Development Setup

Clone the repository.

Download and install the latest blender version from here. Start blender and go to Edit>Preferences>Add-ons. Enable any Add-on here and disable it again.(This creates the required folders in %AppData%)

Download the python code coverage module from here. Extract it and copy the coverage folder into 'your blender installation path'/Blender Foundation/Blender/'blender version'/scripts/modules.

Open the command prompt and navigate to %AppData%/Roaming/Blender Foundation/Blender/'blender version' Type mkdir scripts\addons and press enter. Type cd scripts\addons and press enter. Type mklink /D io_mesh_w3d 'path to plugin repository'/io_mesh_w3d and press enter. Then type mklink /D tests 'path to plugin repository'/tests and press enter.

Open the folder of the cloned repository and create a copy of the runTests.bat. Edit the file so that it points to the location of the blender.exe. Run the tests by executing the batch file.
