Here we document how unit testing is performed for PM, and provide an overview of what sort of tests are performed. Unit tests for PM are stored in a separate repository called principia-materia-tests.
PM performs unit testing with Pytest, which is a standard framework for unit testing within python. All unit tests may be run by going into the repo, installing the required dependencies, and executing pytest.
git clone git@github.com:marianettigroup/principia-materia-tests.git
cd principia-materia-test
pip install requirements.txt
pytest
An individual test can be run by changing into a directory and running pytest on a specific test. For example,
cd tests/translation_group
pytest test_translation_group.py
