Specify a version for Chessbot so that it will continue to function
properly if the library is updated. Also, update `test-bots` to remove
a temporary fix for Chessbot.
This will make it easier to run standalone
bots in containers like Heroku that prefer
env-var-style configuration.
For now this is undocumented, but we should
update the server docs once a few folks have
tried it out.
(The history behind requiring the config file
is that I wanted to keep things simple and
be strongly opinionated about how you run
bots, so that the docs didn't overwhelm folks,
but this use case has come up more frequently.)
The merels bot was ported to game_handler, but the tests
were not updated. Most changes are minimal, but require
changing how to start a game. It is unclear if the
merels start game was properly updated.

Encountered several issues with test cases initially,
where test cases were failing due to the structure of the tests
within the file. This was circumvented by creating a separate
instance of the class TicTacToeModel for each test case
in order to focus on unit testing. There might be an issue with
the _get_game_handlers() function at the end of the file
which is used to obtain the model and message information,
it seems to be getting the entire class TicTacToeModel instead of
creating an instance of the class. Overall, this commit focuses
on creating a precedent for writing test cases involving TicTacToeModel,
and implements basic cases which can be extended to larger
edge cases in the future. Testing was done locally by running
./tools/test-bots until we were able to get the response 'ok' for
all the test cases written. We also used coverage in order to test the
coverage of the cases. While we were not able to increase
the coverage as much as we would have liked, we were able to
identify several issues and fix them, hopefully making it easier
for future contributors to add additional test cases to TicTacToeModel.
Overall, we would like special attention given to the way
that TicTacToeModel() was initailized in these tests and whether or not
this is a scalable precedent for future tests.
Fixes: #122
Previously the test-bots script filtered out base-class tests from
BotTestCase. With this change, BotTestCase continues to inherit from
unittest.TestCase, but the default test_* methods previously in this
class are now in a new DefaultTests class, which does not. Instead, each
bot needs to inherit from BotTestCase and DefaultTests *explicitly*.
This avoids the need to filter out the base-class tests, which
simplifies the test-bots script, and may ease any migration to eg.
pytest.
The DefaultTests class does require some non-implemented methods which
BotTestCase provides.
We just moved the logic for installing bot dependencies from setup.py
to tools/provision. So bot dependencies are not automatically installed
anymore as a part of the base package. Now, if there is an import error
caused by missing dependency, we display a neat error message asking
the user to provision bot dependencies.
