x01dcandClaude Sonnet 5 1eb324aad3 fix(flomni): reuse the same phase table for 360deg tomo instead of two
Supersedes the complementary even/odd-eighths tables from 900c810 with
a single shared phase_eighths table used in both 180 and 360 mode, so
subtomo N carries the same phase-tier role regardless of
tomo_angle_range. The complementary property of the low/high phase
sets now falls out as a consequence of the original table's structure
instead of needing a separately derived table.

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.
