Is it possible to run pytest across multiple projects with one command

I have a project involving a number of AWS lambda functions where I want to run pytest at any level to execute the tests within the current directory and its subdirectories.

The structure is

/src
  /lambda-one
    lambda_handler.py
    __init__.py
    /test
       test_lambda_handler.py
      __init__.py
  /group-a
    /lambda-two
      lambda_handler.py
      __init__.py
      /test
         test_lambda_handler.py
         __init__.py
    /lambda-three
      lambda_handler.py
      __init__.py
      /test
         test_lambda_handler.py
         __init__.py
  /group-b
    /lambda-four
      lambda_handler.py
      __init__.py
      /test
         test_lambda_handler.py
         __init__.py
    /lambda-five
      lambda_handler.py
      __init__.py
      /test
         test_lambda_handler.py
         __init__.py

To run the tests I either have to change directory to the actual lambda or change my import paths to absolute paths from src.

Is there a way to have pytest run at each lambda level (without a shell script) so I can get a single set of results.

Yes. You can configure it on pytest.ini. Here is some example.

I have this directory structure.

.
├── pytest.ini
└── src
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── lambda_one
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   ├── lambda_handler.py
    │   └── test
    │       ├── __init__.py
    │       └── test_lambda_handler.py
    └── lambda_two
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── lambda_handler.py
        └── test
            ├── __init__.py
            └── test_lambda_handler.py

Inside pytest.ini, I put this configuration.


[pytest]
python_files = */test/*.py

And here is the result of running pytest command outside the src/ directory.
