run test with Unittests failed with error ImportError: No module named 'zipline.assets._assets'

[Ying Zou]

is it possible to run the unit test with Unittests or it can only run by nosetests?

[Ying Zou]

when I use nosetests to run:

nosetests tests/data/bundles/test_yahoo.py:YahooBundleTestCase.test_bundle

I got the following error:

ImportError: No module named 'zipline.assets._assets'

That ImportError means python can't find the shared objects for zipline's C extensions.  Usually that just means you need to build them.  The easiest way to do that should be:

pip install -e <path to zipline repo>

We generally only run the tests with nosetests, so no guarantees, but I am currently able to run various test modules with unittest:

$ python -m unittest tests.test_labelarray
........

Ran 8 tests in 0.136s

OK

I do have nosetests installed in my environment, so not sure if that's required for the above.

Also be aware that that particular test is currently failing on master.

Best,
