570 tests over the standard library's unittest, so there is nothing to
install beyond the PyQt6 the application already needs. They reach neither
the network, the microphone, nor the real ~/.config/dikte: urllib is faked at
one function, the tools are faked at shutil.which, and every test is handed
its own config and data directory.
What they hold onto is what a change is most likely to move without meaning
to. The request each provider is sent, field by field. A settings window that
loads a value into a widget and writes it back, which is where a setting
added to one half and not the other is silently reset. The dictation chain
end to end: what is transcribed, what is pasted, what lands in the history,
and what happens to the audio afterwards. A config file written by an older
version. A meeting whose two channels heard the same sentence.
59 of them carry @linux_only, because they cover what Dikte is on this
desktop rather than what it does: PipeWire, wl-clipboard, ydotool, KDE's
shortcut file. The other 511 pass on any platform, and that line is worth
holding as the ports arrive.
CONTRIBUTING.md says how to run them, what support.py offers, and the three
things about this codebase that trip up a new test.
