## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
Nix comes with three different flavors of tests: unit, functional and integration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit-tests
|
||||
|
||||
The unit-tests for each Nix library (`libexpr`, `libstore`, etc..) are defined
|
||||
under `src/{library_name}/tests` using the
|
||||
[googletest](https://google.github.io/googletest/) framework.
|
||||
|
||||
You can run the whole testsuite with `make check`, or the tests for a specific component with `make libfoo-tests_RUN`. Finer-grained filtering is also possible using the [--gtest_filter](https://google.github.io/googletest/advanced.html#running-a-subset-of-the-tests) command-line option.
|
||||
|
||||
### Functional tests
|
||||
|
||||
The functional tests reside under the `tests` directory and are listed in `tests/local.mk`.
|
||||
The whole testsuite can be run with `make install && make installcheck`.
|
||||
Individual tests can be run with `make tests/{testName}.sh.test`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration tests
|
||||
|
||||
The integration tests are defined in the Nix flake under the `hydraJobs.tests` attribute.
|
||||
These tests include everything that needs to interact with external services or run Nix in a non-trivial distributed setup.
|
||||
Because these tests are expensive and require more than what the standard github-actions setup provides, they only run on the master branch (on <https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master>).
|
||||
|
||||
You can run them manually with `nix build .#hydraJobs.tests.{testName}` or `nix-build -A hydraJobs.tests.{testName}`
