Question

I have a class Foo which lives in Src/Projects/SomeProject/Foo.py

I have a class FooTest(unittest.TestCase) which lives in:

Src/Projects/SomeProject/tests/FooTest.py

When I run it with pytest (I just type ‘py.test’ in Src to run all tests), I get:

 def setUp(self):
     self.foo = Foo()
     TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

(I have from Foo import Foo in FooTest.py and Foo.py is in sys.path.

But when I run it with python: python Src/Projects/SomeProject/tests/FooTest.py everything works.)

Also, if I just move FooTest.py to Src/Projects/SomeProject then running with py.test suddenly works.

Any ideas?

You need to check your python path; some other Foo.Foo is being found before your module Foo.

Alternatively, in a try/except TypeError suite, print out the path of the offending module:

def setUp(self):
    try:
        self.foo = Foo()
    except TypeError:
        # What module Foo is this?
        print Foo.__file__
        raise
