use InChI generation tests for other toolkits?

[egonw]

I have a look at the current code base and note various tests that test the InChI generation based on some input. I like to use this to check the integration into other tools, like the Chemistry Development Kit and Bioclipse (now living on as Bacting (Java and Python)).

1. How can I currently best use the existing tests?
2. Would it be an idea to factor out the tests for easier and broader compliance testing?

(I checked the issue tracker but did not immediately see issues related, but plz forgive me if these things were already discussed)

Thanks for the issue @egonw. We're providing a Dockerized test environment that can be used to run our test suite against our own test data or external test data (in SDF format): https://github.com/IUPAC-InChI/InChI/tree/dev/INCHI-1-TEST/README.md. Note that the tests don't need to run in the container we're providing. Any Linux environment that contains Python and CMake should be sufficient. Is that what you have in mind?

I am not sure, but I think not. I want to use the tests for other toolkits, e.g. the Chemistry Development Kit, so that I can test that the integration is working as expected.
