PyTorch-Lightning Tests

Most PL tests train a full MNIST model under various trainer conditions (ddp, ddp2+amp, etc...). This provides testing for most combinations of important settings. The tests expect the model to perform to a reasonable degree of testing accuracy to pass.

Running tests

The automatic travis tests ONLY run CPU-based tests. Although these cover most of the use cases, run on a 2-GPU machine to validate the full test-suite.

To run all tests do the following:

git clone https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning
cd pytorch-lightning

# install AMP support
bash tests/install_AMP.sh

# install dev deps
pip install -r tests/requirements.txt

# run tests
py.test -v

To test models that require GPU make sure to run the above command on a GPU machine. The GPU machine must have:

1. At least 2 GPUs.
2. NVIDIA-apex installed.
3. Horovod with NCCL support: HOROVOD_GPU_ALLREDUCE=NCCL HOROVOD_GPU_BROADCAST=NCCL pip install horovod

Running Coverage

Make sure to run coverage on a GPU machine with at least 2 GPUs and NVIDIA apex installed.

cd pytorch-lightning

# generate coverage (coverage is also installed as part of dev dependencies under tests/requirements.txt)
coverage run --source pytorch_lightning -m py.test pytorch_lightning tests examples -v --doctest-modules

# print coverage stats
coverage report -m
