I am trying to set up a connection between python and impala. Based on the instructions here I am trying to set up impyla.
I am on a vagrant ubuntu/xenial64 box with python 2.7.12. After reading about some issues with the latest thrift I downgraded to the specified version. After pip installing and setting up the environment variables, I am trying to run the test but it is failing with the file not found error, as follows:
ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/impala$ py.test --connect impyla
======================================== test session starts ========================================
platform linux2 -- Python 2.7.12, pytest-2.8.7, py-1.4.31, pluggy-0.3.1
rootdir: /home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/impala, inifile:
=================================== no tests ran in 0.00 seconds ====================================
ERROR: file not found: impyla
ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/impala$
I think I am missing out on something very fundamental here. I have no previous experience with python tests. I would like to stick with python 2.7 because of some other dependencies.
PS:
- Please note the latest version provided in the repo readme is 0.13.1 but with my
pip install impylait came out to be 0.14.0. - I am running the test from my site-package/impala directory as the readme says to be in the directory where impyla is.
- There is no mention of any inifile in the readme (as far as I could see.)
EDIT 1:
When I run it from site-package directory without --connect I get the same error. But with the argument, it says that the argument is unrecognizable. The output is as follows:
ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages$ py.test --connect impyla
usage: py.test [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]
py.test: error: unrecognized arguments: --connect
inifile: None
rootdir: /home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages$
Any help on how to troubleshoot this would be helpful.
