- extend `pytest` with an option to run only the minimum number
of (unit) test cases to just keep the coverage at 100%
- rationale:
+ many of the unit test cases partly overlap with
respect to the lines of source code executed
+ also, integration tests, by definition, do not
contribute to a higher test coverage
- implementation: mark "redundant" test cases as one of:
+ `pytest.mark.integration_test`
=> code usage from the perspective of the end user
+ `pytest.mark.overlapping_test`
=> tests not contributing to the 100% coverage
+ `pytest.mark.sanity_test`
=> tests providing confidence in the test data
- add `tests.conftest` module
=> programatically convert the above markers into
`@pytest.mark.no_cover` and collect the non-"redundant" tests
- add nox session "test-fast" to run only the minimum
number of (unit) test while holding coverage at 100%
- refactor some test modules
+ wrap some test cases in a class
+ move sanity tests to the end of the files
- add `lalib.fields.base.Field`, a blueprint for all concrete fields,
providing a unified interface to be used outside of the
`lalib.fields` sub-package
- implement `lalib.fields.complex_.ComplexField`, or `C` for short,
the field over the complex numbers (modeled as `complex` numbers)
- implement `lalib.fields.galois.GaloisField2`, or `GF2` for short,
the (finite) field over the two elements `one` and `zero`
+ adapt `lalib.elements.galois.GF2Element.__eq__()` to return
`NotImplemented` instead of `False` for non-castable `other`s
=> this fixes a minor issue with `pytest.approx()`
- implement `lalib.fields.rational.RationalField`, or `Q` for short,
the field over the rational numbers (modeled as `fractions.Fraction`s)
- implement `lalib.fields.real.RealField`, or `R` for short,
the field over the real numbers (modeled as `float`s)
- organize top-level imports for `lalib.fields`,
making `Q`, `R`, `C`, and `GF2` importable with
`from lalib.fields import *`
- provide extensive unit and integration tests for the new objects:
+ test generic and common behavior in `tests.fields.test_base`
+ test specific behavior is other modules
+ test the well-known math axioms for all fields (integration tests)
+ test the new objects' docstrings
+ add "pytest-repeat" to run randomized tests many times
- add `GF2` class in the `lalib.elements` sub-package
implementing a typical Galois field with two elements
- the singleton objects `one` and `zero` are the concrete
instances of the `GF2` type for the end users
- besides the typical Galois arithmetic, `one` and `zero`
behave like the built-in numbers `1` and `0`
and implement the `numbers.Rational` interface
- add exhaustive docstrings with usage examples
- add (unit) test cases with 100% coverage
Whereas nox-poetry is a nice project,
it is not (yet) widely supported.
The `install_pinned()` function inside the "noxfile.py"
achieves most of its functionality.
Also, there is a chance poetry will be replaced in this project.
So, we no longer drag nox-poetry along.
- add pre-commit hooks:
+ run `nox -s lint` on staged *.py files
+ run common pre-commit hooks for validations that could not be
achieved with tools in the develop environment so easily
- add pre-merge hook:
+ run `nox -s _pre-commit-test-hook` before merges
* ignores the paths to staged files
passed in by the pre-commit framework
* runs all test cases instead
- use pip-audit to check the project's dependencies for known
security vulnerabilities and exploits
- add nox sessions "audit" and "audit-updates" to run
the above checks against the pinned and unpinned dependencies
- the nox session "test-coverage" triggers further nox sessions
that run the test suite for all supported Python versions
- the nox session "_test-coverage-run" runs the test suite for
a particular Python version using the coverage tool
- the nox session "_test-coverage-report" combines the individual
coverage reports
- use xdoctest to validate code snippets in docstrings
- make xdoctest part of the nox session "test" via
the new `test_docstrings()` test case
- add nox session "test-docstrings" for convenience;
also, `xdoctest.doctest_module()` does not discover
docstrings that are imported at the root of the package
=> each new module with docstrings must be added to
`test_docstrings()` by hand, which is likely forgotten
=> the nox session "test-docstrings" should run on CI
- `lalib.__version__` is dynamically assigned
- the format is "x.y.z[.dev0|aN|bN|rcN|.postM]"
where x, y, z, M, and N are non-negative integers
+ x, y, and z model the "major", "minor", and "patch"
parts of semantic versioning
(See: https://semver.org/#semantic-versioning-200)
+ M is a single digit and N either 1 or 2
=> This complies with (a strict subset of) PEP440
- add unit tests for the `__version__` identifier
- use pytest as the test suite and
measure test coverage with coverage.py
- add package for the test suite under tests/
- add nox session "test" to run the test suite
for all supported Python versions
- use flake8 to lint pytest for consistent style
- use flake8 as the main linting tool with the following plug-ins:
+ flake8-annotations
+ flake8-bandit
+ flake8-black
+ flake8-broken-line
+ flake8-bugbear
+ flake8-commas
+ flake8-comprehensions
+ flake8-debugger
+ flake8-docstrings
+ flake8-eradicate
+ flake8-isort
+ flake8-quotes
+ flake8-string-format
+ flake8-pyproject
+ pep8-naming
+ pydoclint
- use mypy for static type checking
- use ruff for linting for future compatibility
- add nox session "lint" to run these tools
- add `ruff check --fix ...` in nox session "format"
- lint all source files => no errors found
