= Testing Bloodhound Search plugin =

== Overview ==

This plugin makes use of `setuptools` `test` command. Therefore all 
test-support libraries needed to run the test suite should be installed 
automatically (... considering the fact that they are listed in 
`tests_require` and `install_requires` entries in `setup.ini` script ;).
Recommended is the use of virtual Python environments. 

== How to run tests ==

All tests are written in files under `bhrelations/tests` folder 
(sub-modules of `bhrelations.tests`) having names starting with prefix 
`test_`. The following command should be enough so as to run tests 
in one such module :

{{{
#!sh

$ /path/to/python setup.py test -m bhrelations.tests.test_<something>

}}}

... where `<something>` should be replaced to match the name of an existing 
file containing tests e.g.

{{{
#!sh

$ /path/to/python setup.py test -m bhrelations.tests.test_report

}}}

== Continuous integration ==

*TODO*

== How do we run tests ==

At present members of the team run tests on their computers as mentioned below :

  - ''Python'' '''2.6''' virtual environment , Trac '''1.0.1''' .

Besides there's a whole continuous integration infrastructure behind the 
project (but that's TBD so far, should be documented later so that's in the 
*TODO* list).
