Status of System Tests

[Samuel Lotz]

Hi Peter,

I want to run the system tests on a number of different architectures/CUDA installations to make sure we have stability.

Looking at the documentation (http://docs.openmm.org/latest/userguide ... stem-tests) I downloaded the tests but I have a few questions/concerns. Firstly I'm concerned that the tests are up to date and actually relevant anymore, i.e. the tests are written in Python 2...

This is a fairly high priority for me so I think I can put some time into updating them if needed.

You're right, those tests are out of date. We should update the documentation.

There are two main sets of tests it would be useful to run. First, you can run the C++ test cases with the command

Code: Select all

make test

or alternatively

Code: Select all

ctest

The latter has more options.

Second, after installing the Python module, you can run the Python tests by cd'ing to the build/python/tests folder and running pytest or nosetests.
