Py.test tests fail in Pycharm 2017.1 due to current directory

Just installed a new version of Pycharm 2017.1 and all my py.test test cases have stopped working. Dug a little bit and it looks like previous versions of Pycharm were used to run test cases from the project directory Test

. Pycharm now seems to run tests from the project directory Root

- hence test detection is not working as expected.

Others have identified the same problem but there are no solutions yet.

I tried to manually set the Working Directory to Edit Configurations

, but it didn't work. Anyone have a suggestion to fix this issue?

Note that I used to right click on the test case and only Pycharm

gave me the option to run one case. Now this parameter is no longer displayed. Perhaps it could be due to the detection of the test as I am getting the errorEmpty test suite.

ADDED

Error log for Pycharm. Note that the test is run from the package root instead of ../test directory

:
