Description
Fixes #11019
run_stubtest
creates temp directory and prependsys.path
with relative path (dot.
) wrongly assuming that the dot will be resolved to absolute path on every import attempt.But in Python dot(
.
) in sys.path is actually resolved by PathFinder and cached insys.path_importer_cache
like:later calls for
find_module
return None and import oftest_module
fails. This resulted in only the first test in stubtest's suite passed in non-pytest-xdist environments.This issue was hidden with bug or feature in pytest-xdist < 2.3.0:
pytest-dev/pytest-xdist#421
It was fixed in pytest-xdist 2.3.0:
pytest-dev/pytest-xdist#667
sys.path for pytest-xdist < 2.3.0
'.', 'project_path', ''
sys.path for pytest-xdist >= 2.3.0 or without xdist
'.', 'project_path'
Proposed fix
In Python for denoting cwd the empty path
''
can be used as a special case, but for readabilitysys.path
is prepended with resolved absolute path of temp directory. Also it's essential to restore backsys.path
after a test to not break subsequent tests.
