Benefits
========

- Integration into continuous integration systems (e.g. Travis, AppVeyor, CircleCI, etc.) and pushing to CDash dashboard will combine all the results in one place
- The warnings and errors are enumerated in CDash (no more parsing stdout logs for errors)
- Easily create platform-independent testing
- No need to migrate build system to CMake -- just specify `pyctest.BUILD_COMMAND`

General Setup
=============

- Add PyCTest to conda environment: `conda install pyctest`
- Write a driver Python script, e.g. `pyctest-runner.py`, in top of the source code tree

## Example for Python project

The following is an example for a Python code with a compiled C extension that uses `nosetests` for unit-testing:

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python

import os, sys, platform
import pyctest.pyctest as pyctest
import pyctest.helpers as helpers

parser = helpers.ArgumentParser("ProjectName", source_dir=os.getcwd(),binary_dir=os.getcwd(), vcs_type="git")
args = parser.parse_args()

pyctest.BUILD_NAME = "{}".format(args.build)
pyctest.BUILD_COMMAND = "python setup.py build_ext --inplace"

test = pyctest.test()
test.SetName("unittest")
# insert the command to run the tests for project
test.SetCommand(["nosetests"])

pyctest.run()
```

## Example for autotools project

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python

import os, sys, platform
import multiprocessing as mp
import pyctest.pyctest as pyctest
import pyctest.helpers as helpers

parser = helpers.ArgumentParser("ProjectName", source_dir=os.getcwd(), binary_dir=os.getcwd(),
vcs_type="git")
parser.add_argument("-n", "--build", type=str, required=True, help="Build name for identification")
args = parser.parse_args()

# CONFIGURE_COMMAND can only run one command so if autogen is required, just execute it here
cmd = pyctest.command(["./autogen.sh"])
cmd.SetWorkingDirectory(pyctest.SOURCE_DIRECTORY)
cmd.SetErrorQuiet(False)
cmd.Execute()

pyctest.BUILD_NAME = "{}".format(args.build)
pyctest.CONFIGURE_COMMAND = "./configure"
pyctest.BUILD_COMMAND = "make -j{}".format(mp.cpu_count())

test = pyctest.test()
test.SetName("unittest")
# insert the command to run the tests for project
test.SetCommand(["./run-testing.sh"])

pyctest.run()
```

## Example for CMake project

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import sys
import platform
import multiprocessing as mp
import pyctest.pyctest as pyctest
import pyctest.helpers as helpers

binary_dir = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "build-ProjectName")
parser = helpers.ArgumentParser("ProjectName", os.getcwd(), binary_dir)
parser.add_argument("-n", "--build", type=str, required=True, help="Build name for identification")
args = parser.parse_args()

pyctest.BUILD_NAME = "{}".format(args.build)
pyctest.UPDATE_COMMAND = "git"
pyctest.CONFIGURE_COMMAND = "cmake {}".format(pyctest.SOURCE_DIRECTORY)
pyctest.BUILD_COMMAND = "cmake --build {} --target all -- -j{}".format(pyctest.BINARY_DIRECTORY, mp.cpu_count())

test = pyctest.test()
test.SetName("unittest")
# insert the command to run the tests for project
test.SetCommand(["./run-testing.sh"])

pyctest.run()
```

### Python Modules

- `import pyctest` -- global package
- `import pyctest.pyctest` -- CTest module
- `import pyctest.pycmake` -- CMake module
- `import pyctest.helpers` -- Helpers module
- includes command line arguments (`argparse`) for PyCTest

### Direct Access to CMake/CTest/CPack Executables

- `python -m pyctest.cmake ` == `cmake `
- `python -m pyctest.ctest ` == `ctest `
- `python -m pyctest.cpack ` == `cpack `

Following Python code:
```python
from pyctest.ctest import CTest
from pyctest.cmake import CMake
from pyctest.cpack import CPack

CMake({"CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE":"Release"}, os.getcwd(), "-G", "Ninja")
CTest("--build-and-test", os.getcwd(), "-VV")
CPack("-G", "TGZ")
```

is equivalent to the following shell commands:

```shell
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ${PWD} -G Ninja
$ ctest --build-and-test ${PWD} -VV
$ cpack -G TGZ
```

## Standard Configuration Variables

- `pyctest.PROJECT_NAME`
- `pyctest.SOURCE_DIRECTORY`
- `pyctest.BINARY_DIRECTORY`
- `pyctest.SITE`
- `pyctest.BUILD_NAME`
- `pyctest.TRIGGER`
- `pyctest.CHECKOUT_COMMAND`
- `pyctest.BUILD_COMMAND`
- `pyctest.MODEL`
- `pyctest.CUSTOM_COVERAGE_EXCLUDE`
- `pyctest.CUSTOM_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_ERRORS`
- `pyctest.CUSTOM_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_WARNINGS`
- `pyctest.CUSTOM_MAXIMUM_PASSED_TEST_OUTPUT_SIZE`

### Setting Arbitrary Variables

```python
pyctest.set("CTEST_TOKEN_FILE", "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/.ctest-token")
```

### Generating a Test

```python
test = pyctest.test()
test.SetName("nosetests")
test.SetCommand(["nosetests", "test", "--cover-xml", "--cover-xml-file=coverage.xml"])
# set directory to run test
test.SetProperty("WORKING_DIRECTORY", pyctest.BINARY_DIRECTORY)
test.SetProperty("RUN_SERIAL", "ON")
test.SetProperty("ENVIRONMENT", "OMP_NUM_THREADS=1")
```

### Examples

- [Basic example](https://github.com/jrmadsen/pyctest/blob/master/examples/Basic/README.md)
- [Advanced example](https://github.com/jrmadsen/pyctest/blob/master/examples/TomoPy/README.md)
- includes submission to CDash dashboard

### CDash Integration Example

Results from running the TomoPy example can be found at the [TomoPy CDash Testing Dashboard @ NERSC](https://cdash.nersc.gov/index.php?project=TomoPy)

- Python code with C extensions without CMake build system
- The build logs from "python setup.py install" are registered in the "Build" section
- The `nosetests test` command + other are wrapped into CTests

## Testing Example

PyCTest can be used to simple execute tests and submit to a dashboard without any configuration, build, etc. steps

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import sys
import shutil
import argparse
import platform
import traceback

import pyctest.pyctest as pyctest
import pyctest.pycmake as pycmake
import pyctest.helpers as helpers

if __name__ == "__main__":

directory = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "pycm-test")

# these are required
pyctest.PROJECT_NAME = "PyCTest"
pyctest.SOURCE_DIRECTORY = directory
pyctest.BINARY_DIRECTORY = directory

args = helpers.ArgumentParser(pyctest.PROJECT_NAME,
pyctest.SOURCE_DIRECTORY,
pyctest.BINARY_DIRECTORY).parse_args()

# set explicitly
pyctest.MODEL = "Continuous"
pyctest.SITE = platform.node()

# create a Test object
test = pyctest.test()
test.SetName("list_directory")
test.SetCommand(["ls", directory])
test.SetProperty("WORKING_DIRECTORY", os.getcwd())

# create a second test
# previous test is already stored by PyCTest
test = pyctest.test()
test.SetName("hostname")
test.SetCommand(["hostname"])
test.SetProperty("TIMEOUT", "10")

# generate the CTestConfig.cmake and CTestCustom.cmake
pyctest.generate_config(directory)

# generate the CTestTestfile.cmake file
pyctest.generate_test_file(directory)

# run CTest -- e.g. ctest -VV ${PWD}/pycm-test
pyctest.run(pyctest.ARGUMENTS, directory)
```
