Automated tests

Pytest

The tests done at a request/unit level are run via pytest-django.

To run locally, start the Devcontainer and run:

tests/pytest/run.sh

The helper script:

1. Runs the tests with pytest
2. Calculates test coverage with coverage
3. Generates a coverage report in HTML in the app’s static/ directory

The report can be viewed by launching the app and navigating to http://localhost:$DJANGO_LOCAL_PORT/static/coverage/index.html

The report files include a local .gitignore file, so the entire directory is hidden from source control.
