wired problem with mutiple conftest files

[uestcheng]

Hi guys, my structure is as

---core function (including the API object)
---test_case 
--- conftest.py

And I want to set the module level fixture for test_case, and my project's structure change to

--- core function
--- test_case
            |____ sub_dir1
            |____ conftest.py # new conftest file for sub_dir1
---conftest # the older one

And there is an ImporError appears in the new conftest. I also tried append sys path, insert sys path. Does not work. Could you guys please give me another solution?

Can you show us the exact error message (and ideally conftest.py contents) instead of vaguely describing it? Not much that can be said if all you give use is "there was some sort of ImportError"...

@The-Compiler , Thanks very much for this reply, My original code in new conftest.py 👇

from core.api.gitlab.Namespace import Namespace

This will cause the ImportError

ImportError while loading conftest '/Users/tom/code/python3/myapi/test_case/gitlab/conftest.py'.
test_case/gitlab/conftest.py:5: in <module>
    from core.api.gitlab.namespace import Namespace

and I change this code to 👇 :

from core import api

it works, so I think the root cause maybe the relative import.
