This is a silly implementation of a leader-board for pytest.
The idea is that a small webserver will accept test reports and make them available through HTTP endpoints. Testers can use a pytest plugin to send their test results to this server. An Elm web page will poll the server for results and show a graph. The point is that you could us this in e.g. a workshop on TDD where students start with a failing test suite and progressively pass more tests; the chart will show this progress.
To install the server and/or pytest plugin, use:
python setup.py install
You can then run the server with:
python -m testing_board.server
To use the pytest plugin, you'll need to pass some command-line arguments to pytest. At a minimum you need to provide a user name:
python -m pytest --testing_board:user=<your name> . . .
The score tracker keeps track of result on a per-name basis, so users should use the same name consistently. You can also specify a game ID (defaults to 0) as well as a host and port of the server with:
--testing_board:host
--testing_board:port
--testing_board:game
Ultimately there are many ways to deploy the Elm client, but a simple way is
using a developmnent server through node foreman. First, you need to be in the
elm/monitor directory. Then install the node dependencies:
npm install
Then you need to create a .env file. Generally do this by copying dot.env to
.env and editing it as necessary.
Once this is done, you can optionally test that everything builds:
npm run build
To run things from a dev server, use:
nf start
This will serve the app on port 3000. It will also monitor changes to the source and recompile it as needed.
(Note: if you don't have the nf command you probably need to install node
foreman with npm install -g foreman)
The Elm client will poll the server for scores.
