Merge pull request #161 from SasView?/ticket-1142-plugin-reload

Ticket 1142 plugin reload

addresses #1142 hopefully for the last time - actually will leave the ticket open as there is an improved fix that is waiting in a sasmodels PR to be merged after the release - move ticket to 4.3 now

     """
+    # TODO: fix model caching
+    # model_test.run_one() is directly forcing a reload of the module, but
+    # sasview_model is caching models that have already been loaded.
+    # If the sasview load happens before the test, then the module is
+    # reloaded out from under it, which causes the global variables in
+    # the model function definitions to be cleared (at least in python 2.7).
+    # To fix the proximal problem of models failing on test, perform the
+    # run_one() tests first.  To fix the deeper problem we should either
+    # remove caching from sasmodels.sasview_model.load_custom_model() or
+    # add caching to sasmodels.custom.load_custom_kernel_module().  Another
+    # option is to add a runTests method to SasviewModel which runs the
+    # test suite directly from the model info structure.  Probably some
+    # combination of options:
+    #    (1) have this function (check_model) operate on a loaded model
+    #    so that caching isn't needed in sasview_models.load_custom_model
+    #    (2) add the runTests method to SasviewModel so that tests can
+    #    be run on a loaded module.
+    #
+    # Also, note that the model test suite runs the equivalent of the
+    # "try running the model" block below, and doesn't need to be run
+    # twice.  The reason for duplicating the block here is to generate
+    # an exception that show_model_output can catch.  Need to write the
+    # runTests method so that it returns success flag as well as output
+    # string so that the extra test is not necessary.
