In this folder live the tests for PyTorch's C++ API (formerly known as autogradpp). They use the Catch2 test framework.
The way we handle CUDA tests is by separating them into a separate TEST_CASE
(e.g. we have optim
and optim_cuda
test cases in optim.cpp
), and giving them the [cuda]
tag. Then, inside main.cpp
we detect at runtime whether CUDA is available. If not, we disable these CUDA tests by appending ~[cuda]
to the test specifications. The ~
disables the tag.
One annoying aspect is that Catch only allows filtering on test cases and not sections. Ideally, one could have a section like LSTM
inside the RNN
test case, and give this section a [cuda]
tag to only run it when CUDA is available. Instead, we have to create a whole separate RNN_cuda
test case and put all these CUDA sections in there.
Integration tests use the MNIST dataset. You must download it by running the following command from the PyTorch root folder:
$ python tools/download_mnist.py -d test/cpp/api/mnist
