Run the tests using pytest

Testing is done with pytest. It will find functions in the project that look like tests, and run them to check for errors. You can run it with:

$ pytest

When you have some fully working tests then you can run it with coverage:

$ tox -e tests

It will also report coverage to the commandline and to cov.xml.

Run the system tests locally

The system tests require the example-services project:

git clone git@github.com:epics-containers/example-services.git

Then you need to launch some of the example ioc containers. Please note, this requires docker-compose not podman-compose:

module load docker-compose
cd example-services
. ./environment.sh
podman compose up -d bl01t-di-cam-01 bl01t-mo-sim-01 ca-gateway

Once this is done, then the system tests can be run:

tox -e system-report
