Tests
=====

The project includes a set of Pytest unit tests that verify individual
plugins and methods. This section documents the unit tests and how to run
them locally.

The unit tests live under the directory `tests/unit/`.

Running tests
-------------

To run Pytest tests locally, you may need to set up a new virtual environment with the 
required dependencies. The steps are as follows:

.. code-block:: bash

    poetry config virtualenvs.create true
    poetry install
    poetry env activate    # if the environment does not get activated automatically, copy-paste the output of this command into the terminal

You can now run all tests in the repository with either:

.. code-block:: bash

    pytest

or: 

.. code-block:: bash

    make python-test
    
You can also run an individual test with:

.. code-block:: bash

   pytest -v tests/unit/plugins/test_adc_ad9695.py
