tox could not find executable 'rmdir'












0














I am trying to create a tox.ini file that runs my tests, clears previous coverages, and creates a coverage. I want to delete the previous htmlcov folder, by rmdir /S /Q htmlcov.



The error I get is: ERROR: InvocationError for command could not find executable 'rmdir', however, the command works in the command line.



Can someone explain why?



Here is my tox.ini file:



[tox]
envlist = py35


[testenv]
deps = pytest
coverage

commands = pytest
coverage erase
rmdir /S /Q htmlcov
coverage run --branch __main__.py test
coverage report --omit='.tox/*,venv/*,tests/'
coverage html --omit='.tox/*,venv/*,tests/'

    Which OS? On Windows rmdir isn't an executable but a shell command.
