Does mpremote have a test suite?

[TheChymera]

I see mpremote is its own package, and also distributed via pypi.
Does it not have a test suite? Or is it somewhere else?

[Josverl]

The short answer - no there is none yet - but I agree that it should be there.

In several changes I made I have created my own tests using pytest, but have not submitted them as part of the PR ,
perhaps we should pull these and others together and add these to a new folder ( tools\mpremote\tests or to tests\mpremote )
also - perhaps there should be 3 categories :

• pyboard.py
• pyboardextended.py
• mpremote module

For a test-suite: my preference is pytest as it requires much less boilerplate to create the tests, and it also works with any tests following the unittest format.

@jimmo : any preferences / suggestions on how to assist ?.

A few of my tests are here for now: others I may have lost after removing branches after a PR, but I may be able to dig them up or re-write.

Note that some tests may/will still require manual interaction, and therefore cannot be run in CI/CD,
So I included detect for the connected devices ( serial only at this moment) and for the port (not serialport) of the device as I was tackling an esp32/8266 issue.
These can be flagged with @pytest.mark.manual and skipped in CI/CD using pytest -m "not manual",
and run manually pytest -m manual to reproduce issues / validate fixes.
I use a timeout to continue if no action was confirmed (press spacebar) and then treat the test as skipped.
