How to run unit tests?

Show all headers | View raw

Dear Python experts,

in trying to update the python-lark package [0] to the most recent 
upstream version, an interesting issue regarding unit tests showed up 
[1]. Depending on how one runs unit tests they either fail or not. Tried 
options are:

1. PYTHONWARNINGS=d pythonX -m unittest discover -v tests
2. pythonX setup.py test
3. pythonX -m tests

Upstream uses option 3 in its CI testing [2] and did not see any issues 
with lark release 0.11.1. dh_auto_test seems to use option 2 by default 
(for the pybuild build system). For autopkgtest I have chosen to use 
option 1. The latter two options both fail for version 0.11.1. After 
applying a patch provided by upstream [3], also option 2 works but 
option 1 still fails. Upstream suggested to change the way the 
(autopkgtest) tests are run [4].

I am reluctant to do this without a better understanding of the 
differences between the above three options. Can anybody shed some light 
on the differences between them? Is there something like a general 
recommendation on what is the best way to run Python unit tests?

Peter
