#+Title: Org-mode Testing
#+Babel: results silent
The following instructions describe how to get started using the
Org-mode test framework.
1) Install the jump.el testing dependency which is included as a git
submodule in the org-mode repository. To do so run the following
git submodule commands from inside the base of the Org-mode
directory (or just execute the following code block).
#+begin_src sh
cd ..
git submodule init
git submodule update
#+end_src
2) Load the [[file:org-test.el][org-test.el]] file
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(load-file "org-test.el")
#+end_src
3) The =org-test-jump= command is now bound to =M-C-j= in all
emacs-lisp files. Call this command from any file in the =lisp/=
directory of the org-mode repository to jump to the related test
file in the =testing/= directory. Call this functions with a
prefix argument, and the corresponding test file will be stubbed
out if it doesn't already exist.
4) Ingest the library-of-babel.org file since some tests require this.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(org-babel-lob-ingest "../contrib/babel/library-of-babel.org")
#+end_src
5) [[info:ert#Top][Review the ERT documentation]]
6) A number of org-mode-specific functions and macros are provided in
=org-test.el= see the [[file:org-test.el::%3B%3B%3B%20Functions%20for%20writing%20tests][;;; Functions for Writing Tests]] subsection of
that file. Some of these functions make use of example org-mode
files located in the [[file:examples][examples/]] directory.
7) Functions for loading and running the Org-mode tests are provided
in the [[file:org-test.el::%3B%3B%3B%20Load%20and%20Run%20tests][;;; Load and Run Tests]] subsection, the most important of
which are
- =org-test-load= which loads the entire Org-mode test suite
- =org-test-current-defun= which runs all tests for the current
function around point (should be called from inside of an
Org-mode elisp file)
- =org-test-run-all-tests= which runs the entire Org-mode test suite
- also note that the =ert= command can also be used to run tests
8) Load and run all tests
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(load-file "org-test.el")
(org-babel-lob-ingest "../contrib/babel/library-of-babel.org")
(org-test-load)
(org-test-run-all-tests)
