Three independent fixes:
- sub_tomo_scan(): in 360-degree tomo_type-1 mode, every sub-tomogram used
to sweep the full 0-360 range, so each one's own fine grid contained
angle pairs exactly 180deg apart -- redundant tomographic information.
Sub-tomograms now each cover a 180deg span, split into low/high halves
by subtomo_number % 4 with a bit-reversal-of-4 phase table, so adjacent
pairs (1,2)/(3,4)/(5,6)/(7,8), either quartet, and all 8 combined each
independently form a complete, evenly-spaced 360deg tomogram at
successively finer spacing. Total projection count for a given
tomo_angle_stepsize is now identical between 180 and 360 mode (same N,
no longer doubled). Updated the 4 other consumers of the old N/step
formula (zero-deg reference gating, _tomo_type1_actual_grid, the
parameter wizard, the PDF report) to match. 180-degree mode is
unchanged. Live-verified against the running flomni sim: real motor
motion traces the expected boustrophedon path with no duplicate or
180deg-apart angles.
- Sample storage: added an owner field, packed into the same EPICS DESC
field as the sample name ("name | owner", via new sample_desc_codec.py)
since there's no separate PV for it. Wired through
FlomniSampleStorage, the CLI (flomni_modify_storage_non_interactive,
ftransfer_modify_storage), the two transfer routines that forward a
raw DESC value across a gripper move (now unpacked/repacked so owner
survives the move instead of being dropped or double-packed), and
SampleStorageWidget. Scoped to flomni only this session; OMNY's
storage/transfer mixin is unchanged.
- ConsoleButtonsWidget's ABORT button used to send SIGINT then, 500ms
later, a stop_devices() broadcast to ALL devices with no stop_id --
an un-suppressed error from that broadcast landing on a queue-tracked
instruction could kill the scan worker thread outright, requiring a
full BEC restart. Replaced with: queue.request_scan_abortion() (safe
no-op if idle, but registers a stop_id so expected errors are
suppressed), then SIGINT, then a direct, immediate Galil hard stop via
new GalilController.hard_abort_and_restore_positioning_mode() -- the
same method ftransfer_abort() now delegates to, so the CLI and GUI
paths can't drift apart again. SIGINT is sent before the hard stop:
live testing showed that if the hard stop's mntprgs-clearing side
effect lands first, a same-session polling loop can mistake it for
normal completion and fall through into ensure_gripper_up(), which
must not happen mid-transfer -- sending SIGINT first (near-instant)
gives that loop's own KeyboardInterrupt handler a head start before
the hard stop's own multi-step sequence completes. The button is
labeled per beamline (e.g. "Flomni Motion Stop") and disabled rather
than silently inert when no hard-stop device is configured/enabled.
Scoped to flomni only this session (OMNY/LamNI wiring deferred).
Live-verified against the running sim, including the exact
stop-lands-mid-queued-instruction scenario that previously crashed
the scan worker.

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.
