tenzir-test 0.7.0

Reusable test execution framework extracted from the Tenzir repository.

🧪 tenzir-test

tenzir-test is the reusable test harness that powers the Tenzir project. It discovers test scenarios and Python fixtures, prepares the execution environment, and produces artifacts you can diff against established baselines.

✨ Highlights

• 🔍 Auto-discovers tests, inputs, and configuration across both project and package layouts, including linked satellite projects.
• 🧩 Supports configurable runners and reusable fixtures so you can tailor how scenarios execute and share setup logic.
• 🛠️ Provides a tenzir-test CLI for orchestrating suites, updating baselines, and inspecting artifacts.

📦 Installation

Install the latest release from PyPI with uvx—tenzir-test requires Python 3.12 or newer:

uvx tenzir-test --help

uvx downloads the newest compatible release, runs it in an isolated environment, and caches subsequent invocations for fast reuse.

🚀 Quick Start

Create a project skeleton that mirrors the layout the harness expects:

project-root/
├── fixtures/
│   └── http.py
├── inputs/
│   └── sample.ndjson
├── runners/
│   └── __init__.py
└── tests/
    ├── alerts/
    │   ├── sample.py
    │   └── sample.txt
    └── regression/
        ├── dummy.tql
        └── dummy.txt

1. Author fixtures in fixtures/ and register them at import time.
2. Store reusable datasets in inputs/—the harness exposes the path via TENZIR_INPUTS and provides a per-test scratch directory through TENZIR_TMP_DIR when tests execute. Use --keep (or -k) to preserve those temporary directories for debugging.
3. Create tests in tests/ and pair them with reference artifacts (for example .txt) that the harness compares against.
4. Run uvx tenzir-test from the project root to execute the full suite.
