Testing about pyfvtool HOT 5 CLOSED

To do:

• fix existing tests such that pytest completes without failures
• check that pytest sees all currently available tests (explicit tests, but also implicit tests)
• add a mechanism for obtaining benchmarking test results from the example scripts
• add additional tests to increase coverage
• add testing instructions to documentation (installing pytest, pytest_notebook etc. - see pytest.ini)

pytest is now functional (#22 )

See comments in pytest.ini for indications on setting up testing environment.

It's a good idea @mhvwerts. Let me do some reading on pytest first. I did consider writing tests but got occupied with other stuff. Now that I'm switching to PyFVTool for some other projects, it must be easier to spend some time on it. I know that the current validation tests are working fine with unittest, but I'm not sure whether it is the most efficient way of managing tests. I'll do some research and experiments and come back to you.

I did notice the tests folder, but did not try to run unittest. Apparently pytest will run unittest tests 'out-of-the-box': https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.4.x/how-to/unittest.html

I did some initial experimentation with pytest-notebook alone, without integrating it with a pytest. It seems to work, but I will need to get back to it later.

To do:

• define a task list for finishing the set-up of automated testing
