GRAS tests

A set of tests of the GRAS functionalities is distributed with the GRAS code, under the tests folder. During installation, the make install instruction also creates a copy of the whole tests directory tree under the build area.

In each test test folder, one or more test macro files are contained in the macros folder. Reference CSV output files are contained in the data folder, reference log text in the log folder.

Each test is driven by a macro file and can be run individually, but all tests can also be run at once in the build/tests area with the BASH script tests_run_all.sh.

A report of all tests results can be compiled, based on all CSV output files, with the script tests_make_report.sh. This script executes the Python script tests_make_report.py, which produces - a series of text files in reStructuredText format, and - plots for all 1D histograms in the CSV files. This information is processed with the sphinx package to produce - web pages in HTML format, that can be visualised with a web browser, and - LaTeX pages converted to PDF format with pdflatex.

By default, the results of the tests run in the build area are compared side-by-side to the reference results from the same release (included under gras/tests).
