Yet another no module named *** with pytest

Here is the project structure:

my_module/
├── pytest.ini
├── README
├── requirements.txt
├── my_module
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── my_module.py
│   └── utils
│       ├── helpers.py
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── logger.py
└── tests
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── requirements.txt
    └── test_my_module.py

I don't understand why I get an ModuleNotFoundError: No module name 'utils' when I run pytest in the root directory.

Here is the error

________________________________________________________________ ERROR collecting tests/test_robomaster.py _________________________________________________________________
ImportError while importing test module '/home/heyyou/git/my_module/tests/test_my_module.py'.
Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.
Traceback:
/usr/lib64/python3.6/importlib/__init__.py:126: in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
tests/test_my_module.py:3: in <module>
    from my_module import my_module
my_module/my_module.py:6: in <module>
    from utils import *
E   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'utils'

It works when I add an __init__.py at the root level (same as readme) but I don't think it's a good workaround.

The imports work if I run the my_module.py script directly.

You need to do import like from my_module.utils import *. Because pytest insert my_module to the front of sys.path
