Julia Language Unit Testing Testing a Package
Example
To run the unit tests for a package, use the Pkg.test function. For a package named MyPackage, the command would be
julia> Pkg.test("MyPackage")
An expected output would be similar to
INFO: Computing test dependencies for MyPackage...
INFO: Installing BaseTestNext v0.2.2
INFO: Testing MyPackage
Test Summary: | Pass Total
Data | 66 66
Test Summary: | Pass Total
Monetary | 107 107
Test Summary: | Pass Total
Basket | 47 47
Test Summary: | Pass Total
Mixed | 13 13
Test Summary: | Pass Total
Data Access | 35 35
INFO: MyPackage tests passed
INFO: Removing BaseTestNext v0.2.2
though obviously, one cannot expect it to match the above exactly, since different packages use different frameworks.
This command runs the package's test/runtests.jl file in a clean environment.
One can test all installed packages at once with
julia> Pkg.test()
but this usually takes a very long time.
