Streamline and document testing mechanism #140

Open pseewald opened 1 year ago

pseewald commented 1 year ago

The current testing mechanism is hard to maintain and should be simplified:

[x] separate unit tests from tests acting on external Fortran code
[ ] Create at least 3 test suites for unit tests, quick testing and extended testing
[x] everything should be native Python (no shell scripts or system calls)
[x] make it easy to add new external Fortran code via configuration file
[x] Support non-default fprettify options for external Fortran code (#44)
[ ] Document how to debug failing tests
[ ] ~consider switching to pytest (#136)~

EDIT: crossed out pytest as unittest seems to be flexible enough for the moment.
