Testing¶
For code tests, sphinx-exercise uses pytest.
Run the tests with the following command:
>> cd sphinx-exercise
>> pip install -e .[testing]
>> pytest
To run the tests in multiple isolated environments, you can also run tox
>> cd sphinx-exercise
>> tox
To test the build of documentation run
>> cd sphinx-exercise
>> tox docs-update
or
>> cd sphinx-exercise/docs
>> make clean
>> make html
Unit Testing¶
We use pytest for testing, pytest-regression to regenerate expected outcomes of test and pytest-cov for checking coverage.
To run tests with coverage and an html coverage report:
pytest -v --cov=sphinx_exercise --cov-report=html
Writing Tests¶
The module sphinx.testing is used to run sphinx builds for tests, in a temporary directory.
If creating a new source folder for test files, folder name should start with test-.
Your folder should reside inside the tests/books directory, which has been set as the root directory for tests.
The tests should start with:
@pytest.mark.sphinx('html', testroot="mybook")
In the above declaration, html builder is used. And mybook is the source folder which was created with the name test-mybook inside tests/books folder.
Sphinx Application API is available as a parameter to all the test functions:
@pytest.mark.sphinx('html', testroot="mybook")
def mytest(app):
