I have the following project skeleton.
ex47
bin/
docs/
ex47/
__init__.py
tests/
__init__.py
game_tests.py
game.py
setup.py
Working on Aptana Studio. In game_tests.py I have
from nose.tools import *
from ex47.game import Room
but Aptana is yelling at me for not being able to find Room, which I defined in 'game.py' as a
class. When I run nosetests on command line I got Error: Import Error( no module named game).
What's seems to be wrong?
I see two issues:
__init__.py)PYTHONPATHThe first one is obvious. If you want game.py to be importable using ex47.game then ex47 has to be a valid package. So most probably you wanted to put it in the inner ex47 which is a valid package?
When it comes to the second issue, python will look for ex47 on your PYTHONPATH and in the current directory (the one you are in when issuing commands). Probably none of those is the case, hence ex47 can't be found.
Considering the above, if you had the following directory structure:
ex47
bin/
docs/
ex47/
__init__.py
game.py
tests/
__init__.py
game_tests.py
setup.py
and tried to run tests like this:
nosetests tests
while being in the topmost ex47 directory it should work (note that there is no __init__.py inside the topmost ex47).
export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/ex47:$PYTHONPATH. If you want it in Aptana, then you should look into project properties, there are settings which allow you to modify the PYTHONPATH.Room. What else can I do?__init__.py in the top-level ex47. But in order to fix the issue, please try running nosetests from the terminal/console/shell in the way described. If that works, you will be sure that if inner ex47 is on PYTHONPATH everything's fine. Given that, we can figure out why Aptana doesn't get it.
__init__.pyin the top level ex47 dir?
