More generalized gen_ideal_test.py

[scrasmussen]

Expected Behavior

gen_ideal_test.py should be restored to previous version to be truly a generalized test case. Or a new method that is more generalized and easier to produce tests with should be created.

Current Behavior

gen_ideal_test.py is an ideal test case for the Sleve work in #128

Possible Solution

gen_ideal_test.py should be moved to gen_sleve_ideal_test.py and the previous gen_ideal_test.py should be stored or a new idea test case that is more generalized and easier to produce tests with should be created.

Thanks Soren, the solution I would like to see (when someone has time) is gen_ideal_test with no CLI arguments does what it used to, then
gen_ideal_test.py --sleve generates the test from PR #126 (aka #128 )
gen_ideal_test.py --schar02 generates the test in PR #127
or something like that if possible.

better still would be that, plus an option to give it a yaml file that lets the user specify every option the ideal test can take. (that will make it easy to use for CI testing with a lot of different cases too...)

This shouldn't be too difficult, I'll look into it and start working it

@scrasmussen is it fair to say that it is somewhat general now, or do you still need to add more configurability to it?

@gutmann thanks for the reminder. I have a branch laying around with the changes I wanted, I just need to merge in the upstream changes and then create a PR.
