Set up comprehensive Python testing infrastructure

Summary

This PR establishes a complete testing infrastructure for the ChemDFM project using Poetry as the package manager and pytest as the testing framework. The setup provides a ready-to-use testing environment where developers can immediately start writing tests.

Changes Made

Package Management

  • Poetry Setup: Created pyproject.toml with Poetry configuration
  • Dependencies: Added core dependencies (torch, transformers) and test dependencies (pytest, pytest-cov, pytest-mock)
  • Project Structure: Configured project metadata and build settings

Testing Framework

  • pytest Configuration: Comprehensive test configuration with:
    • Custom test discovery patterns
    • Coverage reporting (HTML, XML, terminal)
    • 80% coverage threshold requirement
    • Strict options for robust testing
  • Custom Markers: Added unit, integration, and slow test markers for test categorization
  • Test Directory Structure: Created organized directory structure:
    tests/
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── conftest.py
    ├── unit/
    │   └── __init__.py
    ├── integration/
    │   └── __init__.py
    └── test_infrastructure.py
    

Test Fixtures and Utilities

  • Shared Fixtures: Comprehensive conftest.py with reusable fixtures:
    • temp_dir: Temporary directory for test files
    • mock_tokenizer, mock_model: Mock ML model components
    • sample_args: Mock configuration objects
    • capture_stdout, mock_input: Testing utilities
    • clean_environment: Environment isolation

Coverage Configuration

  • Source Tracking: Configured to track chemdfm package coverage
  • Exclusions: Proper exclusions for test files, migrations, virtual environments
  • Reporting: Multiple output formats (HTML, XML, terminal with missing lines)
  • Thresholds: 80% coverage requirement with failure on insufficient coverage

Development Environment

  • .gitignore: Comprehensive gitignore covering:
    • Testing artifacts (.pytest_cache/, htmlcov/, .coverage)
    • Python artifacts (__pycache__/, *.pyc, dist/)
    • Virtual environments and IDE files
    • Claude Code settings (.claude/*)
  • Lock Files: Poetry.lock is preserved for reproducible builds

Testing Instructions

Running Tests

# Install dependencies
poetry install

# Run all tests
poetry run pytest

# Run tests without coverage (faster)
poetry run pytest --no-cov

# Run specific test categories
poetry run pytest -m unit          # Unit tests only
poetry run pytest -m integration   # Integration tests only
poetry run pytest -m "not slow"    # Exclude slow tests

# Run with verbose output
poetry run pytest -v

# Generate coverage report
poetry run pytest --cov-report=html

Coverage Reports

  • Terminal: Shows missing lines during test runs
  • HTML: Browse htmlcov/index.html for detailed coverage analysis
  • XML: coverage.xml for CI/CD integration

Test Organization

  • Unit Tests: Place in tests/unit/ for isolated component testing
  • Integration Tests: Place in tests/integration/ for end-to-end testing
  • Fixtures: Add shared fixtures to tests/conftest.py

Validation

✅ All validation tests pass
✅ Poetry dependency installation successful
✅ pytest configuration working correctly
✅ Custom markers functional
✅ Coverage reporting configured
✅ Fixtures and utilities available

Next Steps

The testing infrastructure is now ready for development:

  1. Write Tests: Developers can immediately start writing unit and integration tests
  2. Add Source Code: As the codebase grows, coverage reporting will provide meaningful metrics
  3. CI/CD Integration: The XML coverage reports and exit codes are CI/CD ready
  4. Extend Fixtures: Add project-specific fixtures to conftest.py as needed

Dependencies Added

Production Dependencies

  • torch ^2.0.0: PyTorch for ML functionality
  • transformers ^4.30.0: Hugging Face transformers library

Test Dependencies

  • pytest ^7.4.0: Main testing framework
  • pytest-cov ^4.1.0: Coverage reporting
  • pytest-mock ^3.11.0: Advanced mocking capabilities

This setup follows Python testing best practices and provides a solid foundation for maintaining high code quality through comprehensive testing.

- Configure Poetry as package manager with pyproject.toml
- Add pytest, pytest-cov, and pytest-mock as test dependencies
- Create testing directory structure (tests/unit/, tests/integration/)
- Configure pytest with custom markers (unit, integration, slow)
- Set up coverage reporting with 80% threshold and HTML/XML output
- Add comprehensive shared fixtures in conftest.py
- Create validation tests to verify testing infrastructure
- Update .gitignore with testing and development entries
- Install dependencies and validate test execution
