Running the tests

AiiDA-KKR comes with a set of tests for its functionality. The tests are run through pytest and they are defined in tests/ and the sub directories therein.

The following will discover and run the unit test:

# install aiida-kkr with testing extra
pip install -e .[testing]
# go to path where tests are defined
cd tests
# create fake executables
mkdir -p jukkr; cd jukkr && export PATH="$PWD:$PATH"; touch kkr.x; touch voronoi.exe; touch kkrflex.exe; chmod +x kkr.x voronoi.exe kkrflex.exe
# run tests (-h shows help)
./run_all.sh -h

The coverage of the tests is controlled via environment variables (see -h option of run_all.sh), e.g.:

RUN_VORONOI=1 RUN_KKRHOST=1 ./run_all.sh

If you use aiida-core >= v2.0 you should first migrate the input data:

python migrate_exports.py

In order to recreate test export files you need real executables instead of the fakes we create above:

cd tests
# this will download the code and compile voronoi, kkrhost and kkrimp
./jukkr_installation.sh -f
# make sure the executables are found in the PATH
cd jukkr && export PATH="$PWD:$PATH" && cd ..

If your changes require updates to reference data (checked via the pytest-regressions package) you should add the –force-regen option to the pytest run:

pytest --force-regen workflows/test_bs_wc.py

Automatic coding style checks

Enable enable automatic checks of code sanity and coding style:

pip install -e .[pre-commit]
pre-commit install

After this, the yapf formatter, the pylint linter and the pylint code analyzer will run at every commit.

To run the pre-commit hooks without making a commit use:

pre-commit run --all-files

If you ever need to skip these pre-commit hooks, just use:

git commit -n

Continuous integration

aiida-kkr comes with a .github folder that contains continuous integration tests on every commit using GitHub Actions. It will:

  1. run all tests for the django ORM

  2. build the documentation

  3. check coding style and version number (not required to pass by default)

Building the documentation

  1. Install the docs extra:

    pip install -e .[docs]
    
  2. Edit the individual documentation pages:

    docs/source/index.rst
    docs/source/developer_guide/index.rst
    docs/source/user_guide/index.rst
    ...
    
  3. Use Sphinx to generate the html documentation:

    cd docs
    make html
    

Check the result by opening build/html/index.html in your browser.

PyPI release

With every tag that is pushed a continuous deployment github action runs that uploads the code to pypi. Note that this will only be done if the tests (see Continuous integration) pass.

The latest release is therefore able to be installed via:

pip install aiida-kkr

Note

When updating the plugin package to a new version, remember to update the version number both in setup.json and aiida_kkr/__init__.py.
