hollerandClaude Sonnet 5 27cdaa197c feat(lamni,flomni): tomo_parameters() opens the GUI window, CLI is tomo_parameters_cli()
- shared TomoQueueMixin.tomo_parameters() opens OMNY_TomoParams in its own
  window (lamni_tomo_params / flomni_tomo_params); repeat calls do not open
  a second one; a missing or failing GUI raises the setup's error and points
  to tomo_parameters_cli() instead of silently falling back
- rename the prompt-based versions to tomo_parameters_cli()
- docs: describe both, and use the CLI in the queue examples that rely on
  the command blocking until the values are entered
- add tests with a fake GUI

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.
