How to call a unitests in plugins

[SergeoLacruz]

Hi,
I can easily run the test on a buildin plugin e.g.

invoke dev.test -r plugin.builtin.barcodes.test_inventree_barcode.TestInvenTreeBarcod

This is just plugin.filename.classname. My self created plugin is located in

michael@Tree:~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/inventree_supplier_sync$ ll

I created test_supplier_sync.py and run a

invoke dev.test -r plugin.inventree_supplier_sync.test_supplier_sync.TestSyncPlugin

I tried various variations but always end up in:

ERROR: inventree_supplier_sync (unittest.loader._FailedTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError: Failed to import test module: inventree_supplier_sync
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any help welcome. Thanks

You might be able to run it without the plugin. prefix.

@wolflu05 you have setup full unit testing on your plugins, right? Perhaps this should be added to the docs

[wolflu05]

Yes, I have a plugin with full integration testing using Github actions and the inventree docker image as base image using a matrix build to test against stable and latest version.

[SchrodingersGat]

@wolflu05 would you be able to distill some of this into some documentation on how to write unit tests for a plugin?

[wolflu05]

Yes, I would be able to help with that, but my time is currently quite limited. I can try to work on it sometime, but it would be great if someone else could take the lead on writing the documentation. I’d be happy to assist with any questions or provide guidance as needed and review a PR!

Sometimes things are simple :-)
Thanks for the help.
