`tdd` theme doesn't work with `pdm` about python-polylith

Thank you for reporting @ljnsn!

I have probably missed out on setting the paths correctly in the generated pth file for the tdd theme. I'll have a look!

I think this issue is solved now @ljnsn and I have released new versions of the PDM hooks, and also the CLI.

The tdd theme needs a sync and pdm install when a new brick has been added. This is the case for Poetry too.

The reason is because of the dynamic type of paths that is created with the tdd theme. This is related to why I came up with the - for Python - recommended loose theme, when learning that I had to add each unique path to my mypy configuration with the structure according to how it's done in Clojure.

The hook it is making PDM aware of where the bricks are found. What happens behind the scenes is that the Hook will add a pth file to the current virtual environment.

I haven't found a way to set wildcards to paths, and don't think that is possible.

Other than that, the tdd theme should work fine! 😄

@DavidVujic I can confirm it works now, thanks for the fix! 🙂

What paths did you add? I usually run mypy with -p <namespace.package> in monorepos, but it still makes it necessary to list all the different packages, which is definitely not ideal.. I prefer the tests to live in the bricks' directories though, next to the source code, so for now I think there's no way around it.

On each PDM build command, there is a polylith_workspace.pth file created and handed over to the PDM build process. The paths added are the paths to the bases and components that are defined in the pyproject.toml file.

For the loose theme, the paths added are simply "/bases" and "/components". This is because the top namespace is directly below that path. And the top namespace is the same for all.

For the tdd theme, the paths to the top namespace are added such as /components/my_component_name/src. The pth file is updated each time with the new paths that have been added. I think the same goes for the MyPy config, it needs to know the path - the base/component name is dynamic with the tdd theme, so that's why it need to be updated.

Glad to hear that it works! 🎉

I have written a little bit about MyPy in the example repo: https://github.com/DavidVujic/python-polylith-example?tab=readme-ov-file#the-loose-theme
