AUTO cases: TypeError due to relative import

[michele-riva]

Sorry for the spamming. Here another funny situation. Notice that file names are important.

cases.py

def case():
    return 1

test_something.py

from pytest_cases import fixture, parametrize_with_cases

@fixture
@parametrize_with_cases('arg')
def parametrized(arg):
    return arg

def test(parametrized):
    assert parametrized == 1

Raises a TypeError at collection stage:

This is because the test directory has no __init__.py.

Perhaps stripping off the first '.' here?

python-pytest-cases/src/pytest_cases/case_parametrizer_new.py

Lines 668 to 671 in ab3b719

	# Then try `case_<name>.py`
	parts = test_module_name.split('.')
	assert parts[-1][0:5] == 'test_'
	cases_module_name2 = "%s.cases_%s" % ('.'.join(parts[:-1]), parts[-1][5:])

E.g.,

if cases_module_name2.startswith('.'):
    cases_module_name2 = cases_module_name2[1:]

The exception raised points then to the solution.
