So I finally thought it was time to start doing some continuous integration testing as well as testing with multiple versions of Python.
I had been looking at using things such as CircleCI or Travis-ci. But I finally decided I would try to use Github’s workflow actions.
I did some searching and found some guides. As part of that I evenutally came a cross this link on Github’s own docs.
Based on these examples. I started working on my own workflow. This is a very lightly modified version of one found on Github. So it’s not at all original.
name: Python package
on:
push:
branches: [ development ]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
matrix:
python-version: [3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8]
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up Python ${{ matrix.python-version }}
uses: actions/setup-python@v2
with:
python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
- name: Install dependencies
run: |
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
# Add modules required for testing.
pip install pytest pyscaffold==3.2.3 coverage pytest-cov
# Add modules required for functionality.
if [ -f requirements.txt ]; then pip install -r requirements.txt; fi
pip install -e .
- name: Test with pytest
run: |
pytest
Basically this will test the module running under several virtual machines running the four versions of python listed. Note that I am not running the code through a linter at this stage. You can see examples of that in the Github guide.
