test.py

The Python program test.py replaces the old run_tests.py. It takes test input files (in SCCD XML format) as parameter. It compiles tests and runs them.

For example, to run the "semantics" tests:

python3 test.py test_files/semantics

This will create a 'build' directory with compiled statechart models. It is always safe to remove this directory, it merely serves as a 'cache' for build artifacts.

render.py

The Python program render.py renders SVG graphs for test files. Rendered SVG files are already checked in to this repository. If you wish to re-render them, you need the NPM (NodeJS) package state-machine-cat. Install NodeJS and NPM, and then install the NPM package 'state-machine-cat':

npm i -g state-machine-cat

Now, e.g. render the "semantics" tests:

python3 render.py test_files/semantics

By default, the SVG files are stored next to the test XML files.
