I know there are more similar questions but none of them solve the problem that I am having. I have assembled a very basic Python application with Flask: from flask import Flask app = Flask(__name__) @app.route('/') def index(): return 'HELLO WORLD!' app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000) Where older I have created a false unit test: def calc(x, y): return x + y def test_calc(): assert 5 == calc(2, 3) What I really want to create is a CI that creates a docker image, do the tests, and then post the docker image to Docker Hub but running this command to run the tests docker-compose run app sh -c "pytest test.py --cov -p no:cacheprovider" I get the error: test.py .
