This directory contains files intended to test various aspects of
|
||
Emacs's functionality. Please help add tests!
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
The Makefile in this directory supports the following targets:
|
||
|
||
* make check
|
||
Run all tests as defined in the directory. Expensive 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 <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.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
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: "make <filename> SELECTOR='\"foo$$\"'".
|
||
|
||
|
||
(Also, see etc/compilation.txt for compilation mode font lock tests.)
