help running tests during debian package build

[sandrotosi]

Hello, i'm packaging pydata-sphinx-theme and i have a problem when running tests in our build environment: if i run pytest in the top-level directory, they all pass, but if i run in the destination of setup.py build they all fail like this one:

___________________________ test_navbar_align_right ____________________________

sphinx_build_factory = <function sphinx_build_factory.<locals>._func at 0x7fb0366b5b80>

    def test_navbar_align_right(sphinx_build_factory):
        """The navbar items align with the proper part of the page."""
        confoverrides = {"html_theme_options.navbar_align": "right"}
>       sphinx_build = sphinx_build_factory("base", confoverrides=confoverrides).build()

                raise ThemeError(__('sphinx_rtd_theme is no longer a hard dependency '
                                    'since version 1.4.0. Please install it manually.'
                                    '(pip install sphinx_rtd_theme)'))
            else:
>               raise ThemeError(__('no theme named %r found '
                                    '(missing theme.conf?)') % name)
E               sphinx.errors.ThemeError: no theme named 'pydata_sphinx_theme' found (missing theme.conf?)

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sphinx/theming.py:247: ThemeError

i diff'ed pydata-sphinx-theme and tests directories, but they are exactly the same, what am i missing?

thanks, Sandro

I am not very familiar with debian packaging, so can you give a bit more details on how you built / tested the package? (to reproduce it locally)

Did you install the package? (base on the error message, it seems the package was not installed in the environment (it is the setup.py that registers the theme to sphinx as an entry point) How did you run the tests? (as I don't think we include the tests in the built package, right now)
