This was noted in one of the pytest issue/PR and it something that is on my radar once we released 0.19 and move fully to pytest.

e.g. in #8246 (comment).

Setup.cfg does specify --doctest-modules, and test_script.sh appears to install it... Not sure what's going on here.

I think this issue is about the doctests in the doc .rst not the doctests in the python modules.

@lesteve good radar :)
I think it's good to open issues for such problems, though, so
a) Other people can work on them
b) people that have no time to keep up (like myself) can find out about them ;)

I'm not sure I understand your comment. It seems to work fine for me locally, using pytest --doctest-glob='*.rst'

Interestingly it works if I run it in the modules subfolder, but running it in the doc folder doesn't work?

Interestingly

> pytest --doctest-glob='*.rst'   doc/tutorial/text_analytics

results in multiple ImportMismatchErrors for me locally...

Off the top of my head one thing I remember last time I looked is that there is no straight equivalent of nosetests --doctest-fixtures.

I did not look at it in more details since.

you have to call getfixture for making a fixture work with doctests.
