Error with pytest-executable when packaged by tox

[rrthomas]

When running a tox build that uses pytest-executable, I get the following error from tox on GitHub Actions (but not on my own Ubuntu 22.04 machine, oddly):

_ ERROR collecting .eggs/pytest_executable-0.5.5-py3.10.egg/pytest_executable/test_executable.py _
/home/runner/work/psutils/psutils/.eggs/pytest_executable-0.5.5-py3.10.egg/pytest_executable
shall have a __init__.py because test_executable.py exists in other directories

I'm sorry, this is not a very good issue report! I don't understand really what is wrong here; maybe the maintainer will, but no worries if not.

The error went away when I upgraded from tox 3.21.4 (as supplied with Ubuntu 22.04) to tox 4.4.7 (current version). If you don't care about older versions of tox, then you probably don't care about this issue!

I am curious to know the root cause of the error, could you please point me to where tox and pytest are called? (I cannot find them in psutils)

[rrthomas]

Sure, I call tox via the dist target in the Makefile, and in GitHub CI tox is called in .github/workflows/ci.yml, in a different way.

Ah, this seems to be in the python branch, right?

I'm sorry, I should have said that; indeed it is! Currently a work-in-progress.
