Hi all, So I'm currently trying to write some tests for a subtle issue involving resolving imports and cimports. (I think I emailed about this a while back.) The particular issue isn't so important right this minute -- the only thing that matters is that to test it, I need a test with a few layers of directories, with __init__.py files sprinkled in several places, and potentially *not* at the root. Unfortunately, this doesn't work so well with the current testing setup -- at least, as I understand, there's no way to tell it "when you try to run this test, also copy along this particular chunk of the current directory." So there are two obvious choices:
1) Give a test a way of specifying what other files should come along as part of it. 2) Create a directory called nested (or something else) somewhere in the tests/ tree (maybe one for each of the current subdirectories?), and add code to runtests.py to handle that whole tree at once. Each of these has its ups and downs -- but I'd love it if someone told me that the testing code already did what I'm looking for, and I just didn't know it. ;) I think (1) feels like the "classier" solution, but (2) would make it easy for someone to *add* a nested test without having to create a whole bunch of files/directories themselves. That said, we'd have to be careful that no one accidentally broke a test by modifying it -- tests really should be nearly immutable. Any thoughts? -cc _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list Cython-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
