Environment

Add the path to the directory that contains the module to test (in this case ./src/main/python contains my_module_to_test.py):

PYTHONPATH="$(dirname $0)/src/main/python"
export PYTHONPATH

This can be added to .envrc as follows:

PYTHONPATH="${PWD}/src/main/python"
export PYTHONPATH

from my_module_to_test import some_function

    return Path(Path(__file__).parent, f'./data/{file_name}')
