URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/45955
While testing "standard" provider move to the new structure it turned out,
that "providers" package used now to keep tests in the new providers is
problematic - while it solves the ambiguity of "from celery import", it
introduces another ambiguity when trying to import internal utility classes in
tests. For example when trying to import BasePythonTest in standard operatori
currently we refer to the import from root directory of Airflow::
```
from providers.tests.standard.operators.test_python
```
However, if we change the package structure to have `providers` as
subpackage of `tests` and trying to import it from `tests` as root folder to
tests, we have:
```
from providers.standard.operators.test_python
```
And it can ambiguously attempt to import
```
from airflow.providers.standard.operators.test_python
```
This confuses IDEs and attempts to run multiple tests together, because
pytest modifies PYTHONPATH while running tests - and PYTHONPATH modification
can be different, depending on which tests are selected to run.
Changing the sub-package to provider_tests makes it unambiguous and we can
now import:
```
from provider_tests.standard.operators.test_python
```
This is unambiguous and allows to import the tests inside the provider
package, without importing from root of Airlfow package - making provider
package tests "standalone" inside provider.
