Need docs for how to run the tests #37

Closed crccheck closed 6 years ago

crccheck commented 6 years ago

Some code assumes you're running from the DownloaderForReddit/ directory, but the tests are then in ../Tests. There's lots of other weird things that prevent the normal ways of getting python -m unittest from being able to discover and run the tests.

I can get tests to start running if I'm in the project root and do PYTHONPATH=DownloaderForReddit/ python -m unittest but then I'm in the wrong directory for open(supported_sites_file, 'r') to work.

The project has been restructured to solve a lot of the problems related to this issue. Now both the app and tests are run from the main DownloaderForReddit directory (not the DownloaderForReddit sub directory).

The "Setting Up A Development Environment" wiki page has been updated to reflect this and add a line about running the tests. New extractor package tests have also been added.
