These tests are designed to only test the python interface to the library and are not designed to test the library itself which is covered by the main cryptoauthlib tests

The best way to run the test suite is to use tox which can be easily installed with pip:

$ pip install tox

From the python folder:

:~/cryptoauthlib/python $ tox

It is possible to directly run tests but requires more setup

1. Install pytest

$ pip install pytest

1. Modify the PYTHONPATH environment variable

Windows:

cryptoauthlib/python> set PYTHONPATH=<path_to>/cryptoauthlib/python

Linux:

$ export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:<path_to>/cryptoauthlib/python

1. Run the tests

$ pytest -vv

There are additional options that can be invoked with the tests that define what tests will be run

1. --with-lib will attempt to run tests against the compiled c library. These tests are good for detecting possible platform incompabilities between the C compiler and the expectations of python

2. --with-device will attempt to invoke some tests with a real attached device These tests are restricted to only the minimum required to verify the python to library connectivity and are only meant to detect situations can can not be determined from the library tests alone.
