Example games files that are guaranteed to produce output tactics

[karol-brejna-i]

@vitogit Can you share some PGN files that are guaranteed to produce output tactics (tactics.pgn)?

It would be very helpful for testing/development.

We could even consider adding them to the repo for regression tests.

[vitogit]

Good idea, also I would love to have tests. Do you have some suggestion in python? My idea is something simple like have some game.pgn files and compare the output to make sure is ok.

[karol-brejna-i]

I was thinking about something similar: some pgn's that are sure to produce results (for regression), some that should fail (for checking that ambiguousness detection works fine), etc.

[vitogit]

I'm not sure if the results are deterministic. If I run the same input sometimes it generates less tactics. I don't have much time to go deep into this but here are 3 games that sometimes produce 2 tactics or 1 tactic

And here is my simple test suite

#!/bin/bash

# To run the test from root folder: ./tests/test_default.sh
test_tactics="./tests/tactics_default_3_games_2_found.pgn"
result_tactics="tactics.pgn"

# Run the script with default settings
python3 main.py --games='./tests/default_3_games_2_found.pgn'

diff --brief <(sort $test_tactics) <(sort $result_tactics) >/dev/null
comp_value=$?

if [ $comp_value -eq 1 ]
then
    echo "do something because they're different"
else
    echo "Success"
