How to test a new feature or a pull request

How to test a new feature

We use use an example of a new pull request and explain how to test it. For instance, we start with the following pull request 106. Its snapshot is:

What is important to note is the name of the branch from which the pull request is submitted. What we need to do is:

1. clone the branch as below or download the zip file from the respective branch
   • first add the remote repository
   • fetch the new repository
   • clone only the necessary branch
2. install openptv and run the tests (make verify)
3. install Python bindings and run their tests (nosetests --verbose)

So in our example what we do is clone the yosefm:segmentation_bindings and test. It would be the following set of commands:

git clone -b segmentation_bindings --single-branch git@github.com:yosefm/openptv.git
cd openptv/liboptv/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
make verify
sudo make install

after liboptv is installed

cd ../../py_bind
python setup.py build_ext -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib
python setup.py install
cd tests
nosetests --verbose
