Test Framework¶
The test framework is a series of tools to automate the verification process of the Blender Nif Plugin It aims to unify the various levels of testing that should be performed to release the plugin
- Unit
- Functional
- Integration
- Regression
- Performance
For an overview of each level see the :ref: design section <development-testframework-design>
Install¶
To install the plugin from a git checkout, run the following
cd blender_nif_plugin/install
install.bat
or from a terminal (Linux | Ubuntu):
./blender_nif_plugin/install
sh ./install.sh
Running Tests¶
To run all tests, run the following in a buildenv (Windows):
blender-nosetests.bat
or from a terminal (Linux | Ubuntu):
sh ./blender-nosetests.sh
from within the blender_nif_plugin/testframework/ folder.
Each test resides as a python file in the blender_nif_plugin/testframework/test/ folder.
To run a particular test only, specify the file as an argument; for instance:
blender-nosetests.bat test/geometry/trishape/test_geometry.py
Actually, all command line arguments of nosetests apply.
For example, to abort on first failure:
blender-nosetests.bat -x
For more details, run:
blender-nosetests.bat --help
- The tests will run on the currently installed plugin (not your checked out version!) so usually ensure you re-install after making edits to add-on files.
- Beware that the output can be rather verbose, so you may have to scroll quite a bit to see the relevant backtrace.
