See the end of the file for license conditions.
This directory contains files intended to test various aspects of
Emacs's functionality. Please help add tests!
See the file file-organization.org for the details of the directory
structure and file-naming conventions.
Emacs uses ERT, Emacs Lisp Regression Testing, for testing. See (info
"(ert)") or https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/ert/
for more information on writing and running tests.
Tests could be tagged by the developer. In this test directory, the
following tags are recognized:
* :expensive-test
The test needs a serious amount of time to run. It is not intended
to run on a regular basis by users. Instead, it runs on demand
only, or during regression tests.
* :unstable
The test is under development. It shall run on demand only.
The Makefile in this directory supports the following targets:
* make check
Run all tests as defined in the directory. Expensive and unstable
tests are suppressed. The result of the tests for <filename>.el is
stored in <filename>.log.
* make check-maybe
Like "make check", but run only the tests for files which have
unresolved prerequisites.
* make check-expensive
Like "make check", but run also the tests marked as expensive.
* make check-all
Like "make check", but run all tests.
* make check-<dirname>
Like "make check", but run only the tests in test/<dirname>/*.el.
<dirname> is a relative directory path, which has replaced "/" by "-",
like in "check-src" or "check-lisp-net".
* make <filename> -or- make <filename>.log
Run all tests declared in <filename>.el. This includes expensive
tests. In the former case the output is shown on the terminal, in
the latter case the output is written to <filename>.log.
<filename> could be either a relative file name like
"lisp/files-tests", or a package name like "files-tests".
ERT offers selectors, which make it possible to filter out which test
cases shall run. The make variable $(SELECTOR) gives you a simple
mean to use your own selectors. The ERT manual describes how
selectors are constructed, see (info "(ert)Test Selectors") or
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/ert/Test-Selectors.html
You could use predefined selectors of the Makefile. "make <filename>
SELECTOR='$(SELECTOR_DEFAULT)'" runs all tests for <filename>.el
except the tests tagged as expensive or unstable. Other predefined
selectors are $(SELECTOR_EXPENSIVE) (run all tests except unstable
ones) and $(SELECTOR_ALL) (run all tests).
If your test file contains the tests "test-foo", "test2-foo" and
"test-foo-remote", and you want to run only the former two tests, you
could use a selector regexp (note that the "$" needs to be doubled to
protect against "make" variable expansion):
make <filename> SELECTOR='"foo$$"'
In case you want to use the symbol name of a test as selector, you can
use it directly:
make <filename> SELECTOR='test-foo-remote'
Note that although the test files are always compiled (unless they set
no-byte-compile), the source files will be run when expensive or
unstable tests are involved, to give nicer backtraces. To run the
compiled version of a test use
make TEST_LOAD_EL=no ...
Some tests might take long time to run. In order to summarize the
<nn> tests with the longest duration, call
make SUMMARIZE_TESTS=<nn> ...
The backtrace of failing tests are truncated to the default value of
'ert-batch-backtrace-right-margin'. To see more of the backtrace, use
make TEST_BACKTRACE_LINE_LENGTH=<nn> ...
The tests are run in batch mode by default; sometimes it's useful to
get precisely the same environment but run in interactive mode for
debugging. To do that, use
make TEST_INTERACTIVE=yes ...
Some of the tests require a remote temporary directory
(autorevert-tests.el, filenotify-tests.el, shadowfile-tests.el and
tramp-tests.el). Per default, a mock-up connection method is used
(this might not be possible when running on MS Windows). If you want
to test a real remote connection, set $REMOTE_TEMPORARY_FILE_DIRECTORY
to a suitable value in order to overwrite the default value:
env REMOTE_TEMPORARY_FILE_DIRECTORY=/ssh:host:/tmp make ...
There are also continuous integration tests on
<https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/emacs-trunk> (see
admin/notes/hydra) and <https://emba.gnu.org/emacs/emacs> (see
admin/notes/emba). Both environments provide an environment variable,
which could be used to determine, whether the tests run in one of
these test environments.
$EMACS_HYDRA_CI indicates the hydra environment, and $EMACS_EMBA_CI
indicates the emba environment, respectively.
(Also, see etc/compilation.txt for compilation mode font lock tests
and etc/grep.txt for grep mode font lock tests.)
