Code Standards

The Python code in the tests subdirectory ./tests must fulfill the following checks:

	Command	Explanation
1	fname8 tests	Spell check passes using the ./whitelist.txt dictionary file.
2	isort tests --check --diff	Python imports ordered and arranged according to isort's standards.
3	black tests --check --diff	Python source must be black-formatted.
4	flake8 tests	Python lint checked.
5	mypy tests	Objects that provide typehints pass type-checking via mypy.
6	fill	All tests tests must execute correctly.
7	mkdocs build --strict	Documentation generated without warnings.

While this seems like a long list, a correctly configured editor (see VS Code Setup) essentially assures:

1. Points 2 and 3 are automatically covered.
2. Points 1, 4 & 5 are mostly covered. Additionally, if you skip type hints, they won't be checked; we can help you add these in the PR.

These checks must pass in order for the execution-spec-tests Github Actions to pass upon pushing to remote.

Running the checks with tox

All these checks can be executed locally in a single command, tox, see Verifying Changes.
