how to add some tests?

[bwheelz36]

It would be nice to have some tests that the code is working. At a minimum, a script which sets up and deploys the server so we can check this runs without issues (also checks that dependencies are correct etc.).

I can almost write this script already, the main questions are:

• how to autocreate a super user when prompted?
• once we deploy, appropriate way in bash to check that it has worked, then shut it down elegantly (may need to start in a seperate process?)

I've put example below with comments indicating the steps I'm unsure of.

git clone https://github.com/ACRF-Image-X-Institute/scientific-method-app.git
cd scientific-method-app/
python3 -m venv venv  # create virtual environement
source venv/bin/activate   # activate environment
pip install -r requirements.txt  # install requirements
python manage.py makemigrations  # set up app as per readme
python3 manage.py migrate
python3 manage.py createsuperuser  # here, we get prompted for text input; how to handle this automatically?
python3 manage.py runserver  # how can we test this this worked properly, then shut it down elegaantly?
