Root Cause

pytest-doctest tries to import the module from the doctest file, but the module is not on sys.path because tests run from a different directory.

generic

中文

pytest-doctest 尝试从 doctest 文件导入模块，但模块不在 sys.path 上，因为测试从不同目录运行。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    pip install -e .
pytest --doctest-modules
  2. 90% success 
    In pytest.ini: `[pytest]
pythonpath = .`

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 60% fail

    May work locally but fails in CI where the working directory differs.

  2. 80% fail

    Loses doctest coverage; not a fix.
