MPI-Parallel, Crash-Safe Tests for Pytest
pytest-isolate-mpi is a plugin for Pytest to enable the test of MPI-parallel Python software. MPI-parallel tests are executed in forked MPI jobs with the help of mpirun to isolate the tests from each other. Thus, a crash in test only aborts the test, not the whole test suite. Similarly, deadlocks can be treated with timeouts for tests to prevent a test suite from never being able to finish:
import pytest
@pytest.mark.mpi(ranks=2, timeout=10, unit="s")
def test_with_mpi():
assert True # replace with actual, MPI-parallel test code
Installation
pytest-isolate-mpi is available on pypi.org and can be installed with pip:
pip install pytest-mpi-isolate
