test-runner 0.6.1

A small test runner library for Python testing

test-runner—A Runner for Python Tests

Running Python tests is a complicated task, as it seems that there is not standard way of doing it. test-runner implements some heuristics that try to run tests with or without coverage measuring, independent of the used testing framework.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• You have installed Python at least in version 3.6.
• You have a recent Linux machine. The library is most likely to not work on another operating system since it is depending on benchexec for resource handling, which currently only runs on recent versions of Linux.
• For development it is necessary to have the poetry packaging and dependency management system.

Installing Test Runner

Test Runner can be easily installed from PyPI using the pip utility:

pip install test-runner

Contributing to Test Runner

To contribute to Test Runner, follow these steps:

1. Fork this repository.
2. Setup a virtual environment for development using poetry: poetry install.
3. Create a branch: git checkout -b <branch_name>.
4. Make your changes and commit them git commit -m '<commit_message>'.
5. Push to the original branch: git push origin <project_name>/<location>.
6. Create the pull request.

Please note that we require you to meet the following criteria:

• Write unit tests for your code.
• Run linting with flake8 and pylint
• Run type checking using mypy
• Format your code according to the black code style

To ease the execution of the tools, we provide a Makefile with various targets. The easiest way to execute all checks is to run make check on a poetry shell. Push your commits only if they pass all checks! These tools are also executed in continuous integration on TravisCI and will also check you pull request. Failing a check will block your pull request from being merged!
