Testing

No concrete testing framework has been developed for testing methods used in Convo but there are simple tests that were written while developing Convo in the tests directory

You can create a new test file in the directory tests. In the top of the file, add

import sys
from os import path
sys.path.append(path.dirname(path.dirname(path.abspath(__file__))))

if you encounter any import errors when importing classes from the parent directory server or a sibling directory (e.g. models).

To import everything from goals and models, you can use

from goals import *
from models import *

To test Convo's backend, you can create a Client and then use its dialog manager and call the handle_message like so

client = Client("test")
dm = client.dm
response = dm.handle_message("hello")
print(response)

You can quickly enumerate through a list of messages to test an entire converstation

messages = ["create a procedure", "test", "say hello world", "done", "run test"]
client = Client("test")
dm = client.dm

for i, message in enumerate(messages):
    response = dm.handle_message(message)
    print(response)

For logging and debugging, you can use print statements or logger.debug (like logger.debug("log message")), if you do use the latter, make sure to import logging and set the config

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
