fix(flomni): no 0-deg damage-estimation shots for tomo_type 4
Sub-tomogram numbers in a user angle file are just labels, so inserting
extra 0-deg projections at odd sub-tomogram transitions is surprising.
tomo_type 4 now ignores golden_projections_at_0_deg_for_damage_estimation;
the CLI no longer prompts for it and the widget hides it for type 4.
The unconditional 0-deg reference shot at the start of a new tomogram
is unchanged; further 0-deg shots can be put in the file directly.

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.
