this way.

But since I am using python3 and __init__.pyfiles are not required with an implicit namespace package , I was wondering if there is a way to do this without these __init__.pyfiles.

Answer 1

pytest. .

pip (pip install pytest), pytest tests.
