Hi everyone.
I'm having the following problem on an app I'm developing.
I'm writing a software that uses the Pyperclip module. I'm using pytest for the
tests. Everything worked well so far, as long as I run the tests via pytest.
The thing is, I want to use Tox, and now things didn't work so well. When I run
the tests via Tox, the following error happens on those tests that depend on
pyperclip:
self = <pyperclip.clipboards.init_no_clipboard.<locals>.ClipboardUnavailable
object at 0xb6a2246c>
args = ('Small sample of text in the clipboard.',), kwargs = {}
def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
> raise PyperclipException(EXCEPT_MSG)
E pyperclip.exceptions.PyperclipException:
E Pyperclip could not find a copy/paste mechanism for your system.
E For more information, please visit https://pyperclip.readthedocs.org
On Linux, the pyperclip module depends on the existence of a way to access the
copy/paste mechanism. Either one of those works: xclip, xsel, GTK or PyQT4. I
noticed that on my machine pyperclip is using xclip, so I tried these
configurations on tox.ini:
[testenv]
deps =
py
pytest
pyperclip
pluggy
commands =
py.test -vv
whitelist_externals = /usr/bin/xclip
[testenv]
deps =
py
pytest
pyperclip
pluggy
commands =
py.test -vv
/usr/bin/xclip
whitelist_externals = /usr/bin/xclip
[testenv]
deps =
py
pytest
pyperclip
pluggy
commands =
py.test -vv
[testenv:Linux]
whitelist_externals = /usr/bin/xclip
None worked. What am I doing wrong?
Here are the software versions:
pyperclip 1.5.27
pytest 2.9.1
python 3.4.2
Debian with Gnome
