Docker runner pytest does not collect testcases

Question

I am successfully put ssh-key to docker runner and it can git clone to do dependencies installation.

If I use ordinary build-in python manage.py test it works fine. But I am now working with pytest. I can run pytest on ly command line and got results normal.

$ pytest

But when I execute in the gitlab-ci. I use docker as a runner.
Update 1:
I confirm. I have pytest.ini in the top directory. pytest.ini:

1. How to use gitlab-ci run pytest by using docker runner?

Answer 1

Thanks to https://github.com/nicoddemus

His quote on my question on last line show me the /src which is not my directory. It was created on the way.

My pitfall is runner create python dependencies in /src not in the other hidden directories

[pytest]
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE = poinkbackend.config.settings.local
python_files = tests.py test_*.py *_tests.py
norecursedirs = src
