Development setup

Virtual environment

Create a virtual environment and install the dependencies:

python3 -m venv ./venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r ./requirements.txt --upgrade

Install development dependencies, as well:

pip install -r ./requirements-dev.txt --upgrade

Above, requirements.txt should mirror the dependencies section of pyproject.toml.

If using VSCode, restart it or follow these steps:

• Ctrl + Shift + P
• Select Interpreter
• Choose ./venv/bin/python.

Tests

Run the tests as follows:

This command runs all tests:

pytest .

If you want to skip network interaction tests run:

pytest -m "not networkInteraction"

Generate test coverage report

First, we run the tests using coverage:

coverage run -m pytest .

Then, we can generate a report in the terminal using:

coverage report

We can also generate a html report using:

coverage html

Regenerating the docs

Each time a new module/submodule is added it needs to be added to the docs, as well. To do so cd in the root directory then run the following command:

sphinx-apidoc -f -o docs/ multiversx_sdk/ *_test.py *constants.py

This command will regenerate the .rst files for each module, excluding the tests and the constants.py files.

Also, each time a new version is released, the conf.py file should be updated accordingly.
