# Help

3+
## Running the tests
4+
5+
We use [pytest][pytest: Getting Started Guide] as our website test runner.
6+
You will need to install `pytest` on your development machine if you want to run tests for the Python track locally.
7+
You should also install the following `pytest` plugins:
8+
9+
- [pytest-cache][pytest-cache]
10+
- [pytest-subtests][pytest-subtests]
11+
12+
Extended information can be found in our website [Python testing guide][Python track tests page].
13+
14+
15+
### Running Tests
16+
17+
To run the included tests, navigate to the folder where the exercise is stored using `cd` in your terminal (_replace `{exercise-folder-location}` below with your path_).
18+
Test files usually end in `_test.py`, and are the same tests that run on the website when a solution is uploaded.
19+
20+
Linux/MacOS
21+
```bash
22+
$ cd {path/to/exercise-folder-location}
23+
```
24+
25+
Windows
26+
```powershell
27+
PS C:\Users\foobar> cd {path\to\exercise-folder-location}
28+
```
29+
30+
<br>
31+
32+
Next, run the `pytest` command in your terminal, replacing `{exercise_test.py}` with the name of the test file:
33+
34+
Linux/MacOS
35+
```bash
36+
$ python3 -m pytest -o markers=task {exercise_test.py}
37+
==================== 7 passed in 0.08s ====================
38+
```
39+
40+
Windows
41+
```powershell
42+
PS C:\Users\foobar> py -m pytest -o markers=task {exercise_test.py}
43+
==================== 7 passed in 0.08s ====================
44+
```
45+
46+
47+
### Common options
48+
- `-o` : override default `pytest.ini` (_you can use this to avoid marker warnings_)
49+
- `-v` : enable verbose output.
50+
- `-x` : stop running tests on first failure.
51+
- `--ff` : run failures from previous test before running other test cases.
52+
53+
For additional options, use `python3 -m pytest -h` or `py -m pytest -h`.
54+
55+
56+
### Fixing warnings
57+
58+
If you do not use `pytest -o markers=task` when invoking `pytest`, you might receive a `PytestUnknownMarkWarning` for tests that use our new syntax:
59+
60+
```bash
61+
PytestUnknownMarkWarning: Unknown pytest.mark.task - is this a typo? You can register custom marks to avoid this warning - for details, see https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/mark.html
62+
```
63+
64+
To avoid typing `pytest -o markers=task` for every test you run, you can use a `pytest.ini` configuration file.
65+
We have made one that can be downloaded from the top level of the Python track directory: [pytest.ini][pytest.ini].
66+
67+
You can also create your own `pytest.ini` file with the following content:
68+
69+
```ini
70+
[pytest]
71+
markers =
72+
task: A concept exercise task.
73+
```
74+
75+
Placing the `pytest.ini` file in the _root_ or _working_ directory for your Python track exercises will register the marks and stop the warnings.
76+
More information on pytest marks can be found in the `pytest` documentation on [marking test functions][pytest: marking test functions with attributes] and the `pytest` documentation on [working with custom markers][pytest: working with custom markers].
77+
78+
Information on customizing pytest configurations can be found in the `pytest` documentation on [configuration file formats][pytest: configuration file formats].
79+
80+
81+
### Extending your IDE or Code Editor
82+
83+
Many IDEs and code editors have built-in support for using `pytest` and other code quality tools.
84+
Some community-sourced options can be found on our [Python track tools page][Python track tools page].

## Submitting your solution
97+
98+
You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit diamond.py` command.
99+
This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
100+
101+
It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
102+
103+
- See how others have completed the exercise
104+
- Request help from a mentor
105+
106+
## Need to get help?
107+
108+
If you'd like help solving the exercise, check the following pages:
109+
110+
- The [Python track's documentation](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/python)

# Diamond
2+
3+
Welcome to Diamond on Exercism's Python Track.
4+
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
5+
6+
## Instructions
7+
8+
The diamond kata takes as its input a letter, and outputs it in a diamond shape.
9+
Given a letter, it prints a diamond starting with 'A', with the supplied letter at the widest point.
10+
11+
## Requirements
12+
13+
- The first row contains one 'A'.
14+
- The last row contains one 'A'.
15+
- All rows, except the first and last, have exactly two identical letters.
16+
- All rows have as many trailing spaces as leading spaces. (This might be 0).
17+
- The diamond is horizontally symmetric.
18+
- The diamond is vertically symmetric.
19+
- The diamond has a square shape (width equals height).
20+
- The letters form a diamond shape.
21+
- The top half has the letters in ascending order.
22+
- The bottom half has the letters in descending order.
23+
- The four corners (containing the spaces) are triangles.
24+
25+
## Examples
26+
27+
In the following examples, spaces are indicated by `·` characters.
28+
29+
Diamond for letter 'A':
30+
31+
```text
32+
A
33+
```
34+
35+
Diamond for letter 'C':
36+
37+
```text
38+
··A··
39+
·B·B·
40+
C···C
41+
·B·B·
42+
··A··
43+
```
44+
45+
Diamond for letter 'E':
46+
47+
```text
48+
····A····
49+
···B·B···
50+
··C···C··
51+
·D·····D·
52+
E·······E
53+
·D·····D·
54+
··C···C··
55+
···B·B···
56+
····A····

```
