SardanaMacroTester.py

Since the MacroServer is usually started by Astor, error messages are not immediately visible to someone developing Macros. Therefore a tool has been created to overcome this deficiency. SardanaMacroTester.py visits all directories in the MacroPath (MacroServer property) and tries to import all Macros. It reports Python errors and conflicting names of Macro libraries and classes.

$ SardanaMacroTester.py --help
usage: SardanaMacroTester.py [-h] [-a] [-f FILENAME]

import all macros from MacroPath and report
  - Python errors 
  - conflicting macro library names 
  - conflicting class names

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  -a           show all loaded macros
  -f FILENAME  examine a single file

Examples:
  SardanaMacroTester.py 
    show only errors and conflicts
  SardanaMacroTester.py -a
    show all loaded macros and errors and conflicts
  SardanaMacroTester.py -f fName.py
    examine a single file, perform only Python tests
