# testing gitolite
|
|
|
|
Here's how to *run* the tests. **WARNING: they will clobber lots of things in
|
|
your `$HOME`, so be sure to use a throwaway userid**.
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
|
|
cd gitolite
|
|
git checkout -f g3
|
|

|
|
|
|
Gitolite's test suite is mostly written using [tsh][] -- the "testing shell".
|
|
Take a look at some of the scripts and you will see what it looks like. It
|
|
has a few quirks and nuances; if you really care, email me.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The tests also use a somewhat convoluted system of environment variables in
|
|
order to run *entirely* as a local user, without going through ssh at all.
|
|
This lets a complete test suite run in about a fifth or less of the time it
|
|
would otherwise take.
|
|
|
|
If you think that defeats the purpose of the testing, you haven't read
|
|
[this][auth] yet.
|
|
|
|
There are 2 specific tests that deal with ssh though, which are run only on
|
|
request, as you can see above, because they clobber your `~/.ssh`. You have
|
|
been warned.
