CI for csaxs_bec / test (push) Successful in 3m55s
fix(omny): reset progress fields before zero-degree reference shots
progress["projection"]/["subtomo_projection"]/["subtomo_total_projections"]/
["total_projections"] are otherwise only ever set inside sub_tomo_scan()'s
per-point loop. The zero_deg_reference_at_each_subtomo pre/post shots call
_tomo_scan_at_angle() directly, bypassing that -- so the printed progress
showed whatever was left over from a previous scan/subtomo instead of a
value that made sense for the shot. Confirmed live: a fresh scan's first
reference shot printed a stale "Projection: 9 / Total: 32" from an earlier
run. Same bug exists in flomni.py (this was ported from there faithfully,
bug included) -- flagged in OPEN_ISSUES.md but not touched, out of this
branch's scope.

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.
