CI for csaxs_bec / test (push) Successful in 3m18s
fix(flomni): reset tomo progress before pre-flight gates, not after
tomo_scan() only reset the progress dict (projection/subtomo/angle/
tomo_start_time/heartbeat/...) inside the "new scan" block, which runs
after the eye/optics-in and filter-out-of-beam gates. If either gate
declined (e.g. the setup isn't in measurement condition, which disabling
rt feedback can trigger) or the tomo_type-4 angle-file check raised,
tomo_scan() returned/raised having never touched progress, leaving the
GUI/webpage showing projection/angle/start-time from whatever scan last
completed -- arbitrarily old, and easy to mistake for a scan still
running.

Hoists the "is this a new scan" check to the top of tomo_scan() and
calls progress.reset() there, before any gate runs; the heavier new-scan
actions (sample DB registration, PDF report, collect_empty_frames(), the
0-deg reference shot) stay exactly where they were, after the gates.

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.
