Using pytest fixtures#

Retrieve constants during tests#

There is a fixture in conftest.py aptly named parameters making all the variables defined in fdv.py accessible for the tests. So, please, add additional parameter / constant by editing the fdv.py file.

Other#

You can check the conftest.py file to see what other fixtures are available.

Example#

from cellpy import prms

# using the ``parameters`` and the ``cellpy_data_instance`` fixtures.

def test_set_instrument_selecting_default(cellpy_data_instance, parameters):
    prms.Instruments.custom_instrument_definitions_file = parameters.custom_instrument_definitions_file
    cellpy_data_instance.set_instrument(instrument="custom")

Adding another config parameter#

  1. Edit prms.py

  2. Check / update the internal_settings.py file as well to ensure that copying / splitting cellpy objects behaves properly.

  3. Check / update the .cellpy_prms_default.conf file

The relevant files are located in the parameters folder:

cellpy/
    parameters/
        .cellpy_prms_default.conf
        prms.py
        internal_settings.py

Installing pyodbc on Mac without conda#

If you do not want to use conda, you might miss a couple of libraries.

The easiest fix is to install uniuxodbc using brew as explained in Stack Overflow #54302793.
