# novelWriter Tests
The test suite uses PyTest for testing.
## Dependencies
* `python3-pytest` for the basic framework (required)
* `python3-pytestqt` for Qt support (required)
* `python3-pytest-cov` for code coverage reports (optional)
* `python3-pytest-xvfb` for headless tests (optional)
## HowTo
### Basic Usage
To run all tests, type:
```bash
pytest-3 -v
```
The `-v` switch enables verbose mode, with one test per line.
For a more compact view, omit this switch.
### Headless
To run tests in headless mode, either use the Qt `offscreen` mode:
```bash
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen
```
or run with `xvfb`:
```bash
xvfb-run pytest-3 -v
```
### Test Coverage
To add test coverage, run the following:
```bash
pytest-3 -v --cov=nw --cov-report=html
```
The `--cov-report` switch generates an html report, omit it to print a coverage summary to the terminal.
The html coverage report will be available in the `htmlcov` folder.
### Test Markers (Categories)
To run with specific test markers, add the `-m` switch:
```bash
pytest-3 -v -m core
```
Available markers are:
* '`core`' for test covering the classes in the `nw/core` folder
## Tests
To filter specific groups of tests, use the `-k` switch.
The commands for the respective test categories are listed below.
| Type | Test Target | Source File(s) | Marker | Filter |
| :--- | :------------- | :--------------- | :-------- | :----------------- |
| Unit | Core functions | nw/core/tools.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreTools` |
| Unit | NWIndex class | nw/core/index.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreIndex` |
| Unit | NWItem class | nw/core/item.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreItem` |
| Unit | NWTree class | nw/core/tree.py | `-m core` | `-k testCoreTree` |
