Automatic tests and utilities

Installation

Python 2.7 should cover you. Virtualenv recommended.

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Execution

Currently, we don't have direct access to the metadata end-to-end. This only affects the generation of tests. As a stopgap, we have to define a connection to the test Observatory account.

Run automated tests against a hostname:

(venv) OBS_HOSTNAME=<hostname.cartodb.com> OBS_API_KEY=<api_key> OBS_META_HOSTNAME=observatory.cartodb.com OBS_META_API_KEY= nosetests scripts/autotest.py
