The aiida-testing pytest plugin

A pytest plugin to simplify testing of AiiDA plugins. It implements fixtures to cache the execution of codes:

  • mock_code: Caches at the level of the code executable. Use this for testing calculation and parser plugins, because input file generation and output parsing are also being tested.

  • export_cache: Uses the AiiDA caching feature, in combination with an automatic database export / import. Use this to test high-level workflows.
