Installing fresh env, make installdeps-dev, and running single test file wouldn't work until make test was run

[tamargrey]

Not sure if this is reproducible or was just a weird state I got myself into, but after creating a new virtualenv on python 3.8.2 and following contributing.md (running make installdeps-dev and then brew install libomp), running a direct pytest command on a single file (ex pytest '/Users/tamar.grey/repositories/evalml/evalml/tests/component_tests/test_target_encoder.py') resulted in

ImportError while loading conftest '/Users/tamar.grey/repositories/evalml/evalml/tests/conftest.py'.
evalml/__init__.py:6: in <module>
    import sklearn
E   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn'

I then ran make test, and the tests ran. After deactivating and reactivating my env, running the pytest command on a single file worked.

I'm not sure what was going on with the env, but, if this is reproducible, it might be worth investigating and understanding what's going on there.

This might be your environment specific issue. make installdeps-dev should do pip install -e .[dev] which should install core reqs + dev reqs
