Root Cause

pytest-cov cannot import the specified module, likely because it is not installed or not in the Python path.

generic

中文

pytest-cov 无法导入指定的模块，可能是因为它未安装或不在 Python 路径中。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    Run `python -c "import my_module"` to verify the module is importable, then adjust PYTHONPATH if needed.
  2. 85% success 
    Specify the full package path: `pytest --cov=src/my_module` or use `--cov=my_package.my_module`

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 50% fail

    The module might already be installed in a different environment; the issue is often path-related rather than installation.

  2. 70% fail

    The module might be in a subpackage; coverage requires the full dotted path.
