Testing¶

The following is a simple guide to testing RAPIDS. All files necessary for testing are stored in the /tests directory

Steps for Testing¶

To begin testing RAPIDS place the fake raw input data csv files in tests/data/raw/. The fake participant files should be placed in tests/data/external/. The expected output files of RAPIDS after processing the input data should be placed in tests/data/processesd/.
The Snakemake rule(s) that are to be tested must be placed in the tests/Snakemake file. The current tests/Snakemake is a good example of how to define them. (At the time of writing this documentation the snakefile contains rules messages (SMS), calls and screen)
Edit the tests/settings/config.yaml. Add and/or remove the rules to be run for testing from the forcerun list.
Edit the tests/settings/testing_config.yaml with the necessary configuration settings for running the rules to be tested.
Add any additional testscripts in tests/scripts.
Uncomment or comment off lines in the testing shell script tests/scripts/run_tests.sh.
Run the testing shell script.
```
tests/scripts/run_tests.sh
```

The following is a snippet of the output you should see after running your test.

test_sensors_files_exist (test_sensor_features.TestSensorFeatures) ... ok
test_sensors_features_calculations (test_sensor_features.TestSensorFeatures) ... FAIL

======================================================================
FAIL: test_sensors_features_calculations (test_sensor_features.TestSensorFeatures)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The results above show that the first test test_sensors_files_exist passed while test_sensors_features_calculations failed. In addition you should get the traceback of the failure (not shown here). For more information on how to implement test scripts and use unittest please see Unittest Documentation

Testing of the RAPIDS sensors and features is a work-in-progress. Please see test-cases for a list of sensors and features that have testing currently available.

Currently the repository is set up to test a number of sensors out of the box by simply running the tests/scripts/run_tests.sh command once the RAPIDS python environment is active.
