How to test rasa core from a python file like the following code:

from rasa.core.test import test

path\_to\_test\_data = ‘/Users/saramohamadi/Desktop/Got\_It/rasa/rasa\_for\_beginners\_improve/tests/test\_stories.yml’

unpacked\_model = ‘/Users/saramohamadi/Desktop/Got\_It/rasa/rasa\_for\_beginners\_improve/models/20210118-141502/core’

test\_result = test(path\_to\_test\_data, unpacked\_model) print(test\_result)

Could you explain me the correct syntax? the above code does not work for me
