I added 442c892 which add some tips about the testsuite into CONTRIBUTING.rst
@telenieko merged! thanks for the amazing work here!! I do agree on pytest
decision, for me it's much better than Django unittest and it has many really interesting plugins.
This PR proposes a new test insfrastructure based on pytest. Currently it does more profound testing of what was already tested, though a lot is still to be done.
The test suite will generate a Coverage report and a pytest report. The pytest report includes screenshots. See samples here:
Current coverage with it is up to 57% from 39% previously. What follows is part of the commit message of 79f84f7.
The test system now uses pytest with some useful plugins as I believe pytest to be considerably easier to use than standard django test suite. To run tests:
We also enable Selenium for client side testing and to generate screenshots. To test without selenium:
Pre-existing tests have been migrated and some other tests have been added bringing the current coverage to 57% up from 39%. Note that previous testing was prrety much a call to crud_for_app, the current tests actually test for some of the functionality, though a lot is yet to be written.
Also, what was now 'testapp' is now 'test_project' and 'test_project.testapp' to allow a) to use pytest-django and b) to make it easier to further extend the testapp/test_project for more testing.
Last but not least, you can't use "python setup.py test" but have to go with "pytest". That was to avoid another dependency on pytest-runner. It's something to keep working.
