Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

Make tests runnable in empty environment

See original GitHub issue

Right now, if you install holoviews, install nose, and then try running the holoviews tests with nosetests --with-doctest -v, there are 18 failures (and pages of associated output) because of not having iris, flexx, plotly, and other optional libraries installed:

FAILED (SKIP=56, errors=407, failures=18)

This makes it very difficult to determine if the basic holoviews installation is working, particularly if you want to see if it works well without those optional libraries. Is it just a matter of needing to raise 18 more SkipTest exceptions?

Thanks! There is plenty of interest inside Anaconda in tox+conda, both in my own group and from the conda maintainers. My own group (PyViz) would be happy to test it out and provide fixes for any problems we can figure out, and I think the conda team will be able to help us with any deeper issues that come up…
