Testing

fiscalyear comes with a full test-suite called test_fiscalyear. To run the test-suite, you will need to install the following packages:

Running tests

Once pytest is installed, simply cd to the root directory of fiscalyear and run the pytest command.

$ git clone https://github.com/adamjstewart/fiscalyear.git
$ cd fiscalyear
$ pytest

pytest provides automatic test detection that locates the test_fiscalyear.py file and runs tests that begin with test_*.

Continuous Integration (CI)

In order to prevent bugs from being introduced into the code, fiscalyear uses GitHub Actions for continuous integration. After every commit or pull request, GitHub Actions automatically runs the test-suite across all supported versions of Python 2 and 3. This has the added benefit of preventing incompatibilities between different Python versions.
