Installing Test Dependencies

You can install the test dependencies with:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Test Configuration

The test configuration file (fixtures/test_config.yaml) contains a sample configuration for testing, including various units, patterns, and priority mappings.

Mocking

The tests use Python's unittest.mock module to mock external dependencies such as:

• systemd.journal.Reader for journal access
• HTTPSConnection for Pushover API calls
• datetime for time-based tests

This allows the tests to run without requiring actual system journal access or making actual API calls.
