Testing and requirements

Requirements

Because TaskFlow has many optional (pluggable) parts like persistence backends and engines, we decided to split our requirements into two parts:

• things that are absolutely required by TaskFlow (you can't use TaskFlow without them) are put to requirements.txt;
• things that are required by some optional part of TaskFlow (you can use TaskFlow without them) are put to optional-requirements.txt; if you want to use the feature in question, you should add that requirements to your project or environment;
• as usual, things that required only for running tests are put to test-requirements.txt.

Tox.ini

Our tox.ini describes several test environments that allow to test TaskFlow with different python versions and sets of requirements installed.

To generate tox.ini, use the toxgen.py script by first installing toxgen and then provide that script as input the tox-tmpl.ini file to generate the final tox.ini file.

For example:

$ toxgen.py -i tox-tmpl.ini -o tox.ini
