I won't repeat what it says in the documentation, but I completely failed to find out how to write tests, the Inkex documentation is pretty vague on that point and I couldn't find any examples in the Inkscape repo. Obviously I was looking in the wrong place so any pointers would be very welcome.
The Inkscape Extensions repository ( https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions ) has tests for every extension that is part of the current set. You might look there as a starting point.
Still having trouble writing tests. The extension operates on selected paths. I have an input data/svg/calligraphic_pen_input.svg that I saved out of Inkscape with a path selected, but when I re-open it in Inkscape the path is no longer selected.
Anyone got any ideas about how to preserve the selection in a saved file? Or do I need a different approach?

A quick Google search didn't turn up anything.
never mind, solved it by passing in an extra
