Testing
Dotbot testing code can use Docker or Vagrant to run all tests inside a virtual environment to have tests be completely isolated from the host machine. The tests are deterministic, and each test is run in a virtual environment with fresh state, ensuring that tests that modify system state are easily repeatable.
NOTE: Vagrant test driver relies on the Sahara plugin to snapshot and roll back virtual machine state.
Running the Tests
Vagrant
Before running the tests, the virtual machine must be running. It can be
started by running vagrant up.
The test suite can be executed by running ./test.
Selected tests can be run by passing paths to the tests as arguments to ./test. Example: ./test defaults.bash
Tests can be run with a specific Python version by passing it's version as argument with key --version or -v. Examples: ./test --version 2.7.13, ./test -v 3.5.
You can also combine both of this for sure. Example: ./test --version 3.6.0 clean-outsude.bash.
When finished with testing, it is good to shut down the virtual machine by
running vagrant halt.
Docker
Before running the tests, ensure that you have Docker installed.
The test suite can be executed by running ./test_docker (with appropriate rights for running docker binary).
Selected tests can be run by passing paths to the tests as arguments to ./test_docker. Example: ./test defaults.bash
Tests can be run with a specific Python version by passing it's version as argument with key --version or -v. Examples: ./test_docker --version 2.7.13, ./test_docker -v 3.5.
You can also combine both of this for sure. Example: ./test_docker --version 3.6.0 clean-outsude.bash.
When finished, container will be deleted. But you have to manually remove unnecessary docker images (docker rmi python:tag), where tag - version of Python, that you've passed to the script (docker rmi python:2.7.9 by default, if no version was specified).
