Test suite about pyh5md HOT 6 CLOSED

The testing is a bit minimal but I consider the issue closed until further notice :-)

from pyh5md.

This is a good idea. I am looking at the tests for active_papers_py, would you consider it a good example of what you are thinking for pyh5md?

from pyh5md.

Yes, that's what I'd like to see. You just type "nosetests" in the pyh5md directory and all tests are run. There are of course options to run only parts or do lots of other things, but the nice thing about nose is that writing tests and running all tests are both very simple operations.

I have the impression that nosetests relies on test definitions that are fully compliant with the standard library's unittest. Is that correct?

from pyh5md.

It's one-way: nose will happily run tests written for Python's unittest module, but it also has its own much more light-weight test format. Any Python module can be a test suite, with any function inside it whose name starts with 'test_' considered a test. These test functions use plain assert statements for verifying conditions.

I added a pytest based test. It is very easy and takes care of temporary directories.
