Testing

The package uses pytest for unit testing.

If you want to run the tests, first get a copy of the code per the instructions in the Developing section.

Then you can run all tests by:

$ tox -q -e pytest

To run a single test you can do:

$ pytest tests/the_test_you_want.py

If you want to see more output of the test while it’s running you can do:

$ pytest -sv -ra --tb=line tests/the_test_you_want.py

Each test will write files into its own directory:

/tmp/echolocator/tests/*

The tests clear their directory when they start, but not when they finish. This allows you to examine what’s been written by the test.
