Developer's guide

1. Running unit-tests

Developers may be interested in running unit tests. The best way to do that is to call a command python -m pytest -s -v (if you call pytest -s -v instead, you risk running mismatched python version and also errors about missing imports).

2. Running linter

pylint --rcfile .pylint $(git ls-files 'station/*.py')

flake8 --config .flake8.ini --color=auto $(git ls-files 'station/*.py')

2. Developer's environment

You may want to set DEV_ENVIRONMENT variable in your setup. If set to 1, it will enable debug logging and will use local files for crontab and config file. Setting its value to 2 gets the same result, except not enabling debug logging, which is useful for cleaner test runs.
