Add unit tests for the functions in utils.py

[marco-c]

👍 for pytest!

@marco-c Which testing framework should we use for this project? I suggest pytest, it's one of the most robust ones out there.

[skulltech]

I can start working on this once we've decided on the framework to use.

[skulltech]

Okay will start working on it ASAP. :D

[marco-c]

Since @skulltech already has some experience with the project, it's better if someone else who is just starting takes this on to gain some experience.

Can i take this up ?

[marco-c]

Sure, go ahead!

@marco-c I wanted to know if these are the following unit tests are okay ? And i'm only majorly checking for functions with some parameters

  def test_mkdir():
     direc_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) + "test"
     mkdir(direc_path)
     assert(os.path.exists(direc_path))

  def test_read_labels():
    labels = read_labels(file_name='labels.csv')
    assert('labels' in locals() or 'labels' in globals() )


  def test_write_labels():
    write_labels(label,file_name='test.csv')
    fname = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) + "\\test.csv"
    assert(os.path.exists(fname))

Hey @Shashi456, please write a PR, it's easier to review than a comment in an issue!
For creating directories and files, I suggest you put everything in a temporary directory (you can use the tempfile library) and clean everything at the end of the test.
