Pycharm with ssh interpreter

If you have a Docker image running on a remote server, you can set up PyCharm to use the python interpreter in that image locally. To do so, you go to Preferences > Project > Project Interpreter. You then select the SSH Interpreter option. Then you need to set up your connection, indicate the right port. There is more on this in this article.

Anyway, once this all done properly, I was still having some issue with running pytest with this ssh interpreter. pytest would point to my local path. I had to define a path mapping between my local path and my remote path. To do so, you go to Preferences > Project > Project Interpreter. Below the project interpreter, you see Path mappings, and you can define one from your local to your remote. After that, pytest should be able to find your test.
