This test needs some work.

You shouldn't name things reserved words in python (list being the type of []). It technically works but is bad form, and will break things later down the road.

Also, you're missing a few:

"isoline", "1d", "taylordiagram", "3d_scalar", "3d_dual_scalar", "3d_vector"

Remove "textcombined" and "texttable"; these should be handled in a second loop, which will do secondary objects (marker, fillarea, colormap, line, textcombined, texttable, textorientation).

vcs.createtextcombined('EXAMPLE_tt', 'qa', 'EXAMPLE_tto', '7left')
tc="'EXAMPLE_tt','EXAMPLE_tto'"
code="s=vcs.get%s(%s)" % (obj, tc)
exec(code)

It's bad form to use exec for... well, anything. I know it's sprinkled throughout the codebase, but you shouldn't pick up bad habits from that 😉

Instead, you can use this:

s = vcs.creategraphicsmethod(obj, 'test_%s' % obj)

which will let you generate an arbitrary graphics method.

for obj in list:
s=''
tc=''
if obj == 'textcombined':

Let's extract the secondary graphics methods to a separate loop. Also drop the below logic.

code="s=vcs.get%s(%s)" % (obj, tc)
exec(code)
try:
s.script(obj+"_script.py")

You need to delete the files after you generate them. Also, this only builds the script; for this to be a real test, it needs to validate correctness. That means running the scripts and seeing if the generated object matches the original.

try:
s.script(obj+"_script.py")
except:
raise("Python script creation broke on "+obj+".script()")

This doesn't work, for a couple of reasons:

  • raise is a keyword, not a function. This is just a misleadingly worded version of raise "Python script creation broke on...".
  • You can only raise objects that derive from the BaseException class in python. This usually means something like: `raise ValueError("Python script creation broke on...").

Moreover, you should just print "Python script creation broke on..." and do sys.exit(1).

@chaosphere2112, thank you for the review! I'll get working on the revisions.

works, and that the object created by scriptrun() is identical
to the object on which script() was called.

@chaosphere2112 @doutriaux1, got the test written, but it looks like I don't have push access to the uvcdat repo any more. If anyone's here Tuesday I'll get admin help and push it then.
