gitlab-ci.yml: 'script: -pytest' command is not recognized

Question

I'm having trouble implementing an sample program that runs pytest within .gitlab-ci.yml on Windows:

Using Shell executor...

Please find below .gitlab-ci.yml:

# .gitlab-ci.yml

test_sample:
  stage: test
  tags: 
    - test_sam
  script:
    - echo "Testing"
    - pytest -s Target\tests 
  when: manual

CI/CD terminal output:

pytest is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

Python and pytest is already installed on the Windows OS on which the test is running but still the test fails. I have tried the solution suggested in below thread but it doesn't work: gitlab-ci.yml: 'script: -pytest cannot find any tests to check'

Could you please suggest how to make this test pass on windows?

If python is recognized, you could replace pytest, as with this similar project, with:

unittests:
  script: python -m unittest discover tests -v
core doctests:
  script: python -m doctest -v AmpScan/core.py
registration doctests:
  script: python -m doctest -v AmpScan/registration.py
align doctests:
  script: python -m doctest -v AmpScan/align.py

(The initial switch to pytest failed)

If you want to use pytest, you would need to use a python Docker image in your .gitlab.yml.

See "Setting Up GitLab CI for a Python Application" from Patrick Kennedy.

image: "python:3.7"

before_script:
  - python --version
  - pip install -r requirements.txt

stages:
  - Static Analysis
  - Test
...
unit_test:
  stage: Test
  script:
  - pwd
  - ls -l
  - export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:."
  - python -c "import sys;print(sys.path)"
  - pytest

this does not work, I am getting error though I have installed python $ python --version python : The term 'python' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. – user2077648 Nov 16 '20 at 17:33
Could you please suggest a working example because this solution is not specific to windows OS – user2077648 Nov 16 '20 at 17:34

@user2077648 Double-check the %PATH% used by GitLab: it might not include the Python installation folder. – VonC Nov 16 '20 at 17:37

The below command worked without any issues:

py -m pytest -s Target\tests
