# ethology-test-data

Test data for the ethology Python package.

## General guidelines
When adding test data to test a specific module, please include under a subdirectory with the following structure:

```bash
test_data/test_<module-name>/
```

This will allow us to make efficient use of the `pooch` library and the `pytest` fixtures.

## Adding or editing data

Remember to update the file registry at `files-registry.txt` after adding or editing the data! 

To do so, run the following from the root of the GIN repository:

1. Ensure all the content is downloaded locally:

```bash
gin download --content
```

1. After editing or adding any files, run the provided Python script to re-generate the `file-registry.txt` file:

```bash
python get_sha256_hashes.py
```

1. Commit and upload the changes to the GIN repository

```bash
gin commit -m "Update file and file-registry.txt" <path-to-edited-or-updated-file> file-registry.txt
gin upload <path-to-edited-or-updated-file> file-registry.txt
```
