Description

Describe the Bug

During the workshop we ran tox on a demo package. There were a lot of errors possibly related to coverage?

To Reproduce

Cookiecut a fresh cookie.

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -e ".[dev,test]"
which tox
tox
Expected Behaviour

tox should run tests in all supported Python versions with nice comforting green text. And no red text.

Actual Behaviour
/Users/scnlf/projects/example-cookie/.tox/py311/lib/python3.11/site-packages/coverage/inorout.py:509: CoverageWarning: Module example-cookie was never imported. (module-not-imported)
  self.warn(f"Module {pkg} was never imported.", slug="module-not-imported")
