ImportError while loading conftest

[Akopov4]

Type: Bug

In my project I have a folder helpers. There is a python file db.py. There is a class called Database. In the same level as folders helpers i have file conftest.py . In conftest I import Database class. "from .helpers.db import DataBase" . There are no errors shown in the conftest.py file. But when I run tests discovery, I get an error:

Test loading failed: Error: Process exited with code 4: ImportError while loading conftest '/home/akop/PythonProjects/playwright_qa_mamania/conftest.py'.
conftest.py:7: in <module>
    from .helpers.db import DataBase
E   ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
