When I am running tests locally its working fine, but after creating the docker and running inside the container I am getting below error.

    /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/_pytest/config.py:325: in _getconftestmodules
    return self._path2confmods[path]
E   KeyError: local('/apis/db/tests')

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/_pytest/config.py:356: in _importconftest
    return self._conftestpath2mod[conftestpath]
E   KeyError: local('/apis/db/tests/conftest.py')

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/_pytest/config.py:362: in _importconftest
    mod = conftestpath.pyimport()
/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/py/_path/local.py:680: in pyimport
    raise self.ImportMismatchError(modname, modfile, self)

_pytest.config.ConftestImportFailure: ImportMismatchError('conftest', '/projects/my_project/db/tests/conftest.py', local('/apis/db/tests/conftest.py'))

/apis - its the WORKDIR in Dockerfile.

You can use the .dockerignore file to exclude all __pycache__ folders from being sent to the docker image context:

.dockerignore file, excludes __pycache__ folders and *.pyc files from all sub/folders:

**/__pycache__
**/*.pyc

I am using Python 3.6. In my case, I was getting ImportMismatchError in modules with the same name under different packages, e.g., A/B/main.py and C/D/main.py. Python 3 does not require __init__.py file in source folders, but adding __init__.py under A/B and C/D solved the issue.

Delete all the .pyc files. You can do this by find . -name \*.pyc -delete

You can set environment variable PY_IGNORE_IMPORTMISMATCH=1 to skip this errros. It should be fine in simple cases like running tests inside and outside docker container.

Found __pycache__ files in coverage/fullcoverage/ which are hidden in jupyter notebook etc.

simply navigate to the folder and use rm -r __pyache__/ . This will take care of your pytest.

In my case I was setting PYTHONPATH manually to the root of my repo. Inside of this I have a worktrees/ folder, which contains worktrees, each of which contain a python package. Since I told python to look for packages at the root of my repo, it would consider all packages under worktrees/ as well, thus leading to the import error. I resolved by flattening this nested structure.
