Running the tests

If you push a commit to a branch in the Dallinger organization on GitHub, or open a pull request from your own fork, Dallinger’s automated code tests will be run on Travis.

Current build status:

The tests include:

• Making sure that a source distribution of the Python package can be created.
• Running flake8 to make sure Python code conforms to the PEP 8 style guide.
• Running the tests for the Python code using nose and making sure they pass in Python 2.7.
• Making sure that code coverage for the Python code is above the desired threshold.
• Making sure the docs build without error.

You can also run all these tests locally, simply by running:

tox

To run just the Python tests:

nosetests

To build documentation:

tox -e docs

To run flake8:
