Running the tests

The runtime comes with a comprehensive set of unit-tests (*_test.go). However, there are many other classes of tests which are stored in a separate tests repository.

If you wish to run all the tests (as the CI system does), it is very easy. However, please see the warning below BEFORE you run these commands:

$ go get -d github.com/clearcontainers/runtime
$ .ci/setup.sh && .ci/run.sh; .ci/teardown.sh

The commands above will perform all setup (including cloning the tests repository), run all classes of test and display any problems at the end.

⚠️ WARNING: ⚠️

• It is NOT advisable to run the above on a system you care about since the tests are aggressive and run as the root user. If you still wish to run the entire suite of tests, the best advice is to run them inside a virtual machine, or on a non-essential system.
