Tests are discovered but not ran #24913

andre-guilhon-rxscale · 2025-03-18T09:31:24Z

Type: Bug

Behaviour

When you have a few tests, and you'd like to run them all at once (e.g. by clicking the "Run tests" button, it should run all of the tests, but instead it raises an error and no test is ran.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a python project
Add a src and a tests directories in the root dir
Create some logic inside the src dir to make your app run
Add some tests to the tests folder.
To me, all that was needed was two test files, with simple tests:
test_1.py:

def test():
    assert True

test_2.py:

class TestClass:

    def test(self):
        assert True

settings.json:

{
    "python.testing.cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/src",
    "python.testing.pytestArgs": [
        "../tests",
    ],
    "python.testing.unittestEnabled": false,
    "python.testing.pytestEnabled": true,
}

Diagnostic data

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

will investigate thanks

andre-guilhon-rxscale · 2025-03-19T15:55:08Z

One thing I forgot to mention and that might help figuring this out, is that when you try to run individual tests, or even individual classes, it works fine.

cyalen · 2025-03-24T11:06:51Z

Seeing an similar issue as well VSCode version1.98.2. Like @andre-guilhon-rxscale, I can also run individual tests fine, but in addition I can also sub-directories of tests with/without coverage etc. Project-level runs, however I can only collect, no actual tests are ran...

In addition I've tried multiple versions of the extension, and this issue seems to still be present on all of them. Could this be a problem with the 1.98 version of the core app? I haven't yet attempted a downgrade myself.

andre-guilhon-rxscale · 2025-04-02T10:06:23Z

One weird thing is that I have a bunch of projects configured in the same way, and some of them work as they should, and some don't. What can I do to debug it further? Any ideas?

eleanorjboyd · 2025-04-02T15:37:28Z

things that would be helpful for me to try and understand and debug your issue

set log levels to trace via the command palette command "Developer: set log level"
including logs from the "python" output channel
a screen recording, especially if clicking a button isn't responding so I can understand (to make this even better have the python logs open during the screen recording so I can see if any messages are sent that are expected / not when you take a UI action)

andre-guilhon-rxscale · 2025-04-08T08:52:42Z

Sorry for the long time! I've set the log level to trace and ran everything again. Attached you'll find a screen recording (with the output from python opened), a log from a correct run (where I run just a part of the tests and it works), and a log with the failing try to run the tests!
I couldn't attach the screen recording, so I uploaded it to youtube: https://youtu.be/XNKvIWvmFVw
