Run Single File Tests

The command line mpf test can run single file tests or doc pages.

You can create a text file which contains the main config, shows and modes of your test machine. Then at the bottom you can create some test assertions.

The structure look like this:

# your machine-wide config here. That is what is normally in config/config.yaml.

# you can have a few modes
##! mode: some_mode
# mode config here

# you can have a few modes
##! mode: another_mode
# mode config here

# additionally you can have separate shows
##! show: some_show
# show here

# now you can add a test
##! test
#! start_game
# run the machine for 1 virtual second
#! advance_time_and_run 1
# post an event
#! post some_event

All test assertions are defined in MpfDocTestCase. Just remove the command_ prefix and you are good to go.
