Re: [yt-dev] A plea for failing tests

Here's something I forgot to mention yesterday. This trello card has a checklist of the analysis modules tests, so you can see the progress. https://trello.com/c/Ij4rFExx/41-add-testing-for-all-analysis-modules On Sat, Nov 22, 2014 at 3:20 PM, Britton Smith wrote:

This is something I've been working on for a while now. I will at least do: - the rest of halo analysis - cosmological observation (cosmology splices, light rays, light cones) - level sets - spectral integrator

Halo mass function has actually already been done, but currently resides in the answer testing framework and so should probably be moved.

Also, kudos to John Zuhone, who wrote tests for everything or almost everything that he put in analysis modules.

Hi Brian,

In IRC, you identified that you were having problems with the star particle spectrum generator, the absorption spectrum generator, and that a bunch of the rest of the code was "broken to users." We've been trying to balance bringing 2.x stuff to 3.0 and doing more development in 3.0, but it's a delicate balance. As I indicated in an email to yt-dev a few minutes ago, we're trying to aid in the conversion of 2.x analysis modules to 3.0 with more tests of the code. Anything you can contribute on this front would be very much appreciated!

This is a great idea, and I'd be happy to help out. Which analysis modules need tests?

all we're really doing is just "running the code" for these analysis modules. I'm going to try my hand at a few of them, and if others want to jump in on ones they are comfortable with, that would be awesome.

Hi all,

Cameron and I were chatting, and it looks like only 5/19 of the analysis modules have tests. I think it would be really valuable to have tests -- even failing ones -- so that we can start finishing the job of porting to yt-3.0 all of the analysis modules.

So what do you think -- should we start writing some tests designed to fail?
