Information About the Test Suite

Location

The tests are located in modules/tests/roles/

The template specific files are located in modules/tests/roles/<template_name>

Files

• The file modules/tests/roles/test_roles.py tests permissions against role matrix file.
• The data for the roles tests is created by modules/tests/roles/create_role_test_data.py
  • It depends on the following for creating the data -
    • org_organisation.xml - A generic file for all templates. It is used for importing the organisation.
    • org_organisation_branch.xml - A generic file for all templates. It is used for importing the organisation branches, if the template uses branches.
    • <template_name>/data.xml - A file template for the data which the user's roles will be tested against.
    • <template_name>/users_template.csv - A file template for the users and roles which will be tested.
    • <template_name>/test_users.csv - An optional file which is used to create users - handy for debugging.
• The user permissions are defined in <template_name>/Org-A_permission_matrix.csv. The permissions declared in this file are tested upon.
