This PR introduces a new form of GUI System Test which creates an instance of RasCal2, performs a sequence of events (clicks, typing, etc) and tests the validity of the output. This is more useful than isolated unit tests as it tests theinteraction between different parts of the program and more closely resembles a realistic user workflow.
System tests inherit the
GuiSystemBaseclass, which handles thesetUpand tearDownof theself.main_window` instance, simplifying how the tests are written.Unit tests and System tests are differentiated in pytest. We can run only unit tests via:
pytest testsorpytest tests --run-unit-testsSystem tests are run with the window hidden by default and can be ran via:
pytests tests --run-system-teststo show the window while tests are running:
pytests tests --run-system-tests-showIf we want to include screenshot/eyes tests in the future, a flag can be created for them to differentiate screenshot tests from unit and system tests.
