The application appendfilename
by Karl Voit et al. (source)
allows the programmatic addition of user defined strings to one or
multiple already existing file names (e.g., add travel
to file
example.jpg
to yield example_travel.jpg
). This file
test_generator.org
provides the files for a programmatic test
of appendfilename
by means of code tangle from Emacs orgmode.
The tests presume a working installation of Python 3. After the activation of a virtual environment, one suitable approach is to resolve the dependencies by
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
with data by PyPI. Subsequently, the tests can be launched by
python -m pytest
where each period (.
) indicates a passing, and each E
a failing
test. An optional flag
-v
allows a more verbose output to the CLI-x
stops the sequence after the first failing test-s
occasionally provides information e.g., about the tests’ criteria
The tests are organized in sets default
, prepend
, and smart_prepend
.
This allows to selectively run only checks which are about the
results by appendfilename
in the default mode, prepend mode,
or smart-prepend mode alone, e.g.
python -m pytest -m "prepend"
The tests were revised to work equally well in Linux Debian 13/trixie (e.g., Python 3.12.6 and pytest 8.3.3) as well as Windows 10.
The edit of this .org
file in Emacs and the subsequent export
(tangle) of the files are affected by Emacs’ own parameters (e.g.,
the indentation in Python). It is recommended to access this file
with Emacs in a session started by emacs -q test_generator.org &
and to evaluate the following block by C-c C-c
; this explicitly
adjusts a few basic settings, but does not permanently overwrite an
already existing personalized Emacs configuration.
Most of these instructions are elements of Hendrik Suenkler’s annotated Emacs configuration (blog post) which are reused with his permission.
;; support these languages at all:

(python . t)))
;; enable syntax highlighting:

(setq org-edit-src-content-indentation 0)
(setq org-src-tab-acts-natively t)
(setq org-src-preserve-indentation t)
;; some comfort functions Suenkler mentions:
(delete-selection-mode 1)
(defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
(show-paren-mode 1)
(setq show-paren-style 'parenthesis)
(column-number-mode nil)
(setq org-src-fontify-natively t)
If the previous block was evaluated as .TRUE. (t
), test script and
pytest.ini
may be tangled right now by C-c C-v t
. After closing
this .org
file, deploy them as indicated.
File pytest.ini
lists markers in file test_appendfilename.py
to optionally constrain pytest
tests. Rather than to launch
a check on all tests defined, a call like e.g.,
python -m pytest -m "prepend"
only checks those of set prepend
. At present, tests are
grouped as
[pytest]
markers =
default: test appendfilename's default string insertion
prepend: test appendfilename's optional -p/--prepend flag
smart_prepend: test appendfilename's optional --smart-prepend flag
It is possible to run one, two, or all three groups in one run of pytest, for instance
pytest-3 test_appendfilename.py -m "default and prepend" -v

"""Test pad for functions by appendfilename with pytest.
Initially written for Python 3.9.9 and pytest 6.2.4 and recently update
for Python 3.12.6/pytest 8.3.3, this script provides a programmatic check
of functions offered by appendfilename. Deposit this script in the root
of the folder fetched and unzipped from PyPi or GitHub. Create a virtual
environment for Python, e.g. by
```shell
python -m venv sup
```
In the activated virtual environment, resolve the dependencies - either by
`pip install pyreadline3 pytest`, or `pip install -r requirements.txt` -
and launch the tests by
```shell
python -m pytest
```
As a reminder, the following optional pytest flags may be useful to obtain
a report tailored to your needs:
- `-x` exit after the first failing test (reported by `E` instead of `.`)
- `-v` provide a more verbose output
- `-s` equally report the test criterion, e.g. the queried file name
Equally keep in mind you can constrain pytest tests. Labels assigned are
- default: test appendfilename's default string insertion
- prepend: test appendfilename's optional -p/--prepend flag
- smart_prepend: test appendfilename's optional --smart-prepend flag
