The ebuild does not declare the dependencies needed for the test suite (which therefore aborts with errors). From setup.py EXTRAS_REQUIRE: # Extra dependencies for running unit tests 'test': ["gnureadline; sys_platform=='darwin'", # include gnureadline on macOS to ensure it is available in tox env "mock ; python_version<'3.6'", # for python 3.5 we need the third party mock module 'codecov', 'coverage', 'pytest', 'pytest-cov', 'pytest-mock'], Side note: The ebuild declares dev-python/six to be a dependency but that is not listed under INSTALL_REQUIRES.
What errors? I presume you mean due to missing mock? I don't think anything else from that list is really required.
> What errors? The ones I encounter were due to missing dev-python/pytest-mock and looked like: ________________ ERROR at setup of test_ansi_pouterr_always_tty ________________ file /var/tmp/portage/dev-python/cmd2-0.10.1/work/cmd2-0.10.1/tests/test_cmd2.py, line 2051 def test_ansi_pouterr_always_tty(mocker, capsys): E fixture 'mocker' not found > available fixtures: base_app, cache, capfd, capfdbinary, caplog, capsys, capsysbinary, commandresult_app, disable_commands_app, doctest_namespace, exit_code_repl, help_app, helpcat_app, hook_failure, monkeypatch, multiline_app, onchange_app, outsim_app, pytestconfig, record_property, record_testsuite_property, record_xml_attribute, recwarn, say_app, select_app, tmp_path, tmp_path_factory, tmpdir, tmpdir_factory, virtualenv, worker_id, workspace > use 'pytest --fixtures [testpath]' for help on them. /var/tmp/portage/dev-python/cmd2-0.10.1/work/cmd2-0.10.1/tests/test_cmd2.py:2051 > I presume you mean due to missing mock? The errors were due to missing dev-python/pytest-mock not due to missing dev-python/mock (that was installed at the time and so were the other dependencies listed above). > I don't think anything else from that list is really required. I can't comment on that as I have not tried every other possible combination of the dependencies listed to check which ones are really required to let the test suite pass and which might let the test suite skip some tests and still pass. At that point I trusted the setup.py of the package to tell the truth and reported it here.
