Testing

Tests for neo are based on the pytest framework. To run the available tests, invoke py.test on the test directory:

py.test test

The easiest way to debug failing tests is to run them individually. The names for specific tests can be found with the -v option.

py.test test/ls_test.py::test_ls[git1]

Test structure

Each function that begins with test_ indicates a test to run. util.py provides useful testing utilities for testing neo.

• The neo fixture provides the path to the current neo python script.

• The testrepos fixture provides a set of repositories to test against of varying git/hg combinations. Each repository has a local "server" specified by absolute path and the server address can be accesses through the testrepos variable. Currently the repostories are laid out in the following:

test1
`- test2
   `- test3
      `- test4

• The assertls takes a neo path, directory to test, and a structure of repositories to compare against the result of neo ls.

ls_test.py provides the simpliest test to demonstrate the framework.
