* Switch to plain unittest for skipping slow tests.
Add a RUN_SLOW environment variable for running them.
* Switch to plain unittest for PyTorch dependency.
* Switch to plain unittest for TensorFlow dependency.
* Avoid leaking open files in the test suite.
This prevents spurious warnings when running tests.
* Fix unicode warning on Python 2 when running tests.
The warning was:
UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
* Support running PyTorch tests on a GPU.
Reverts 27e015bd.
* Tests no longer require pytest.
* Make tests pass on cuda
Custom schedulers are currently initiated by wrapping Pytorch's LambdaLR
class and passing a method of the wrapping class to the __init__
function of LambdaLR. This approach is not appropriate for several
reasons:
1. one does not need to define a class when it only defines a
__init__() method;
2. instantiating the parent class by passing a method of the child class
creates a cyclical reference which leads to memory leaks. See issues #1742 and #1134.
In this commit we replace the wrapper classes with functions that
instantiate `LambdaLR` with a custom learning rate function. We use a
closure to specify the parameter of the latter. We also do a bit of
renaming within the function to explicit the behaviour and removed
docstrings that were subsequently not necessary.
