Run tests, lint the code

We use Tox for continuous integration. Under the hood, you'll find PyTest, Flake8 and ESLint.

# Run tests and linters with Tox's parallel mode:
tox -p

# Pytest
tox -e test

# Run specific test(s)
tox -e test -- tests/test_models/test_authorized_user.py

# Linters, à la carte
tox -e lint-py
tox -e lint-vue

# Auto-fix linting errors in Vue code
tox -e lint-vue-fix

# Lint specific file(s)
tox -e lint-py -- scripts/cohort_fixtures.py
