J. Nick Koston 9f058ac1a6 [core] Use ETag in external_files cache to fix re-downloads from raw.githubusercontent.com
raw.githubusercontent.com ignores If-Modified-Since (always returns
200), but honors If-None-Match with ETag (returns 304). This caused
every esphome compile/config run to re-download every cached external
file (audio_file, micro_wake_word, image, font, bme68x_bsec2, etc.)
sourced from a /raw/ URL.

- Send If-None-Match with the cached ETag when present
- Persist the ETag from each download in a hidden sidecar file
  (.{name}.etag) and refresh it when a 304 carries a new ETag
- Replace path.write_bytes() with helpers.write_file() so downloads are
  written atomically and can no longer leave partially-written cache
  files behind on crash

Tests for ESPHome

This directory contains some tests for ESPHome. At the moment, all the tests only work by simply executing esphome over some YAML files that are made to test whether the yaml gets converted to the proper C++ code.

Of course this is all just very high-level and things like unit tests would be much better. So if you have time and know how to set up a unit testing framework for python, please do give it a try.

When adding entries in test_.yaml files we usually need only one file updated, unless conflicting code is generated for different configurations, e.g. wifi and ethernet cannot be tested on the same device.

Current test_.yaml file contents.

Test name Platform Network BLE

test6.yaml RP2040 wifi N/A
test7.yaml ESP32-C3 wifi N/A
test8.yaml ESP32-S3 wifi None
test10.yaml ESP32 wifi None
