This is designed to be enough information for you to run your first tests. Detailed information on testing can be found here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Testing
Install pip:
$ [apt-get | yum] install python-pip
More information on pip here: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/
Use pip to install tox:
$ pip install tox
Navigate to the project's root directory and execute:
$ tox
Note: completing this command may take a long time (depends on system resources) also, you might not see any output until tox is complete.
Information about tox can be found here: http://testrun.org/tox/latest/
Tox will run your entire test suite in the environments specified in the project tox.ini:
[tox] envlist = <list of available environments>
To run the test suite in just one of the environments in envlist execute:
$ tox -e <env>
so for example, run the test suite with the default OS version of Python 3:
$ tox -e py3
or select a specific version, run the test suite using Python 3.6:
$ tox -e py36
Other useful tox options that can be specified when running the test suite are:
-v to increase verbosity of the output, can be repeated up to three times based on the desired verbosity level -r to recreate the virtual environment from scratch
To run individual tests with tox:
if testr is in tox.ini, for example:
[testenv]
includes "python setup.py testr --slowest --testr-args='{posargs}'"
run individual tests with the following syntax:
$ tox -e <env> -- path.to.module:Class.test
so for example, run the cpu_limited test in Nova:
$ tox -e py36 -- nova.tests.test_claims:ClaimTestCase.test_cpu_unlimited
if nose is in tox.ini, for example:
[testenv]
includes "nosetests {posargs}"
run individual tests with the following syntax:
$ tox -e <env> -- --tests path.to.module:Class.test
so for example, run the list test in Glance:
$ tox -e py36 -- --tests glance.tests.unit.test_auth.py:TestImageRepoProxy.test_list
