How to get weewx (tests) running from IDE?

[michael.k...@gmx.at]

As a total python noob I am struggling getting anything to run. (using vscode or intellij)

I am running into ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'weewx'

What am I missing? Are there instructions anywhere I didn't find so far?

You have a path problem. 

Under PyCharm, go to Settings | Project weewx | Project Structure.

It will show you a source tree. Click on the "bin" node, then mark it as "sources", using the button just above.

More details in the JetBrains docs: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-project-structure.html

I don't know anything about vscode.

Marking bin as sources worked. 

Thank you.

A more specific add-on question (new topic?):

For developing, testing and debugging python scripts in user/*, how can I start an archive interval run? Is it possible to launch a single interval run, getting data from Simulator, storing into the configured database, and doing all the stuff that registered extensions in user/* do?

I'm not following exactly what you're asking, but it's certainly possible to run weewxd in the IDE. 

The problem is that if you run the code in the repository, it will use whatever is in bin/user in the repository, which is nothing.

To get around this problem, I usually install WeeWX in /home/weewx, then run the IDE out of that. This way, it will find what's in /home/weewx/bin/user.

Hope I'm clear on that.
