Running Unit tests

IDEAS Unit tests

This topic explains how to run the IDEAS unit tests. The instructions work on Linux and on Windows.

Download BuildingsPy:

First you need to download BuildingsPy from https://github.com/lbl-srg/BuildingsPy:

git clone [email protected]:lbl-srg/BuildingsPy.git

Install BuildingsPy:

This package needs to be built and installed. Open terminal in the just downloaded BuildingsPy directory and execute in Linux:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

In Windows, make sure you have the administrator rights and execute:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

BuildingsPy is now installed.

Run Unit test:

Open the file IDEAS/IDEAS/RunUnitTests.py and make sure you use the desired number of processors by adapting tester.setNumberOfThreads(4). By default the file uses 4 processors. The unit tests can be run by opening terminal in the IDEAS root directory and executing the following commands:

cd IDEAS/IDEAS
python RunUnitTests.py
