Pytest: collecting 0 items even after following the conventions - pytest

Question

I created a test module by following all the conventions, but when I run the test, I get the following message:
collecting 0 items
Here's my directory hierarchy:
integration_tests (Directory)-> tests (Directory)-> test_integration_use_cases.py (python file)
And this is the content of the file:
import pytest
from some_tests.integration_tests.backbone.SomeIntegrationTestBase import SomeIntegrationTestBase
class TestSomeIntegration(SomeIntegrationTestBase):
#pytest.mark.p1
def test_some_integration_use_cases(self):
print("**** Executing integration tests ****")
result = self.execute_test(4)
assert (True == result)
when I run the following command:
pytest test_integration_use_cases.py
I see the following result without any errors:
collecting 0 items
FYI: I am running this on a development machine (Like vagrant)

Answer 1

so I had the same problem as you have even after following all the recommended conventions. My application structure was as follows;
Application
-- API
app.py
-- docs
-- venv
-- tests
-- unit_test
test_factory
...
...
I, however, resolved the issue by moving the tests directory under the API package so that my application structure looked as below;
Application
-- API
app.py
-- tests
-- unit_test
test_factory
...
-- docs
-- venv
...
Although pytest is supposed to auto-discover the tests, it seems to do that if they are placed in the application root. Check out the pytest for flask
