Testing

Polybar uses googletest as its testing and mocking framework. Tests live in the tests/ directory; they can be enabled during cmake with -DBUILD_TESTS=ON and compiled with make all_unit_tests.

Each test gets its own executable in build/tests, which can be executed to run a specific test.

Running all tests is preferably done with the following command:

make check

This runs all available tests and prints the output in color for failed tests only.

Adding New Tests

All new tests need to be added to the tests/CMakeLists.txt file. Have a look at the other unit tests in tests/unit_tests to see how to write tests for your code.
