ImportError while running tests

What your run configuration looks like?

If you copy the command that PyCharm runs and run it in the command line, what's the result?

Hi Sergey,

I was able to get the test to run in PyCharm by moving test.py to Tests\test.py.

The PyCharm command doesn't work from command line, it says "ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"

As I said now I can run the test, so I'm OK. But it would be nice to understand why it didn't work at root level (PyCharm should provide better error messages), or, better, get it to work as it does from command line.

I was unable to attach text files, so here are the text files that I had prepared for you:

Could you check if the issue reproduces in a brand new project with some simple test?
