Description

After spinning up the Docker envt using start-build-env.sh and following the instructions to create a virtual environment for python testing here, I repeatedly received the error ImportError: cannot import name 'console_main' when trying to run pytest. This seems to be due to the pytest version or Dockerfile setup, unclear (see this pytest issue or this thread for similar examples).

Changing console_main to main in /usr/local/bin/pytest as below, i.e. from

import re
import sys
from pytest import main
if __name__ == '__console_main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(console_main())

to the following

import re
import sys
from pytest import main
if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(main())

allowed me to run pytest within my environment without issue.
