FOQUS Automated test Suites

How to run FOQUS's Automated tests ( GUI and non-GUI )

• Unless otherwise noted, all commands should be run from the repository root (i.e. the parent of the .git directory).

Steps

Setup environment

# create new Conda environment
conda create --name ccsi-foqus -c conda-forge python=3.10 pywin32=306
# activate Conda env
conda activate ccsi-foqus  
# install dev dependencies
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
# install PSUADE
conda install -c conda-forge -c CCSI-Toolset psuade-lite
# check that psuade is installed
psuade --help

Run pytest

pytest --pyargs foqus_lib -x -v -m "gui" --qtbot-slowdown-wait-ms=100

Expected results

• This should take a few minutes
  • The -x flag makes pytest exit immediately after the first failure
• The FOQUS main window will be opened and run through the actions defined in the tests "by itself" (i.e. no manual intervention should be necessary)
• The action currently being executed will be displayed as a red rectangle around the action's target widget and a label with the action's name
• Specify a different value for --qtbot-slowdown-wait-ms (in ms) to run the tests so that they appear slower or faster
• There should now be a .pytest-artifacts subdirectory, containing these two subdirectories:
  • foqus_working_dir, containing the files produced by FOQUS during the test run
  • screenshots, containing the screenshots that were generated automatically before and after each action
  • snapshots, containing a set of specialized "data dumps" of a parent widget and all its children, used for debugging issues with locating widgets
