feat(flomni): add randomize_offset scan argument to flomni_fermat_scan
The per-call random sub-step offset of the Fermat lattice could not be
switched off from the scan (seed is only an argument of the static position
function, and a seed only makes the offset reproducible). Add an optional
randomize_offset: bool = True scan argument, passed through prepare_scan()
to get_flomni_fermat_spiral_pos(); False gives offset 0 (unshifted lattice).
Default keeps today's behaviour; tomo scans do not pass it.

Document it in the flomni user doc and add an omny AI_docs TODO describing
the port.

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.
