No module named 'llmclient' when running pytest

[markenki]

I'm following the instructions here: https://github.com/Future-House/paper-qa/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
When I try to run pytest (in wsl on Windows), I get the following error message:

(base) [xxxx@xxxxxxxx]:~/repos/paper-qa$ pytest
ImportError while loading conftest '/home/xxxx/repos/paper-qa/tests/conftest.py'.
tests/conftest.py:14: in
from paperqa.clients.crossref import CROSSREF_HEADER_KEY
paperqa/init.py:3: in
from llmclient import (
E ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'llmclient'

What am I missing? Thanks!

Hey @markenki! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have for the PaperQA project. Let's work together to resolve your issue!

To resolve the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'llmclient', ensure that you have installed all the necessary dependencies for the paper-qa project. The llmclient module is included as a dependency in the pyproject.toml file under fh-llm-client>=0.0.11 ^[1]. Here are the steps you should follow:

1. Install Dependencies: Run pip install -e . in the root directory of the paper-qa project. This command installs the package in development mode, including all required dependencies.

2. Check Environment Variables: Make sure that any required environment variables, such as the OpenAI key, are correctly set up as per the project's instructions.

3. Verify Installation: After installing, verify that the llmclient module is available by running pip list and checking for fh-llm-client.

If you have followed these steps and the issue persists, ensure that your Python environment is correctly activated and that there are no conflicts with other installed packages.

Hello @markenki , when you ran uv sync, it should have installed fh-llm-client. This is a dependency in pyproject.toml
Can you try to run uv sync once again and paste the traceback if there are any errors?
Can you also show me the output of uv pip list | grep -e paper- -e llm ? I just wanted to check that you have the correct versions installed.

Thanks a lot, @maykcaldas. Here's the output:

(base) xxxx@xxxxxxxx:/repos/paper-qa$ uv sync
Resolved 177 packages in 0.94ms
Audited 176 packages in 0.15ms
(base) xxxx@xxxxxxxx:/repos/paper-qa$ uv pip list | grep -e paper- -e llm
Using Python 3.12.7 environment at: /home/xxxx/anaconda3

Apologies for the delayed response; I was travelling the past few days.

It looks like the fh-llm-client package isn't installed.

Please run uv sync per https://github.com/Future-House/paper-qa/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-the-development-environment, and then retry invoking uv run pytest

[markenki]

Thanks, @jamesbraza. Invoking 'uv run pytest' worked better than simply running 'pytest'. I'm now hitting other errors, which I'm investigating. Thanks for you help!

[jamesbraza]

If you run whereis pytest you might find pytest may have corresponded with a different Python environment than the uv-made one

Using uv run pytest ensures the uv-made one (which uv sync populates) gets used

Ah, good to know. Thanks a lot, @jamesbraza!
