the automated tests appear to all be broken

[ebo]

While evaluating NURBS-Python as a starting point for a numba project, I ran nosetest to start from the examples. I consistently found from 100 to over 200 broken tests in the test suite (depending on the branch).

What is the most stable branch that I should start from?

Are the automated test suite maintained?

Steps to reproduce:

• start with a clean Anaconda install
• install nose
• run 'nosetests .'

results in 100's of broken tests.

I am not sure what the problem is with nose but all automated tests are passing (please refer to CI logs/configuration for 5.x-dev branch for details). I use pytest (docs). For the branch information to work with, please refer to the wiki. Current stable version is 5.x series.

Just in case, I've dropped support for Python v3.4 and pypy3.5 for 5.x-dev branch and Python 2.7, Python 3.4 and pypy3.5 for 6.x-dev branch.

Edit: I've developed the numba port of the evaluators almost 2 years ago but never released it. I am planning to add numba.jit and numba.cuda.jit evaluators in 6.x branch when I find time to write tests for them :)

I have a little time at the moment to test the numba.jit support if you can release them now -- it would be less work for me writing tests than starting a branch from scratch...

As a note, my comment about the tests broken turned out to be the pypy version issue mentioned in the other bug report. On my install using pytests also breaks with the error:

=================================================================================== ERRORS ==================================================================================== ____ ERROR collecting tests/testvisualization.py ____ ImportError while importing test module '/home/ebo/save_all/gtd/projects/cnc/RPi/ref/NURBS-Python/tests/test_visualization.py'.

This is still a system issue, but broken all the same. I will see if I can either get pypy to work, or look into getting pytest to finish testing without a critical fail.
