Running Tests

# Basic test run
pytest tests/

# Verbose output
pytest -v

# Run specific test file
pytest tests/test_allocation_commands.py

# Run with coverage and HTML report
pytest --cov=cueadmin --cov-report=html --cov-report=term-missing

# Use the convenience script
./run_tests.sh --coverage --html

Coverage Reporting

# Terminal coverage report
pytest --cov=cueadmin --cov-report=term-missing

# HTML coverage report (generates htmlcov/ directory)
pytest --cov=cueadmin --cov-report=html

# XML coverage for CI/CD
pytest --cov=cueadmin --cov-report=xml

Development Testing

For contributors:

# Install development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run all tests with linting
pytest && pylint cueadmin tests

# Run tests across Python versions (requires tox)
tox

# Format code
black cueadmin tests
isort cueadmin tests

CI/CD Integration:

# In OpenCue root directory
./ci/run_python_tests.sh     # Includes cueadmin tests
./ci/run_python_lint.sh      # Includes cueadmin linting

# Run cueadmin tests specifically
cd cueadmin && python -m pytest tests/

Test Configuration

Tests are configured via pyproject.toml:

• pytest.ini_options - Test discovery and execution
• coverage settings - Coverage reporting configuration
• markers - Test categorization (unit, integration, slow)

Continuous Integration

The test suite is integrated into:

• GitHub Actions - Automated testing on PRs
• Docker builds - Container-based testing
• Lint pipeline - Code quality checks
