How can I use PySys to test an Apama correlator

Question

I know that I can use PySys to test my application, I've written a run.py file with my execute and verify but when I run it nothing seems to happen. I tried adding an init function and printing from there just to see if my test class was being instantiated but I got no output. Am I missing something?

I use pyhton run.py to execute it.

Answer 1

The problem is in the way you're trying to run the test. The run.py file just defines the execute and verify actions; it never calls them. What you need to do is:

1. Navigate to your test directory in an Apama command prompt
2. Execute pysys run

You can also execute this from a higher directory, and it will execute all tests in that tree (it's recursive by default). Use pysys -h for help.

Answer 2

You can also find examples of pysys tests in the Apama\samples folder. The readme file in the folder gives more details on how to run pysys tests.
