UnitTesterSG is for unit testing scientific/engineering outputs. It accommodates nested and even staggered array type structures, and mixed data types (like strings and integers etc). It also enables you to set numerical and absolute tolerances. Compatible with pytest.

unittestersg's Issues

UnitTesterSG in the example directory is not the same version as the UnitTesterSG in the main directory

Currently, there appear to be some pretty large algorithmic differences between the two uploaded versions of UnitTesterSG. I am not confident which version is correct or how to integrate them, but I am confident that at least one of them needs to be updated.

change to using sys.executable instead of "python" to avoid being system specific.

also change pytest to

sys.executable -m pytest

I found that the pytestdriver was failing with virtual environments if simply using pytest.

isNestedOrString improvement

This function should just check for a string prior to checking if the variable is iterable. And give a more informative return

Make Unit Test to check README.txt and MANUAL.txt match

The way the package is setup, the readme at the outside directory and the MANUAL in the inside directory are supposed to always be identical. Need a unit test to check this so that unit tests won't all pass when they are different.

UnitTesterSG should have option to not ask when strings don't match

By default, UnitTesterSG will always stop if there is a test where the objects converted to strings don't match.

The code should be changed to have an argument where the default is bypassing this, as long as the test has passed.

The way to do this is going to be to put a global variable and extra argument into the function that runs the tests. That way, the global variable can be checked before asking the questions.

The file runUnitTesterSG.py can then take an optional command line argument like "-s" or something like that. (for string)
