```pip3 install e dev ``` This command gives me the first problem ```Building wheels for collected packages pytest env Building wheel for pytest env setup py error ERROR Command errored out with exit status 1 command home matt projects prefect venv bin python3 u c import sys setuptools tokenize sys argv 0 = tmp pip install 8z zmtq1 pytest env setup py file = tmp pip install 8z zmtq1 pytest env setup py f=getattr tokenize open open file code=f read replace r n n f close exec compile code file exec bdist wheel d tmp pip wheel wgtfg7fv cwd tmp pip install 8z zmtq1 pytest env Complete output 6 lines usage setup py global opts cmd1 cmd1 opts cmd2 cmd2 opts or setup py help cmd1 cmd2 or setup py help commands or setup py cmd help error invalid command bdist wheel ERROR Failed building wheel for pytest env Running setup py clean for pytest env Failed to build pytest env```

Ah doing `pip3 install wheel` before the `pip3 install e dev ` command has resolved that issue

Ok second issue is the result of running `pytest` ```13 failed 5559 passed 97 skipped 2 xpassed 267 warnings in 310 87s 0 05 10 ``` All of the failed tests have the following at the end of their output ```E assert 1 == 0 E + where 1 = lt Result TypeError gt not supported between instances of MagicMock and MagicMock gt exit code```

The test files that this is occurring in are ```FAILED tests cli test auth py test list tenants assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test auth py test list tokens assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test get py test get flows cloud assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test get py test get flows populated assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test get py test get projects assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test get py test get projects populated assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test get py test get flow runs cloud assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test get py test get flow runs populated assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test get py test get tasks cloud assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test get py test get tasks populated assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test get py test get logs assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test get py test get logs by id assert 1 == 0 FAILED tests cli test run py test run flow logs assert 1 == 0```

Interesting Running `pytest tests` results in all of the tests passing

Matt Drago · Answer

Now to work out how to run tests of the extras

Matt Drago · Answer

A little reading and then guessing and `pip3 install e all extras ` resulted in all of the extra packages being installed But this failed as I didn t have `sql h` To fix this I ran `sudo apt install unixodbc dev` Ubuntu Re running the above pip3 install command then succeeded Note that there were still errors about versions of libraries not matching but the overall result was success
