class DatasetTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    """Abstract base class for all dataset testcases.

    You have to overwrite the following class attributes:

        - DATASET_CLASS (torchvision.datasets.VisionDataset): Class of dataset to be tested.
        - FEATURE_TYPES (Sequence[Any]): Types of the elements returned by index access of the dataset. Instead of
            providing these manually, you can instead subclass ``ImageDatasetTestCase`` or ``VideoDatasetTestCase```to
            get a reasonable default, that should work for most cases. Each entry of the sequence may be a tuple,
            to indicate multiple possible values.

    Optionally, you can overwrite the following class attributes:

        - DEFAULT_CONFIG (Dict[str, Any]): Config that will be used by default. If omitted, this defaults to all
            keyword arguments of the dataset minus ``transform``, ``target_transform``, ``transforms``, and
            ``download``. Overwrite this if you want to use a default value for a parameter for which the dataset does
            not provide one.
        - ADDITIONAL_CONFIGS (Sequence[Dict[str, Any]]): Additional configs that should be tested. Each dictionary can
            contain an arbitrary combination of dataset parameters that are **not** ``transform``, ``target_transform``,
            ``transforms``, or ``download``.
        - REQUIRED_PACKAGES (Iterable[str]): Additional dependencies to use the dataset. If these packages are not
            available, the tests are skipped.

    Additionally, you need to overwrite the ``inject_fake_data()`` method that provides the data that the tests rely on.
    The fake data should resemble the original data as close as necessary, while containing only few examples. During
    the creation of the dataset check-, download-, and extract-functions from ``torchvision.datasets.utils`` are
    disabled.

    Without further configuration, the testcase will test if

    1. the dataset raises a :class:`FileNotFoundError` or a :class:`RuntimeError` if the data files are not found or
       corrupted,
    2. the dataset inherits from `torchvision.datasets.VisionDataset`,
    3. the dataset can be turned into a string,
    4. the feature types of a returned example matches ``FEATURE_TYPES``,
    5. the number of examples matches the injected fake data, and
    6. the dataset calls ``transform``, ``target_transform``, or ``transforms`` if available when accessing data.

    Case 3. to 6. are tested against all configurations in ``CONFIGS``.

    To add dataset-specific tests, create a new method that takes no arguments with ``test_`` as a name prefix:

    .. code-block::

        def test_foo(self):
            pass

    If you want to run the test against all configs, add the ``@test_all_configs`` decorator to the definition and
    accept a single argument:

    .. code-block::

        @test_all_configs
        def test_bar(self, config):
            pass

    Within the test you can use the ``create_dataset()`` method that yields the dataset as well as additional
    information provided by the ``ìnject_fake_data()`` method:

    .. code-block::

        def test_baz(self):
            with self.create_dataset() as (dataset, info):
                pass
