The present test functions act on files only. Early tests to stack folders on top of the present functions do not work reliably yet. Thus, better to name the functions (uniformly) about what they test which are actions on files only. This change equally prevents some line breaks on the CLI, too.

Executable file
Intent
The application date2name by Karl Voit et al. (source) prepends datestamps
to files and folders (YYYY-MM-DD, YYYYMMDD, YYYY-MM, and YYYY-MM-DDThh.mm.ss).
This Emacs .org file is used to prepare the automatic testing of the file
processing by pytest.
By the command C-c C-v t, this .org file may (re)generate the tangled test
script, file test_date2name.py as well as a dedicated Makefile to ease the
automated testing even further. pytest is not part of the Python standard
library, but may be obtained easily e.g., from PyPi.
It is advantageous to retain the options to run pytest in a Makefile,
which equally is included in this development e.g. to retain if an
instruction like pytest -xv or pytest-3 -xv is necessary (vide infra).
Dependencies
The testing script is set up with Python 3.9.2 in mind. Thus, to run the tests successfully, you need a working installation of Python 3 with pytest for Python 3.
Deployment
On a computer with Python 3 only, the recommended call on the CLI to run the tests is either one of the following instructions (you might need to add the executable bit):
python pytest -xv test_date2name.py ./Makefile
In case the computer you use equally includes an installation of legacy Python 2 side-by-side to Python 3, you must explicitly call for the later branch of the two. Depending on your OS, this requires an adjustment of the command issue. In Linux Debian 12/bookworm, branch testing, for example,
python3 pytest-3 -xv test_date2name.py
or, after adjustment of the Makefile and provision of the executable bit
./Makefile
Building the tests
Building of the Makefile
Set up for GNU Make 4.3, as provided from the repositories of Linux Debian 12 (bookworm), branch testing.
# GNU Make file for the automation of pytest for date2name.
#
# While the test script is written for Python 3.9.2, you might need to
# adjust the following instruction once in case your OS includes pytest
# for legacy Python 2 side by side to Python 3, or only hosts pytest
# for Python 3. The tests in script test_date2name.py are set up to
# work with pytest for Python 3; dependent on your installation, which
# may be named pytest-3, or (again) pytest.
#
# Put this file like test_date2name.py in the root folder of date2name
# fetched from PyPi or GitHub. Then run
#
# chmod +x *
# make ./Makefile
#
# to run the tests. The test sequence will explicitly report if a test
# was passed successfully, or failed. If you want to script to stop on
# the first encounter of a test failed, add option -x on the commands
# set below
# pytest -v test_date2name.py # only pytest for Python 3 is present
pytest-3 -v test_date2name.py # pytest if Python 2 and Python 3 coexistBuilding the test script

"""Test pad for functions by date2name with pytest.
Written for Python 3.9.2 and pytest 6.2.4 for Python 3 as provided by
Linux Debian 12/bookworm, branch testing, this is a programmatic check
of functions offered by date2name. Deposit this script in the root of
the folder fetched and unzipped from PyPi or GitHub. If your system
includes both legacy Python 2 and Python 3, pytest for Python 3 likely
is named pytest-3; otherwise only pytest. Thus, adjust your input on
the CLI accordingly when running either one of
pytest -xv test_date2name.py
pytest-3 -xv test_date2name.py
The script either stops when one of the tests fail, or after completion
of the test sequence. In both cases, the progress of the ongoing tests
is reported to the CLI."""

Check the retraction of the date/time stamp
The test is constrained to the five fix formats prepending the file name.
Not ready for inclusion into the main branch To trace the advancement of pytest's processing, long delays are set. A manual check of date2time on the CLI confirms that date2name writes the –withtime format, but is not successful to retract this stamp.
