Dependencies not installed from test-requirements.txt

[dbrennand]

Hi there,

I'm testing out ansible-dev-environment and I've noticed that with 24.9.0, it doesn't automatically install the dependencies I have listed in a test-requirements.txt file in my collection directory: https://github.com/dbrennand/molecule-test/blob/testing-more/ansible/test-requirements.txt

Repro steps:

pip install ansible-dev-environment==24.9.0 --user
git clone [email protected]:dbrennand/molecule-test.git
cd molecule-test/
git checkout testing-more
pip list | grep ansible-dev-environment
ansible-dev-environment   24.9.0
ade install -e --venv venv -adt ./ansible
source venv/bin/activate
pip list | grep hvac
# hvac is not installed :-(

From the usage example it seems to be possible to install from this file:

INFO: Installing python requirements from /home/bthornto/github/network.interfaces/test-requirements.txt

That should not be too hard to implement but I am bit worried about some side effects:

• are there any users that might not want to install test dependencies?
• should this be hidden under a flag? If so, that flag should be enabled by default or disabled?
• what about recursivity? should this also apply to other collections?
• what should be the standard filename for them test-requirements.txt or requirements-test.txt
• if we consider using pyproject.toml to retrieve them from an extra, implementation could become messy

Hi @ssbarnea - Thanks for your response. All good questions. Do you think we should take this conversation to https://forum.ansible.com to discuss with the wider community?
