Configure Continuous Integration¶
Now we want to get deeper into the Continuous Intergration Setup.
At first we want to create a small dummy test. We can just take this one from the template package.
Creating tests¶
Please create the python package tests
next to the plain_magic
directory. The folder structure should look like this now.
some_directory/
plain_magic/
__init__.py
cli.py
number_magic.py
tests/
__init__.py
test_number_magic.py
setup.py
Install pytest
via pip
and try to execute the tests in the
home directory
pip install pytest
cd some_directory
pytest
Configure Tox¶
Now we are trying to automate the whole installation and testing proceduce via tox. Therefore we need to put another configuration file in the main folder.
To check if you succeeded please install tox
and execute it.
pip install tox
cd some_directory
tox
If all tests run through, you made it.
The folder structure shall look like this now:
some_directory/
plain_magic/
__init__.py
cli.py
number_magic.py
tests/
__init__.py
test_number_magic.py
setup.py
tox.ini
Configure Gitlab to run the Tests¶
Now we want the current local repository to be on the Gitlab server. Therefore please follow these instructions, but keep in mind to skip the Use Project Template. We already created our own little repository.
Now we want to tell Gitlab to run the tests for us, every time we push.
Therefore we need to add a file named .gitlab-ci.yml
according to the
instructions from the template documentation.
