Detailed Description

Support for running tests of IMP functionality.

Methods and classes for testing the IMP kernel and modules.

Most of this is centered around the Python unittest module.

Function Documentation

def IMP.test.get_data_path (   fname)

Return the full path to one of this module's data files.

Note
This function is only available in Python.

Definition at line 1050 of file test/__init__.py.

def IMP.test.get_example_path (   fname)

Return the full path to one of this module's example files.

Note
This function is only available in Python.

Definition at line 1055 of file test/__init__.py.

def IMP.test.get_module_name ( )

Return the fully-qualified name of this module.

Note
This function is only available in Python.

Definition at line 1045 of file test/__init__.py.

def IMP.test.get_module_version ( )

Return the version of this module, as a string.

Note
This function is only available in Python.

Definition at line 1040 of file test/__init__.py.

def IMP.test.main (   args,
  keys 
)

Run a set of tests; similar to unittest.main().

Obviates the need to separately import the 'unittest' module, and ensures that main() is from the same unittest module that the IMP.test testcases are. In addition, turns on some extra checks (e.g. trying to use deprecated code will cause an exception to be thrown).

Note
This function is only available in Python.

Definition at line 827 of file test/__init__.py.

def IMP.test.numerical_derivative (   func,
  val,
  step 
)

Calculate the derivative of the single-value function func at point val.

The derivative is calculated using simple finite differences starting with the given step; Richardson extrapolation is then used to extrapolate the derivative at step=0.

Note
This function is only available in Python.

Definition at line 93 of file test/__init__.py.

def IMP.test.temporary_directory (   dir = None)

Simple context manager to make a temporary directory.

The temporary directory has the same lifetime as the context manager (i.e. it is created at the start of the 'with' block, and deleted at the end of the block).

Parameters
dirIf given, the temporary directory is made as a subdirectory of that directory, rather than in the default temporary directory location (e.g. /tmp)
Returns
the full path to the temporary directory.
Note
This function is only available in Python.

Definition at line 78 of file test/__init__.py.

def IMP.test.temporary_working_directory ( )

Simple context manager to run in a temporary directory.

While the context manager is active (within the 'with' block) the current working directory is set to a temporary directory. When the context manager exists, the working directory is reset and the temporary directory deleted.

Note
This function is only available in Python.

Definition at line 64 of file test/__init__.py.

def IMP.test.xyz_numerical_derivatives (   sf,
  xyz,
  step 
)

Calculate the x,y and z derivatives of the scoring function sf on the xyz particle.

The derivatives are approximated numerically using the numerical_derivatives() function.

Note
This function is only available in Python.

Definition at line 129 of file test/__init__.py.
