### Tests ###
|
||||
|
||||
Home Manager includes a basic test suite and it is highly recommended
|
||||
to include at least one test when adding a module. Tests are typically
|
||||
in the form of "golden tests" where, for example, a generated
|
||||
configuration file is compared to a known correct file.
|
||||
|
||||
It is relatively easy to create tests by modeling the existing tests,
|
||||
found in the `tests` project directory.
|
||||
|
||||
The full Home Manager test suite can be run by executing
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A run.all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
in the project root. List all test cases through
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and run an individual test, for example `alacritty-empty-settings`,
|
||||
through
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A run.alacritty-empty-settings
|
||||
```
