Changes BcolzDailyBarWriter to not be an abc, data is passed as an
iterator of (sid, dataframe) pairs to the write method.
Changes the AssetsDBWriter to be a single class which accepts an engine
at construction time and has a `write` method for writing dataframes for
the various tables. We no longer support writing the various other data
types, callers should coerce their data into a dataframe themselves. See
zipline.assets.synthetic for some helpers to do this.
Adds many new fixtures and updates some existing fixtures to use the new
ones:
WithDefaultDateBounds
A fixture that provides the suite a START_DATE and END_DATE. This is
meant to make it easy for other fixtures to synchronize their date
ranges without depending on eachother in strange ways. For example,
WithBcolzMinuteBarReader and WithBcolzDailyBarReader by default should
both have data for the same dates, so they may use depend on
WithDefaultDates without forcing a dependency between them.
WithTmpDir, WithInstanceTmpDir
Provides the suite or individual test case a temporary directory.
WithBcolzDailyBarReader
Provides the suite a BcolzDailyBarReader which reads from bcolz data
written to a temporary directory. The data will be read from
dataframes and then converted to bcolz files with
BcolzDailyBarWriter.write
WithBcolzDailyBarReaderFromCSVs
Provides the suite a BcolzDailyBarReader which reads from bcolz data
written to a temporary directory. The data will be read from a
collection of CSV files and then converted into the bcolz data through
BcolzDailyBarWriter.write_csvs
WithBcolzMinuteBarReader
Provides the suite a BcolzMinuteBarReader which reads from bcolz data
written to a temporary directory. The data will be read from
dataframes and then converted to bcolz files with
BcolzMinuteBarWriter.write
WithAdjustmentReader
Provides the suite a SQLiteAdjustmentReader which reads from an in
memory sqlite database. The data will be read from dataframes and then
converted into sqlite with SQLiteAdjustmentWriter.write
WithDataPortal
Provides each test case a DataPortal object with data from temporary
resources.
Renames zipline.utils.test_utils to zipline.testing
Adds zipline.testing.fixtures.ZiplineTestCase to manage setup and
teardown and adds mixins to define fixtures like an asset finder or
trading calendar.
This commit removes the ability to reference a shared TradingEnvironment through the zipline.finance.trading module. In place, the classes that require a TradingEnvironment, or its child AssetFinder, contain their own references to those objects.
This commit also adds serialization utilities that allow for the pickling/unpickling of objects without unintentionally their TradingEnvironments or AssetFinders.
The write_data methods invokes the relevant AssetDBWriter subclass
to write data to the database. update_asset_finder is no longer
a relevant method since the AssetFinder is strictly a reader class.
Rather than drop files temporarily into the master security lists
directory during unit tests, create temporary directories for the
tests. This avoids issues when the tests are being run at the same
time as other code that uses the real security lists data.
and added a new test case
was not iterating over lookup date directory names, and
therefore mising all by one list of stocks.
discovered because of differing sort orders between
my local machine, other devs, and travis ci.
