Hi all, I am looking for some understanding into the various test routines run by TestSuite. The problem is that I'm working on a new parent on which TestSuite fails, and I would like to understand whether this is due to me not understanding the relevant sage internals (very likely) or if I can just ignore this for now. I derived some hope from
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/a42ace80078373b4/ More specifically, I have a class "DifferentialForms" which derives from Algebra, and whose init method contains the following (I don't know if this is relevant): class DifferentialForms(Algebra): def __init__(...): from sage.categories.graded_algebras_with_basis \ import GradedAlgebrasWithBasis from sage.structure.parent_gens import ParentWithGens # Other code ParentWithGens.__init__(self, SR, \ category = GradedAlgebrasWithBasis(SR)) When I run the test method sage: F = DifferentialForms() sage: F._test_category() everything works well (no output), but when I run F._test_elements() I get an error in ... _test_category(). The precise error is listed below, but the traceback tells me that the problem arose in element.pyx: if not is_extension_type(self.__class__): # For usual Python classes, that should be done with # standard inheritance tester.assert_(isinstance(self, self.parent().category().element_class)) Did I mess up with my use of the sage categories somewhere? Any help would be much appreciated, and I can readily supply additional information. Thanks!
