Test suite?

[rob-p]

I’m trying to build a (minimal) seqcol implementation in rust here. Right now, the interface and API are as minimal as can be for what we need (building a seqcol digest from a SAM header for our long read quantification tool, oarfish). However, it may be generally useful to the community to have such a library in rust as that language continues to quickly gain adoption in bioinformatics.

to this end, is there some sort of “test suite” against which one can run an implementation to check compatibility with the reference implementation?

Thanks!

Yes, I am working in on a test suite here: https://github.com/refgenie/refget?tab=readme-ov-file#compliance-testing-of-sequence-collections-api

But are you talking about a testing of the API? It seems more likely you may be looking for a test that just compares a digest for a collection, is that right?

Also, in other news; I've also written a rust helper library that will compute seqcol digests. I didn't (and am not planning to) implement the web API in rust, but if all you need is the digest computations in rust, then you might be able to use that... It will be available in the v0.2.0 release of gtars planned for later this month.
