Testing deepstream python bindings working in a pipeline.

cd tests/integration
pytest test.py

• Since full pipelines are tested, testing takes more time than direct function call
• Video output of pipeline should be set to fakesink to allow efficient automated testing

Installing:

• python virtual env for the requested python version
• dependencies listed in the bindings folder
• pytest

mkdir -p bindings/build
cd bindings/build

cmake ..  -DPYTHON_MINOR_VERSION=6
make
python3.6 -m venv env

cmake ..  -DPYTHON_MINOR_VERSION=8
make
python3.8 -m venv env

. env/bin/activate
pip install pyds-1.1.3-py3-none-*.whl
pip install pytest
cd ../../tests/integration
pytest test.py

In order to add more test let's have a quick overview of the architecture

• Generic pipeline This abstract class handles the common pipeline behavior required to process pipeline elements.
• Simple pipeline no output This pipeline processes 1 video stream and 1 probe and its output is hidden. It is derived from Generic Pipeline, so that only the pipeline element creation and linking is performed

From the above derived pipelines you can make your own by modifying and linking the new elements.

You can copy an existing test from tests/bindings/test.py and modify it. Tests are written in 3 parts:

• Data initialization
• Executing behavior
• Checking results
