Test

Helper functions to quickly write tests in notebooks

Simple test functions

We can check that code raises an exception when that’s expected (test_fail).

To test for equality or inequality (with different types of things) we define a simple function test that compares two objects with a given cmp operator.

source

test_fail

 test_fail (f, msg='', contains='', args=None, kwargs=None)

Fails with msg unless f() raises an exception and (optionally) has contains in e.args

def _fail(): raise Exception("foobar")
test_fail(_fail, contains="foo")

def _fail(): raise Exception()
test_fail(_fail)

We can also pass args and kwargs to function to check if it fails with special inputs.

def _fail_args(a):
    if a == 5:
        raise ValueError
test_fail(_fail_args, args=(5,))
test_fail(_fail_args, kwargs=dict(a=5))

source

test

 test (a, b, cmp, cname=None)

assert that cmp(a,b); display inputs and cname or cmp.__name__ if it fails

test([1,2],[1,2], operator.eq)
test_fail(lambda: test([1,2],[1], operator.eq))
test([1,2],[1],   operator.ne)
test_fail(lambda: test([1,2],[1,2], operator.ne))

---

all_equal

 all_equal (a, b)

Compares whether a and b are the same length and have the same contents

test(['abc'], ['abc'], all_equal)
test_fail(lambda: test(['abc'],['cab'], all_equal))

---

equals

 equals (a, b)

Compares a and b for equality; supports sublists, tensors and arrays too

test([['abc'],['a']], [['abc'],['a']],  equals)
test([['abc'],['a'],'b', [['x']]], [['abc'],['a'],'b', [['x']]],  equals) # supports any depth and nested structure

---

source

nequals

 nequals (a, b)

Compares a and b for not equals

test(['abc'], ['ab' ], nequals)

test_eq test_ne, etc…

Just use test_eq/test_ne to test for ==/!=. test_eq_type checks things are equal and of the same type. We define them using test:
