Executing Unit Tests Locally

The jwql test suite contains various unit tests that test many of the modules and functions of the jwql package. While most of these tests are automatically executed during GitHub Actions builds when Pull Requests are created or modified, some of the tests are only able to be run locally due to access to internal data. Thus, it is important to test pull requests locally to ensure that all tests pass before merging. To do this, make sure that the jwql conda environment is initiated, then, execute the following:

cd jwql/jwql/tests/
pytest .

If any issues arise, they ideally should be solved within the Pull Request that is being tested.
