Testing

You can help us testing coala in several ways.

Executing our Tests

coala has a big test suite. It is meant to work on every platform on every PC. If you just execute our tests you are doing us a favor.

To run tests, You first need to install some dependencies. This can be done by following these steps:

If you have not already, clone the repository (or a fork of it) by running:

$ git clone https://github.com/coala/coala

Navigate to the directory where coala is located.

Next you need to install some requirements. This can be done by executing the following command while in the root of the coala project directory.

$ pip3 install -r test-requirements.txt -r requirements.txt

You can then execute our tests with

$ py.test

Note

If py.test seems to give errors, try running python3 -m pytest instead.

and report any errors you get!

To run our tests, you can also use python3 setup.py test

Note

If you need to customize test running, you can get more options about allowing skipped tests, getting code coverage displayed or omitting/selecting tests using py.test directly.

$ py.test --help

Note

You will not get a test coverage of 100% - the coverage on the website is merged for several python versions.

Using test coverage

To get coverage information, you can run:

$ py.test --cov

You can view the coverage report as html by running:

$ py.test --cov --cov-report html

The html report will be saved .htmlreport inside the coala repository.
