ImportError: No module named base

Question

I'm trying to implement PageObject pattern for my first Login test. While running it I'm receiving the following error:

>> py.test -v test_login.py 
============================= test session starts ==============================
platform linux2 -- Python 2.7.3 -- pytest-2.3.4

../pages/__init__.py:1: in <module>
>   from loginPage import LoginPage
../pages/loginPage.py:3: in <module>
>   from base import BasePage
E   ImportError: No module named base

Here is the pythonpath:

Pythonpath: PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/usr/lib/python2.7/"

export PYTHONPATH

As far as it's one of my first tests a lot of code was copy-pasted, maybe there's something wrong with it but I'd can't get it. Will be very pleased with any suggestions on this point.

Also below is the structure and content of my so-called PageObject implementation:

Answer 1

Your base module is located in the ui module. Hence line:

from base import BasePage

should be:

from ui.base import BasePage

Answer 2

i was just a beginner when this error struck what i did was instead of:

from models.post import Post

i did the following after installing post as package:

from post import Post

it worked for me

Answer 3

I was just a beginner when this error struck. So, what I did was:

from models.post import Post
