github actions pytest does not find folder

Question

I am running pytest on Github actions. It finds my tests in tests. One of the tests imports a function from utils/get_data.py which results in an error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'utils', which is an other folder I have.

is the git folder not set as the root directory in github actions pytest?

The whole project is here. This is my workflow file:

Gonna need to see the whole action yaml file to troubleshoot — Paul H, Mar 16 '22 at 19:32
can you get `pytest` to work on your local machine this way? — Paul H, Mar 16 '22 at 20:31
yeah locally I can run `python -m pytest` from anaconda prompt and it works just fine. — safex, Mar 16 '22 at 20:54
It appears that you have missing `__init__.py` missing in your `test`,`utils` and root folder. If you include it should work as it can't import. Although there are still some other errors with `pyarrow` and `fasparquet` — Macintosh_89, Mar 16 '22 at 21:01
What is the directory structure of the project? Where is `tests` and `utils` relative to each other? — Code-Apprentice, Mar 16 '22 at 21:26
Not sure if it's the right approach, but I fixed this issue by adding a `pip install .` in my "Install dependencies" task — Bilbottom, Feb 16 '23 at 19:51

Short answer: Change the last statement to python -m pytest

Generally though, one should probably follow a different approach using __init__.py when packaging the web app. Find a good read here
