pytest not working?

[jwreep]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get pytest to run for the IDL comparisons. Copying and pasting the instruction from the docs:

(base) reep@atrcw9 fiasco % pytest --idl-executable=/Applications/harris/idl89/ \
--idl-codebase-root=/Users/reep/ssw/packages/chianti/idl/ \
--ascii-dbase-root=/Users/reep/ssw/packages/chianti/dbase/ \
--include-all-files \
fiasco/tests/idl/

hissw appears to be running with Chianti, so I don't think that's the issue.

I think you might not have one of the needed pytest plugins installed. Two things to check:

1. What does which pytest return? i.e. are you using the right version of pytest. I find that I bump into this error when I'm not using the version of pytest that I think I've installed into my environment.
2. Check to see if you have the pytest-astropy package installed. If not, run pip install pytest-astropy.

The root cause of this error is not having the expected pytest plugin to run the doctests. Installing the pytest-astropy plugin should fix that.

Thanks, that was it! I didn't have pytest-astropy installed.

I've moved on to a new error -- wrong database version! Progress.

Ha new problems are better than the same problem!
