Testing Local Deployment

Using Pytest

1. Open a terminal in the project root and activate the virtual environment (created during local deployment)

   # For Windows
   > venv\Scripts\activate

   or

   # For Unix based (MacOS and Ubuntu)
   $ source venv/bin/activate

2. Update the .env file with latest bearer tokens for Dean, Doctor and Nurse role (if tokens are expired).
3. Then run the below command

   $ python -m pytest

Note: These tests will create a test_database.db file inside pms folder
