  Check Server Connection

Dev Notes

Skill is broken down into 3 main parts

• emby_client.py
  • An intentionally lean synchronous Emby client
• emby_croft.py
  • Logic layer between Emby client and Mycroft
• init.py
  • Mycroft skill hooks

Testing

• Unit tests should be added to the test/unit directory

This test files are expected to have tests using mocks and using a real Emby server. The expectation is that there will be 2 tests that are exactly the same; 1 that will utilize mocks for the calls to the Emby server and another that will actually call the Emby server and handle real responses. They will be distinguished by pytest marks. All tests marked with 'mocked' will be ran on each push to git via travis CI.
