Detailed Description

Perform all or a selection of the standard functional SKIRT tests.

This script performs all or a selection of the standard functional SKIRT test cases. The test case definitions are expected to reside in the SKIRT/Functional9 directory hierarchy. See the pts.test.functional module for more information.

The script takes a single positional string argument, which can be one of the following:

• "." (a single period): perform all test cases in the standard suite.
• "testcase" (the name of a test case directory): perform all test cases with that name.
• "subsuite" (the name of an intermediate directory in the hierarchy): perform the test cases in all sub-suites with that name.
• "parentsubsuite/testcase" or "parentsubsuite/subsuite": perform the indicated test case(s) or sub-suite(s) that reside immediately inside the indicated parent sub-suite; this can disambiguate items with the same name.

In addition, the script accepts two optional arguments:

• skirt: the path to the skirt executable. If specified, the path is interpreted as described for the pts.utils.absPath() function. If omitted, the default path is used as described for the constructor of the pts.simulation.skirt.Skirt class.
• visual: a string describing the visualizations to be created for the output of each test case, if any. If specified, the string is a semicolon-separated list of PTS visualization commands as they would be entered at the command line, omitting the simulation output path argument (which will be inserted automatically).
