NAME

bdep-test – test project in build configurations

SYNOPSIS

bdep test [options] [pkg-spec] [cfg-spec] [cfg-var...]

cfg-spec = (@cfg-name | --config|-c cfg-dir)... | --all|-a
pkg-spec = (pkg | (--directory|-d pkg-dir))... | prj-spec
prj-spec = --directory|-d prj-dir

DESCRIPTION

The test command tests the project packages in one or more build configurations. Additionally, immediate or all dependencies of the project packages can be tested by specifying the --immediate|-i or --recursive|-r options, respectively.

Underneath test executes the bpkg-pkg-test(1) command which itself is not much more than the build system test operation (see b(1) for details). As a result, the main utility of this command is the ability to refer to build configurations by names and to project packages implicitly via the current working directory as well as to test dependencies.

If no project or package directory is specified, then the current working directory is assumed. If no configuration is specified, then the default configurations are assumed. See bdep-projects-configs(1) for details on specifying projects and configurations. Optional cfg-var... are the additional configuration variables to pass to the build system.

TEST OPTIONS

--immediate|-i
Also test immediate dependencies.
--recursive|-r
Also test all dependencies, recursively.
--all|-a
Use all build configurations.
--config|-c dir
Specify the build configuration as a directory.
--directory|-d dir
Assume project/package is in the specified directory rather than in the current working directory.
--config-name|-n name
Specify the build configuration as a name.
--config-id num
Specify the build configuration as an id.

DEFAULT OPTIONS FILES

See bdep-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default options files. For the test command the search start directory is the project directory. The following options files are searched for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed:

bdep.options
bdep-test.options

The following test command options cannot be specified in the default options files:

--directory|-d
