Cosmos: Can we force separation of test file and sources?

[iendeavor]

This is a(n):

• [ ] New algorithm
• [ ] Update to an existing algorithm
• [ ] Error
• [x] Proposal to the Repository

Details:

Since this project is a lib, one can use source code to create his / her code, but these files do not include the necessary code, but also the test code and the header files it uses, but one may not want these .

This will be a nice addition.
It is important to enable users to extend/ use the source code in Cosmos to develop their version. Separation of test and source code will refine the structure but we must, also, consider easy access for a user.

What structure are you considering for this?

Refer to these projects:

• googletest

  • src
  • test

• opencv

  • modules
  • core
    
    
    
    • src
    
    
    • test
    
    
  • cudaarithm
    
    
    
    • src
    
    
    • test
    
    

It seems like the best idea to separate the "src" and "test" to each category in code folder:

• code
  
  
  
  • artificial_intelligence
  
  
  • linear_regression
    
    
    
    
    
    • [src]
    
    
    
    • [linear_regression.js]
    
    
    
    • [linear_regression.py]
    
    
    
    • [test]
    
    
    
    • [linear_regression.js]
    
    
    
    • [linear_regression.py]
    
    
    
  
  

In addition, the output of sorting algorithms is same, we can do this:

• code
  
  
  
  • sorting
  
  
  • [src]
    
    
    
    
    
    • [quick_sort]
    
    
    
    • [quick_sort.py]
    
    
    
    • [quick_sort.java]
    
    
    
    • [merge_sort]
    
    
    
    • [merge_sort.cpp]
    
    
    
  
  
  • [test]
    
    
    
    
    
    • [sort.py]
    
    
    
    • [sort.java]

@arnavb Do you have any idea?

[arnavb]

@iattempt, I personally like the last (and second to last) recommendation that you made, with each category having a src and test folder. I think that is the approach that should be taken.

[AdiChat]

Yes, this structure will be better to support test files which is necessary. :+1:

[iendeavor]

Ok, I will do this recently.

[iendeavor]

Solved.
