CI for csaxs_bec / test (push) Failing after 2m26s
fix(flomni): motion stop button stops all three Galil controllers
The GUI "Motion Stop" button did not stop the stages when pressed during
a sample transfer:
- stop_all_axes was not in the Galil controllers' USER_ACCESS, so the
  foptx stop over RPC could never work (only logged in the GUI server).
- fsamroy's controller (port 8084) was never stopped.
- an unresolvable device in _stop_device_controller returned silently.

The widget now takes hard_stop_device_names (flomni: ftransy, foptx,
fsamroy; transfer controller first) and sends stop_all_axes() to each
controller from its own thread, so a hung RPC cannot delay the others.
Devices are resolved freshly at click time with retries, every outcome
is logged and shown in the widget's message label, and positioning mode
is restored on the first controller only after all stops were sent. If
stop_all_axes is not yet exposed by the device server, the raw
XQ#STOP,1 is sent via socket_put_and_receive. The legacy
hard_stop_device_name/extra_hard_stop_device_name kwargs still work.

Not yet tested on hardware.

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.
