Ilan / Pradyun meeting (Getting the ball rolling!)

March 28, 2020

  • Filed the first PR!

  • What functionality do we need, as a person writing these tests

    • Selecting tests (based on resolver, based on YAML, based on file?)

    • Skipping tests based on which resolver they’re running with

    • Error messages

    • Ability to pass options

  • * What do want do with the tests (running, writing etc)

    • Maintain the current format; while extending it

      • to allow passing options

      • to allow state to propagate (it already does? yes)

    • Better error checking + reporting

  • * We won’t make these non-Python tests from pytest’s perspective (pytest has functionality for this: https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/example/nonpython.html)

    • Ilan: Thinking of adding a new module, and experimenting with the testing and, yea, then think about how this new module can… you know do the old & new tests

    • Pradyun: don’t be wary of modifying these existing files

  • Looking at the code

    • (yay! only 200 LoC!)

  • [on tests]

    • How tests are skipped

    • How installations are done

    • How processing happens

      • How each case is run

      • State passed within a test

  • Pradyun: Can run generate_yaml_tests directly, to see what the output of that is!

  • Pradyun: Can run tests and print the inputs to each tests as well!

Take aways: Ilan will spend some time to get more familiar with the code: “have a good overview of the current state and where we want to be”
