Question

I’m trying to run Travis-CI on a module I’ve made. Nosetests pass on my local machine with flying colors, but for some reason the test.py file is failing to import my project. Below is the full output from Travis-CI:

Done. Build script exited with: 1

Note that Scrappy is the name of my project and that is what’s failing to import.

And here is my .travis.yml file:

language: python
python:
  - "2.7"
install: "pip install -r requirements.txt --use-mirrors"
script: "nosetests -w tests/"

Any idea what could be wrong?

Answer 1

Ok, so it turns out that Travis-CI doesn’t do an implicit develop when installing the target package.

This was fixed by editing the script line in the YAML file to:

script:  "python setup.py develop && nosetests -w tests/"
