p
| Before using the new language or submitting a
| #[+a(gh("spaCy") + "/pulls") pull request] to spaCy, you should make sure
| it works as expected. This is especially important if you've added custom
| regular expressions for token matching or punctuation you don't want to
| be causing regressions.
+infobox("spaCy's test suite")
| spaCy uses the #[+a("https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/") pytest framework]
| for testing. For more details on how the tests are structured and best
| practices for writing your own tests, see our
| #[+a(gh("spaCy", "spacy/tests")) tests documentation].
+h(3, "testing-custom") Writing language-specific tests
p
| It's recommended to always add at least some tests with examples specific
| to the language. Language tests should be located in
| #[+src(gh("spaCy", "spacy/tests/lang")) #[code tests/lang]] in a
| directory named after the language ID. You'll also need to create a
| fixture for your tokenizer in the
| #[+src(gh("spaCy", "spacy/tests/conftest.py")) #[code conftest.py]].
| Always use the #[+api("util#get_lang_class") #[code get_lang_class()]]
| helper function within the fixture, instead of importing the class at the
| top of the file. This will load the language data only when it's needed.
| (Otherwise, #[em all data] would be loaded every time you run a test.)
+code.
@pytest.fixture
def en_tokenizer():
return util.get_lang_class('en').Defaults.create_tokenizer()
p
| When adding test cases, always
| #[+a(gh("spaCy", "spacy/tests#parameters")) #[code parametrize]] them
| this will make it easier for others to add more test cases without having
| to modify the test itself. You can also add parameter tuples, for example,
| a test sentence and its expected length, or a list of expected tokens.
| Here's an example of an English tokenizer test for combinations of
| punctuation and abbreviations:
+code("Example test").
