Tests are run in a docker container against all supported Python versions. To run, make the following target:

$> make test

To run a single test:

$> make test='FunctionalTests.test_background' test_one

To build the docs, make sure you've runpoetry install to install the dev dependencies, then:

$> cd docs$> make html

This will generate the docs indocs/build/html. You can open theindex.html file in your browser to view the docs.

First run all of the tests:

$> SH_TESTS_RUNNING=1 coverage run --source=sh -m pytest

This will aggregate a.coverage. You may then visualize the report with:

$> coverage report

Or generate visual html files with:

$> coverage html

Which will create./htmlcov/index.html that you may open in a web browser.
