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.address.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.address.storage.WorkoutPlannerStorageManagerTest

  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.address.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.
