Running the tests
To run the included tests, run the test file using the pytest module, replacing {exercise_name}:
$ python3 -m pytest {exercise_name}_test.py
Many IDE's and code editors have built-in support for using Pytest to run tests; check them out here.
For more information about running tests using pytest, checkout our Python testing guide.
Common pytest options
-v: enable verbose output.-x: stop running tests on first failure.--ff: run failures from previous test before running other test cases.
For other options, see python3 -m pytest -h.
