1. Running Tests

There are two ways to run tests.

Method 1: Using IntelliJ JUnit test runner

  • To run all tests, right-click on the src/test/java folder and choose Run 'All Tests'

  • To run a subset of tests, you can right-click on a test package, test class, or a test and choose Run 'ABC'

Method 2: Using Gradle

  • Open a console and run the command gradlew clean test (Mac/Linux: ./gradlew clean test)

See UsingGradle.adoc for more info on how to run tests using Gradle.

2. Types of tests

We have three types of tests:

  1. Unit tests targeting the lowest level methods/classes.
    e.g. seedu.billboard.commons.StringUtilTest

  2. Integration tests that are checking the integration of multiple code units (those code units are assumed to be working).
    e.g. seedu.billboard.storage.StorageManagerTest

  3. Hybrids of unit and integration tests. These test are checking multiple code units as well as how the are connected together.
    e.g. seedu.billboard.logic.LogicManagerTest

3. Troubleshooting Testing

Problem: Keyboard and mouse movements are not simulated on macOS Mojave, resulting in GUI Tests failure.

  • Reason: From macOS Mojave onwards, applications without Accessibility permission cannot simulate certain keyboard and mouse movements.

  • Solution: Open System Preferences, click Security and Privacy → Privacy → Accessibility, and check the box beside Intellij IDEA.
