6.1.0: running self tests

[0-wiz-0]

In 6.1.0 the test system was switched from unittest to pytest. I've updated the package in pkgsrc using the pypi source distfile, but I can't run the tests any longer. Using the command line from HISTORY.rst:

/usr/pkg/bin/python3.12 -m psutil.tests
/usr/pkg/bin/python3.12: Error while finding module specification for 'psutil.tests' (ImportError: cannot import name '_psutil_bsd' from partially initialized module 'psutil' (most likely due to a circular import) (/scratch/sysutils/py-psutil/work/psutil-6.1.0/psutil/__init__.py))

Using pytest directly, from the top level:

It doesn't matter if I install the package first or not. In case it matters, in pkgsrc, the package is built using:

/usr/pkg/bin/python3.12  -m build --wheel --skip-dependency-check --no-isolation

What is the proper way to run the tests now? Thanks.

Hi Thomas. The error looks unrelated with pytest. Usually that means a broken psutil installation (e.g. after a psutil upgrade). You can try:

make clean uninstall install

Hi Giampaolo! No, that's not it, the tests are run in an empty sandbox, there is no psutil installed there.

Can you import psutil? I mean python3 -c "import psutil"?

If I install psutil (which doesn't make a difference for the test) then yes:

# python3.12 -c "import psutil"
#
