With the introduction and use of pytest, it is simple and easy to
execute specific tests in isolation through documented command line
arguments. Either by specifying the module path or through the `-k
EXPRESSION` argument. There is no longer any need to provide the
boilerplate:
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
To every test file. It is simply noise.
The pattern remains in test files that aren't named with `test_*` as
those files are not discovered and executed by pytest by default.
The previous test configuration made it difficult to run a single test
with the pytest CLI. There were two major issues:
- The Tests directory was not a package. It now includes a __init__.py
file and imports from other tests modules are done with relative
imports.
- setup.cfg always specified the Tests directory. So even if a specific
test were specified as a CLI arg, this configuration would also always
include all tests. This configuration has been removed to allow
specifying a single test on the command line.
Contributors can now run specific tests with a single command such as:
$ tox -e py37 -- Tests/test_file_pdf.py::TestFilePdf.test_rgb
This makes it easy and faster to iterate on a single test failure and is
very familiar to those that have previously used tox and pytest.
When running tox or pytest with no arguments, they still discover and
runs all tests in the Tests directory.
In 32bit computers (when making wheels) it was found that the
precision of the extended information in test_extended_information() was
found to be lesser than what was being tested. This commit adds a helper
function which reduces the precision by truncating (multiplying by
10 ** digits, truncating to int and dividing by 10 ** digits) and then
testing the rtruncated numbers rather than the original numbers.
