Add Comprehensive Python Testing Infrastructure

Summary

This PR establishes a complete testing infrastructure for the Raspberry Pi RP2040 platform project, providing developers with immediate capability to write and run tests effectively.

Changes Made

Package Management

  • Set up Poetry as the package manager with pyproject.toml configuration
  • Configured package-mode = false since this is a platform package, not a library
  • Added PlatformIO dependency to support platform development

Testing Dependencies

  • pytest (v8.0.0+) - Main testing framework
  • pytest-cov (v4.0.0+) - Coverage reporting and analysis
  • pytest-mock (v3.12.0+) - Advanced mocking utilities
  • All added as development dependencies for clean separation

Testing Configuration

  • Comprehensive pytest configuration in pyproject.toml:

    • Test discovery patterns for flexible test organization
    • Coverage settings with 80% threshold requirement
    • HTML and XML coverage report generation
    • Custom test markers: unit, integration, slow
    • Strict configuration and warning filters
  • Coverage configuration with:

    • Source inclusion for platform.py and builder/ directory
    • Exclusion of test files, examples, and cache directories
    • Missing line reporting enabled

Directory Structure

  • Organized test directories:
    tests/
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── conftest.py           # Shared fixtures and configuration
    ├── unit/
    │   └── __init__.py
    ├── integration/
    │   └── __init__.py
    └── test_setup_validation.py
    

Shared Testing Utilities

  • Comprehensive fixtures in conftest.py:
    • temp_dir - Temporary directory management
    • mock_platform_variables - Platform configuration mocking
    • mock_board_config - Board configuration utilities
    • sample_board_manifest - Test data for board configurations
    • mock_debug_config - Debug configuration mocking
    • mock_file_system - File system structure mocking
    • clean_environment - Environment cleanup between tests

Development Environment

  • Updated .gitignore with testing-related entries:
    • Test cache and coverage files
    • Virtual environments and build artifacts
    • IDE files and OS-specific items
    • Claude settings directory

Validation

  • Setup validation tests to verify:
    • Python import capabilities
    • Testing framework installation
    • Coverage tools availability
    • Project structure integrity
    • Platform module importability
    • Test markers functionality

Running Tests

Basic test execution:

poetry run pytest

Run specific test categories:

poetry run pytest -m unit          # Unit tests only
poetry run pytest -m integration   # Integration tests only
poetry run pytest -m "not slow"    # Exclude slow tests

Coverage reporting:

poetry run pytest --cov            # With coverage
poetry run pytest --no-cov         # Without coverage

Test discovery and verbose output:

poetry run pytest -v               # Verbose output
poetry run pytest tests/unit/      # Specific directory

Installation

  1. Install dependencies:

    poetry install
  2. Verify setup:

    poetry run pytest tests/test_setup_validation.py -v

Notes

  • No lock files in .gitignore: poetry.lock should be committed for reproducible builds
  • PlatformIO integration: Tests can import and test platform modules with appropriate mocking
  • Flexible configuration: Easy to adjust coverage thresholds and test discovery patterns
  • Ready for CI/CD: Configuration supports automated testing pipelines

The testing infrastructure is now ready for immediate use. Developers can start writing unit and integration tests using the provided fixtures and configuration.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Set up complete testing framework with Poetry package manager, pytest configuration, and organized test directory structure. Includes coverage reporting, shared fixtures, and validation tests to ensure immediate readiness for development testing.
