When packaging a pytest plugin and wanting to run the plugin's unit
tests during the build process, the plugin usually has to be installed
before running the tests, otherwise pytest cannot find the plugin. This

Is there any way to avoid this with pybuild or is such a workaround
really necessary?
Thanks,

Hi!
Conceptually I think it's more relevant to override dh_auto_test. To
make sure pytest will register the plugin one may tweak the $PYTHONPATH.
That's the approach I followed in pytest-flask, see [1].
Not sure if this is a workaround too though :)
Cheers,
Alex
