Tests

ISO Scalpel ships with a focused test suite built on pytest.

Running

From the project root:

pip install -e '.[dev]'                 # pytest + ruff
python -m pytest                        # run everything
python -m pytest tests/test_deps.py -v  # one module, verbose
python -m pytest -k OfferToInstall      # a single test class
ruff check .                            # lint (must be clean)

tests/test_deps.py is hermetic — it mocks every third-party import and never touches the network or filesystem, so it runs anywhere pytest does.

tests/test_iso_model.py and tests/test_ui.py require PySide6 and pycdlib to be importable; they self-skip with pytest.importorskip when either is absent (e.g. on a headless CI without the Qt runtime libs). On Linux they also need QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen and the Qt shared libraries (libegl1, libgl1, …); install them with:

sudo apt install libegl1 libgl1 libglib2.0-0 libfontconfig1 \
                 libdbus-1-3 libxkbcommon0 libxcb-cursor0

What's covered

File	Subject
tests/test_deps.py	Dependency detection, version comparison, report formatting, install-command construction, interactive install flow (user-accept / user-decline / sudo fallback / sudo failure), ensure_dependencies() exit-code behaviour, --check-deps CLI flag parsing.
tests/test_iso_model.py	IsoTreeModel root-handling: rowCount(QModelIndex()) reflects / contents directly (no virtual placeholder row), fetchMore populates without recursion, index_from_path('/') yields the invalid model root, refresh_parent('/') re-fetches without crashing, and the ISO pane shows entries + breadcrumb after refresh().
tests/test_ui.py	Main-window UI contract: single-tab close-button hiding, two-tab restore, splitter sizes give the right pane non-zero width, transfer column structure + wiring, swap action absent from toolbar but bound to Ctrl+Shift+X, filter-box max widths, Boot Image action icon, FsPane column sizing.

Adding tests

Mirror each new module under iso_scalpel/ with a tests/test_<module>.py. Use unittest.mock.patch for any third-party imports the module touches so the hermetic part of the suite stays runnable without PySide6 / pycdlib.
