ModuleNotFoundError : No module named with locust

Question

When I try to import external library of my project in my locust python file, each time I have the error "ModuleNotFoundError : No module name '...'.

Apparently is not clear but locust is installed and works. I have a task to make REST API call and it's ok. But I need to make some action in the init method coming from external file of my project

Example :

I want to import the method "generateILogsToken" in my locust file from _Global.py file

FILE : getWalletInfoLocust.py

from Phoenix.APIs._Global import generateIlogsToken
from locust import HttpUser, task

class ApiUser(HttpUser):

    def __init__(self, environment):
        print("__init__" + generateIlogsToken())
        super().__init__(environment)


    @task
    def profile(self):
        url = "/restapi/json/v1/resources"
        self.client.get(url, verify=False, headers={'AUTHTOKEN': 'xxxxx'})

Error generated with the command locust -f getWalletInfoLocust.py

...
    from Phoenix.APIs._Global import generateIlogsToken
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Phoenix'

I have this issue for any method imported from external file of my project. When I'm used behave or other, no isse. It's only with locust.

Thx

You may need to install the module with `pip install locust` first. — Nick, Sep 23 '22 at 08:08
locust is installed.... if I remove the import of generateIlogsToken, it works. — X.Bovi, Sep 23 '22 at 08:13
Is it possible that you have multiple installations of python and you accidentally installed Locust on one version and Phoenix on another? — Cyberwiz, Sep 23 '22 at 08:22
genrateILogsToken method is defined in an other python file of my project. When I import this method with pycharm, this one defined all the path to reach this method. It's not a python package coming from PIP, it's a folder of my global project — X.Bovi, Sep 23 '22 at 08:25
Apparently my folder Phoenix should be defined as package. To solve I have added import sys sys.path.append('../') and now Phoenix is found by locust — X.Bovi, Sep 23 '22 at 08:45

I am not sure, but I think the problem could be related to the fact that you launch your program in a folder that is not the root folder of your project.

Let's say you have a directory tree like this:

project_directory
│   getWalletInfoLocust.py  
│   ... 
└───Phoenix 
│   │   ...   
│   └───APIs   
│   │   │   _Global.py
│   │   │   ...

When launching the command, python will look for the Phoenix folder from the folder you are launching python from.

To be sure the module is found, you should launch locust -f getWalletInfoLocust.py from the directory that I called "project_directory" in my example, otherwise python could not find the module Phoenix.

Alternatively you can add your root directory to sys.path in your file, like this:

import sys, os
sys.path.append('path/to/project_directory')

Thanks @Roberto for the explanation. It's very clear – X.Bovi Sep 23 '22 at 08:57 — X.Bovi, Sep 23 '22 at 08:57

Your Phoenix library is a folder not a package. So it needs to be imported following this https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html#importing-a-source-file-directly or this Importing files from different folder.

Hope it helps.
