Test workflow is outdated

[ziw-liu]

Currently the GH Action only tests the package on Linux (Ubuntu) and Python 3.7 (which is EOL). We should test on more platforms (Windows and macOS) and newer Python versions (3.8+).

We can also add coverage check and linting to the PR-triggered workflows.

We could also add pre-commit

Was about to open a separate issue to propose the introduction of formatting/linting.

With #25 I think we still need testing on multiple platforms.

Another thought about CI: #31 (comment)
Maybe something like Codecov?

We can definitely add multiple platforms testing but I would question the need. Do we have any dependency that is behaving different across different platforms? Or do we write any such code?

I would be happy to run codecov on main branch whenever a new PR is merged(and have a coverage badge on readme maybe?). For the PR CI runs, I would suggest adding codecov as a final step task since it is running tests significantly slower.

By testing we can ensure that the code does not behave differently due to unintended practice such as hardcoding slashes when joining filenames.

I agree!

Removing from 0.1.0 milestone since #25 fixed most of the more urgent issues.
