At the beamline 0.15 s settle left a forward / backward offset of +18 .. +28 um at 20 mm/s that changed between repeats (oscillation after the ramp); with 0.3 s it is -2 .. -5 um and reproducible, at ~0.22 s more per line. settle_time and minimal_run_up stay options. Calibration entries now carry settle_time (and optionally minimal_run_up); a scan only uses the entries of its own settle time and run-up mode, so a table measured with one settling is never applied to another. The printed entry includes settle_time. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_017NrH3poJsYBCTVq2Y9fuHZ
Getting Started with Testing using pytest
BEC is using the pytest framework. It can be installed via
pip install pytest
in your python environment.
We note that pytest is part of the optional-dependencies [dev] of the plugin package.
Introduction
Tests in this package should be stored in the tests directory.
We suggest to sort tests of different submodules, i.e. scans or devices in the respective folder structure, and to folow a naming convention of <test_module_name.py>.
It is mandatory for test files to begin with test_ for pytest to discover them.
To run all tests, navigate to the directory of the plugin from the command line, and run the command
pytest -v --random-order ./tests
Note, the python environment needs to be active.
The additional arg -v allows pytest to run in verbose mode which provides more detailed information about the tests being run.
The argument --random-order instructs pytest to run the tests in random order, which is the default in the CI pipelines.
Test examples
Writing tests can be quite specific for the given function. We recommend writing tests as isolated as possible, i.e. try to test single functions instead of full classes. A very useful class to enable isolated testing is MagicMock. In addition, we also recommend to take a look at the How-to guides from pytest.
