Hi guys, one question. I remember that in previous versions of Kedro (circa v0.16), whenever a pipeline was created, the tests folders were created inside

src

. But since v0.19.4, they are placed in the project root. What was the reason behind the change? The change itself is mentioned in the release page in GitHub, but I couldn't find the PR associated with it to understand it.

This change makes pipelines self standing packages which can be installed and imported as such

rationale: https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/explanation/goodpractices.html#tests-outside-application-code

Thanks, guys! I always thought the existence of a

src

folder would already cover the separation between the package itself (

mypkg

in the pytest example) and the tests, thanks for the clarification. 🙂

the existence of the

src

folder is explained in https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/discussions/src-layout-vs-flat-layout/
