[Python] How can I run pytest in local repository (scikit-learn)

I want to run

$ pytest


to test a new feature in the codebase (scikit-learn). But when I run pytest, I get error, "scikit-learn is not built correctly". So I try to build it by following the instructions here, by using this

$ pip install --editable . --verbose --no-build-isolation --config-settings editable-verbose=true


but this does not work. Any other way to build scikit-learn?

This what I tried:

I downloaded vs_buildtools.exe with "Desktop development with C++". Then

C:> SET DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1
C:> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64


I used "Microsoft Visual Studio 2022" instead of "Microsoft Visual Studio 2019". Then,

$ pip install --editable . --verbose --no-build-isolation --config-settings editable-verbose=true
