mm-test-adapters
This builds device adapters commonly used for testing and development of mmCoreAndDevices (micro-manager).
- DemoCamera
- Utilities
- SequenceTester
- NotificationTester
It makes these builds available in two places:
-
Via GitHub releases: https://github.com/micro-manager/mm-test-adapters/releases
These releases include just the shared libraries for these adapters.
-
Via a PyPI package:
pip install mm-test-adapters
This package includes the shared libraries, and a single public method,
mm_test_adapters.device_adapter_path, which returns a path to the device adapters folder.
Using PyPI Package
import pymmcore # or pymmcore_plus
from mm_test_adapters import device_adapter_path
core = pymmcore.CMMCore()
core.setDeviceAdapterSearchPaths([device_adapter_path()])
Build Adapters
To build these locally, you should first have system boost installed:
# macos
brew install boost
# ubuntu
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
# windows
choco install boost-msvc-14.2
uv sync --no-editable
# or
uv run fetch.py --build
Build Python Package
To build an sdist and wheel, run:
uv build
You may optionally set the env var MM_SHA to build a specific commit
of mmCoreAndDevices.
Cleanup
If you want to remove all external sources and build files:
make clean
note, the makefile also works on Windows if you have git for windows.
Using Releases on CI
To use these on CI see https://github.com/pymmcore-plus/setup-mm-test-adapters
- name: Install MM test adapters
uses: pymmcore-plus/setup-mm-test-adapters@main
with:
# all inputs are optional
# version should look like:
# literal string 'latest'
# DIV -> version: 74
# DIV.YYYYMMDD -> version: 74.202508
version: latest
destination: ./mm-test-adapters
Using Releases Locally
Download the release you would like to use, then place it wherever Micro-Manager is looking for device adapters.
To have them found by pymmcore-plus, place them in the default
pymmcore-plus install
location, named Micro-Manager-YYYYMMDD
- Windows:
$LOCALAPPDATA/pymmcore-plus/pymmcore-plus/mm/Micro-Manager-YYYYMMDD - macOS:
$HOME/Library/Application Support/pymmcore-plus/mm/Micro-Manager-YYYYMMDD - Linux:
$HOME/.local/share/pymmcore-plus/mm/Micro-Manager-YYYYMMDD
[!TIP] On macOS, you will need to give permissions to allow the shared libraries to run:
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Application\ Support/pymmcore-plus/mm/Micro-Manager-*
