This directory contains tests for various functionality areas of MicroPython.
|
|
To run all stable tests, run "run-tests" script in this directory.
|
|
|
|
Tests of capabilities not supported on all platforms should be written
|
|
to check for the capability being present. If it is not, the test
|
|
should merely output 'SKIP' followed by the line terminator, and call
|
|
sys.exit() to raise SystemExit, instead of attempting to test the
|
|
missing capability. The testing framework (run-tests in this
|
|
directory, test_main.c in qemu_arm) recognizes this as a skipped test.
|
|
|
|
There are a few features for which this mechanism cannot be used to
|
|
condition a test. The run-tests script uses small scripts in the
|
|
feature_check directory to check whether each such feature is present,
|
|
and skips the relevant tests if not.
|
|
|
|
Tests are generally verified by running the test both in MicroPython and
|
|
in CPython and comparing the outputs. If the output differs the test fails
|
|
and the outputs are saved in a .out and a .exp file respectively.
|
|
For tests that cannot be run in CPython, for example because they use
|
|
the machine module, a .exp file can be provided next to the test's .py
|
|
file. A convenient way to generate that is to run the test, let it fail
|
|
(because CPython cannot run it) and then copy the .out file (but not
|
|
before checking it manually!)
|
|
|
|
When creating new tests, anything that relies on float support should go in the
|
|
float/ subdirectory. Anything that relies on import x, where x is not a built-in
|
|
module, should go in the import/ subdirectory.
