Ouch!!
I have counted 34 apps that depend from the custom component HeaderWithLogin. There may be more apps that I missed.
I started following your advice, that is changing this:
import CommonFunctionsClient
from UserConfigPage import UserConfigPage
into this:
from .. import CommonFunctionsClient
from ..UserConfigPage import UserConfigPage
And it did work.
But then I remembered about the importgeddon I always have when executing the apps in PyCharm, then running tests, then using apps as dependencies, then running apps as stand alone apps, and I followed these guidelines (at paragraph “Relative vs absolute imports”): always use the app/dependency name when importing.
So I changed it into this:
from HeaderWithLogin import CommonFunctionsClient
from HeaderWithLogin.UserConfigPage import UserConfigPage
I tested with two apps and everything seems to be working well with their dependencies set to development.
Tomorrow I will crawl through all the other apps, ready to answer the phone. It will be a long day.
… or is there a better approach?
