nosetests for picosdk-python-wrappers

The readme says to run

nosetests

in the root of the repo. But I don't see this file there. Is it important to run the unit tests, I wonder?

Code: Select all

To run the unit tests, you will need to install nose (e.g. pip install nose.) Then, run nosetests in the root of the repo.

This is referring to the additional package "nose" which you need to install, it is not part of the picosdk-python-wrappers

I realize nose is a python module for testing. And I have it. This doesn't answer my question.

The person who wrote this is no longer at Pico but I believe it means to run the tests at the root level of the repository located in the test folder https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-pyt ... aster/test which are nosetests, and not run a script called nosetests.

Hi,

I am working to get a picoscope 4262 set up, and have just started working with the python wrappers. You've probably figured it out by now, but in case you haven't, I believe the intention of the nosetests is to go into the tests directory and run

nosetests test_xxx.py

where xxx can be any of the various tests in that directory. That at least gives meaningul results. Though I think sometimes errors being thrown are the 'passing' behaviour of the code.

Cheers
