Full functionality testing for installation scripts? #21

Closed InfamousPlatypus closed 2 years ago

InfamousPlatypus commented 2 years ago

I'm trying to get scripts to install automatically, what all would I need to check to see that it worked properly, could I just tell python to add two numbers together, but in Haskell and if it works, everything is good, or is there some other "section" that I need to check? Thanks!

That's probably a reasonable first test but it wouldn't guarantee that everything is working.

One test you could try is:

python3 hyphen_examples_full.py

This will run ~all the tests from the documentation and a few other tests, in each of the GIL and interrupt modes.

For even more extensive testing possibilities, you can look at the tests run in CI. see here. This does things like simulate interrupts to verify that all the various modes are working the way they are meant to.

For a slightly less intensive test, you could modify hyphen_examples_full so it didn't run all the GIL/interrupt modes.

That sounds great! Thanks!
