Is it possible to write a test that runs over all polynomial ring over a field in Sage? This is as opposed to a test that works in a specific ring that the test constructs. Obviously there are infinitely many possible rings that can be constructed, so the test should run over some representative finite subset.
This is relevant to me in writing tests for the Frobby spkg, since I want to accept as a parameter a monomial ideal in any polynomial ring. How do I test that? I don't know what all the polynomial rings in Sage are, and I would like the test to detect if in future someone adds a new type of polynomial ring for which my code does not work. I looked in the developer guide at http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/conventions.html#automated-testing and I didn't see any discussion of this. Searching sage-devel for "parameterized test" also yields no hits. Should I test one ring and leave it at that? -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
