Tackle Test Rigging

None

• Proposal Status: wip

• Issue Number: 262

• Proposal Doc: testing-tackle.md

Overview

Design

• A make file will exist at the root to

  • Create and activate a venv

  • Install tackle and testing requirements (ie pytest and tox)

• Tackle will then wrap pytest and tox

• Tackle will have two local versions installed

  • A stable version pinned to a working version - pip install tackle==...

  • A locally built version from setup.py which will change it's entrypoint to tkl based on an environment variable TACKLE_LOCAL_INSTALL

• Env var

  • The TACKLE_LOCAL_INSTALL env var is set in the make file

  • Naively you can simply use tackle, the default entrypoint, but then if you break tackle you can't create the docs / do other stuff that requires tackle

  • This pattern will also be helpful when running tackle locally to maybe inform tackle to recompile the providers

Dual Installation

Providers

We will need to make a couple third party providers to
