Tests

Topwrap functionality is validated with tests, leveraging the pytest library.

Test execution

Tests are located in the tests directory. All tests can be run with nox by specifying the tests session:

nox -s tests

This only runs tests on python interpreter versions that are available locally. There is also a session tests_in_env that will automatically install all required python versions, provided you have pyenv installed:

nox -s tests_in_env

Note

To reuse existing virtual environment and avoid long installation time use -R option:

nox -R -s tests_in_env

To force a specific Python version and avoid running tests for all listed versions, use -p VERSION option:

nox -p 3.10 -s tests_in_env

Tests can also be launched without nox by executing:

python -m pytest

Warning

When running tests by invoking pytest directly, tests are ran only on the locally selected python interpreter. As CI runs them on all supported Python versions it’s recommended to run tests with nox on all versions before pushing.

Ignoring particular test can be done with --ignore=test_path, e.g:

python -m pytest --ignore=tests/tests_build/test_interconnect.py

Sometimes it’s useful to see what’s being printed by the test for debugging purposes. Pytest captures all output from the test and displays it when all tests finish. To see the output immediately, pass -s option to pytest:

python -m pytest -s

Test coverage

Test coverage is automatically generated when running tests with nox. When invoking pytest directly it can be generated with --cov=topwrap option. This will generate a summary of coverage displayed in CLI.

python -m pytest --cov=topwrap

Additionally, the summary can be generated in HTML with --cov=topwrap --cov-report html, where lines that were not covered by tests can be browsed:

python -m pytest --cov=topwrap --cov-report html

Generated report is available at htmlcov/index.html

Updating kpm test data

All kpm data from examples can be generated using nox. This is useful when changing topwrap functionality related to kpm in order to avoid manually changing every example’s test data. You can either update only one part of examples data like specification or update everything (dataflows, specifications, designs).

To update everything run:

nox -s update_test_data

To update only specifications run:

nox -s update_test_data -- specification

Possible options for update_test_data session:

  • specification - updates specifications

  • dataflow - updates dataflows

  • design - updates designs
