You might try the approach I used in the following:

I'm not entirely sure this is the right place to report this problem, but I'll give it a shot anyway. I'm sure this is pebkac but I haven't figure it out yet.

My current Mailman 3 code is buildout-based. The branch is here:

https://code.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/3.0

Here's my buildout.cfg file:

-----snip snip----- [buildout] parts = interpreter tags test unzip = true develop = .

[interpreter] recipe = zc.recipe.egg interpreter = py eggs = lazr.config lazr.delegates locknix mailman munepy storm zope.interface

[tags] recipe = z3c.recipe.tag:tags eggs = mailman

[test] recipe = zc.recipe.testrunner eggs = mailman defaults = '--tests-pattern ^tests --exit-with-status'.split() # Hack in extra arguments to zope.testrunner. initialization = from mailman.testing.layers import ConfigLayer; ConfigLayer.hack_options_parser() -----snip snip-----

If I build this out and then run bin/test, my test suite passes, but I get ImportErrors for every dependent egg that gets downloaded. It's as if the eggs directory is being search for tests even though eggs=mailman is in the [test] section.

However, if I put the following in my ~/.buildout/default.cfg, I don't those ImportErrors, presumably because the eggs are so far distant that Zope's testrunner doesn't find them.

-----snip snip----- [buildout] eggs-directory=/Users/barry/.buildout/eggs download-cache=/Users/barry/.buildout/download-cache -----snip snip-----

Here's an excerpt from the bin/test output (with extra blank lines suppressed):

The same behavior occurs on Linux.

Does anybody have any suggestions for making bin/test work without putting your eggs outside the source tree? Or if it's not possible, I'll update my README.txt to explain that you have to have a ~/.buildout/default.cfg.

Thanks, Barry
