Incomplete tests #301

This is a tracking issue for tests that are currently incomplete. These are mostly notated in the code by TODO comments, but it's useful to note them all here too. I haven't checked everything throughly so if there is something missing that isn't noted in a comment it might not be listed here.

Note there are also some functions that aren't yet tested at all, but those are covered in separate issues (e.g., #248 #299). I also am not including tests that are currently skipped entirely as flaky (#300).

test_array_object.py

• test_getitem_masking.py (key.ndim < x.ndim not tested)

test_creation_functions.py

The device keyword is never tested (see below)

• test_meshgrid (no testing of the indexing argument, no testing the output shapes) -- fixed in ENH: expand testing of meshgrid #405

test_data_type_functions.py

• test_astype (no complex types, no values testing, no test for copy) -- ENH: test astype with complex inputs #311
• test_broadcast_arrays (no values testing)
• test_broadcast_to (no values testing)
• test_can_cast (no complex types) -- ENH: add a test for can_cast(complex dtypes) #320
• test_finfo (no values testing)
• test_iinfo (no values testing)

test_fft.py

• test_irfftn (no shape tests) -- fixed in switch back testing of irfftn shapes #309
• test_fftfreq, test_fftshift (no test for the dtype argument, new in 2024.12) -- fixed in ENH: test_{r,}fftfreq dtype argument #408

test_has_names.py

• Several names are not tested for (see has_names check missing some things #224)

test_indexing.py

• test_take (different dtypes for indices); axis=None done in test_take: test axis being optional if x.ndim==1 #385); negative indices done in ENH: test take and take_along_axis with indices < 0 #397
• test_take_along_axis (different dtypes for indices, broadcast-compatible indices); negative indices done in ENH: test take and take_along_axis with indices < 0 #397

test_inspection_functions.py

Basically none of the inspection APIs are currently tested, beyond the basic signature tests. Note that for many of these functions, we may not even need to use hypothesis. Just a basic test that the function outputs the right thing and a smoke test that the data outputted is correct.

• ENH: some more tests of inspection functions #362 adds some more smoke testing of inspection capabilities.

test_linalg.py

(note: values testing here might be hard. Values testing isn't as high priority for functions that already generally work)

• test_det (no values testing)
• test_eigh (no values testing)
• test_eigvalsh (no values testing)
• test_eig (no values testing)
• test_eigvals (no values testing)
• test_inv (no values testing)
• test_matmul (the @ __matmul__ operator methods are not tested)
• test_matrix_norm (no values testing)
• test_qr (no test that Q is orthonormal)
• test_slogdet (no values testing)
• test_svdvals (no values testing; no test that it agrees with svd())
• test_trace (need to update dtype assertion, this should match test_sum)
• test_vector_norm (no values testing)

Additionally, there are some limitations in the hypothesis strategies used by some of the functions. These should be made more general so that the functions are actually tested on a full gamut of possible inputs:

• symmetric_matrices (does not generate complex Hermitian matrices
• positive_definite_matrices (only generates stacks of identity matrices
• invertable_matrices (only generates stacks of diagonal matrices)

test_manipulation_functions.py

• test_tile (no values testing) -- ENH: test_tile: check the shapes #376
• test_repeat: only draws signed ints for repeats; unsigned ints are problematic for numpy and torch; cf MAINT: only draw signed ints for repeats in test_repeat #424
• test_reshape: no testing of the copy= argument : done in ENH: reshape: test copy= kwarg #432

test_operators_and_elementwise_functions.py

• test_divide (no complex numbers testing) -- fixed in stop skipping test_divide for complex inputs #306
• test_negative (there is a TODO about uints)
• scalar support in binary functions: (better value testing, test complex dtypes); tracked in Missing use cases for binops on array vs. scalar #364
• test_clip : no testing of an int scalar min/max and a float array

test_signatures.py

Several issues tracked in other issues: #256, #171

test_sorting_functions.py

• test_argsort (no testing of signed zeros or nans)
• test_sort (no testing of signed zeros or nans)

test_special_cases.py

Many special cases are not tested. This is tracked at #284

test_statistical_functions.py

See also #167

• test_mean (no values testing)
• test_std (no values testing)
• test_var (no values testing)

test_utility_functions.py

• test_diff (no values testing for n > 1)

OTHER

• Tests for device support Test device support #302
• Tests for dlpack (no cross-library tests, limited testing with non-default devices, limited testing of copy=False), cf ENH: Add basic dlpack testing #433
