SmokeTesting

Smoke Testing Issue Creation

This directory contains a script and accompanying files to create and assign the Smoke testing issues, by operating system for a Mantid release.

Usage

• Create a Personal Access Token for GitHub if you do not already have one: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token

• In issue_template.xlsx make sure to assign testers to each main OS issue and update the version number of Mantid in the Additional Instructions column .

• Create and activate a conda environment for running the script. Use the .yml file in the parent directory RoadmapUpdate.

cd here/..
conda env create -f manual-tests.yml
conda activate manual-tests

• Remember to cd back into the SmokeTesting directory. Run the script with the appropriate arguments:

./create_smoke_issues_OS.py milestone spreadsheet --dry-run

.e.g

./create_smoke_issues_OS.py "Release 6.2" issue_template.xlsx --dry-run

• Check the output with the --dry-run flag and if it looks okay then rerun the same command but remove --dry-run.

Please note:

If you are using Windows it is recommended that you cd back into the SmokeTesting directory using the Command Prompt rather than any other CLI e.g. Git Bash. You will also need to prepend python to the command above and remove ./ from the create_smoke_issues_OS.py part of the command

.e.g

python create_smoke_issues_OS.py "Release 6.2" issue_template.xlsx --dry-run
