Hi all,
Is there a recommended way to test functions that opens and
iterates over files? The unittest block seems more suited for
testing functions whose input and output can be defined in the
program itself. I'm wondering if there is a better way to test
functions that open files with specific formats.
Thanks before :).
The concern would be more on functions that delete files.
Yesterday I've made a programming error which resulted into the
deletion if the source files of another project. Fortunately the
other project was git-i-fyed and I just had to stash/pull to
recover my files.
Take care. Opening files with wrong args can overwrite, delete
the curent one.
Maybe make a sandbox environment (clean brand new account).
