# novelWriter Tests The test suite uses PyTest for testing. ## Dependencies * `python3-pytest` for the basic framework (required) * `python3-pytestqt` for Qt support (required) * `python3-pytest-cov` for code coverage reports (optional) * `python3-pytest-xvfb` for headless tests (optional) ## HowTo ### Basic Usage To run all tests, type: ```bash pytest-3 -v ``` The `-v` switch enables verbose mode, with one test per line. For a more compact view, omit this switch. ### Headless To run tests in headless mode, either use the Qt `offscreen` mode: ```bash export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen ``` or run with `xvfb`: ```bash xvfb-run pytest-3 -v ``` ### Test Coverage To add test coverage, run the following: ```bash pytest-3 -v --cov=nw --cov-report=html ``` The `--cov-report` switch generates an html report, omit it to print a coverage summary to the terminal. The html coverage report will be available in the `htmlcov` folder. ### Test Markers (Categories) To run with specific test markers, add the `-m` switch: ```bash pytest-3 -v -m core ``` Available markers are: * `base` for unit tests covering the non-gui classes of the `bw` folder.. * `core` for unit tests covering the classes in the `nw/core` folder. * `gui` for unit and integrations tests covering the classes in the `nw/gui` folder. ## Tests To filter specific groups of tests, use the `-k` switch. The commands for the respective test categories are listed below. | Type | Test Target | Source File(s) | Marker | Filter | | :---------- | :----------------------- | :--------------------- | :-------- | :----------------------- | | Unit | Main function | nw/\_\_init\_\_.py | `-m base` | `-k testBaseInit` | | Unit | Common functions | nw/common.py | `-m base` | `-k testBaseCommon` | | Unit | Config class | nw/config.py | `-m base` | `-k testBaseConfig` | | Unit | Error handlers | nw/error.py | `-m base` | `-k testBaseError` | | Unit | Core functions | nw/core/tools.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreTools` | | Unit | NWDoc class | nw/core/document.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreDocument` | | Unit | NWIndex class | nw/core/index.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreIndex` | | Unit | NWItem class | nw/core/item.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreItem` | | Unit | NWProject class | nw/core/project.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreProject` | | Unit | NWSpell* classes | nw/core/spellcheck.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreSpell` | | Unit | NWStatus class | nw/core/status.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreStatus` | | Unit | NWTree class | nw/core/tree.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreTree` | | Unit | OptionsState class | nw/core/options.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreOptions` | | Unit | ToHtml class | nw/core/tohtml.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreToHtml` | | Unit | Tokenizer class | nw/core/tokenizer.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreToken` | | Integration | About Dialogs | nw/gui/about.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiAbout` | | Integration | Build Novel Project Tool | nw/gui/build.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiBuild` | | Integration | Document Editor Widget | nw/gui/doceditor.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiEditor` | | Integration | Document Viewer Widget | nw/gui/docviewer.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiViewer` | | Integration | Item Editor Dialog | nw/gui/itemeditor.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiItemEditor` | | Integration | Menu Widgets | nw/gui/mainmenu.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiMenu` | | Integration | Merge Tool | nw/gui/docmerge.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiMergeSplit` | | Integration | Outline Widget | nw/gui/outline.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiOutline` | | Integration | Preferences Dialog | nw/gui/preferences.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiPreferences` | | Integration | Project Load Dialog | nw/gui/projload.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiProjLoad` | | Integration | Project Settings Dialog | nw/gui/projsettings.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiProjSettings` | | Integration | Project Tree Widget | nw/gui/projtree.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiProjTree` | | Integration | Theme/Icon Classes | nw/gui/theme.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiTheme` | | Integration | Split Tool | nw/gui/docsplit.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiMergeSplit` | | Integration | Writing Stats Dialog | nw/gui/writingstats.py | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiWritingStats` | | Integration | Various Dialogs | N/A | `-m gui` | `-k testGuiDialogs` |
