Standard module functions

All IMP modules have a set of standard functions to help get information about the module and about files associated with the module.

std::string get_module_version ()
 
std::string get_module_name ()
 
std::string get_data_path (std::string file_name)
 Return the full path to one of this module's data files. More...
 
std::string get_example_path (std::string file_name)
 Return the full path to one of this module's example files. More...
 

Function Documentation

std::string IMP::test::get_data_path ( std::string  file_name)

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

To read the data file "data_library" that was placed in the data directory of this module, do something like

std::ifstream in(IMP::test::get_data_path("data_library"));

This will ensure that the code works both when IMP is installed or if used via the setup_environment.sh script.

Note
Each module has its own data directory, so be sure to use this function from the correct module.
std::string IMP::test::get_example_path ( std::string  file_name)

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

To read the example file "example_protein.pdb" that was placed in the examples directory of this module, do something like

std::ifstream in(IMP::test::get_example_path("example_protein.pdb"));

This will ensure that the code works both when IMP is installed or if used via the setup_environment.sh script.

Note
Each module has its own example directory, so be sure to use this function from the correct module.
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 1068 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 418 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 403 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 373 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.
