We use pytest to execute the tests. For testing of plot generation, we use the mpl plugin for pytest. A range of different plots are created, and compared against the baseline images in the baseline_images subfolder.
If you have developed a new feature for the package and it is related to modifying original plots or generating new plots, you will need to generate new baseline images. To do so, run
pip install -e '.[dev]'
pytest --mpl-generate-path=nbs/tests/mpl_image_tests/baseline_imagesTo run the tests, go to the root of this repo directory and run
pytest dabest
