Open Ephys Test Suite

Open Ephys Test Suite is a Python library for performing automated tests with the Open Ephys GUI v0.6.0+.

The tests directory contains examples of tests.

Before running any test, first launch the GUI with an empty signal chain (Edit->Clear Signal Chain) and ensure the HTTPServer is enabled (File->Enable HTTP Server).

Single test

To run a single test:

python tests/basic_record.py --mode local --fetch 1

The mode param is required for all calls:

• Set to local if running on your own machine
• Set to githubactions if running on a Github Actions runner

The fetch param is required for any tests that involve recordings:

• Set to 1 if you want to fetch new data from the GUI during the test
• Set to 0 to skip recording new data and use an existing dataset.

Additional parameters can be passed to each test, see individual test files for details.

All tests

To run all available tests:

python run_all.py
