[Q&A] CI, pytest and extra vs env.

[ego-thales]

Hello,

I have trouble understanding the content of the virtual environment used when running uv run pytest. Namely, during my CI pipeline, I test

• build
• install
• pytest

And I want to test installed package. What would be the way to do so?

For example, is the following what I want?

uv build
uv pip install dist/my-wheel.whl[extra]
uv run pytest

I'm not at all sure what to do. What's confusing to me is that the uv doc clearcly states that dev dependencies are installed by default in the virtual environment, but there's no similar mention for extras (whether they're installed).

Thanks in advance.
