=================
Running the Tests
=================
Ceilometer includes an extensive set of automated unit tests which are
run through tox_.
1. Install ``tox``::
$ sudo pip install tox
2. Run the unit and code-style tests::
$ cd /opt/stack/ceilometer
$ tox -e py27,pep8
As tox is a wrapper around testr, it also accepts the same flags as testr.
See the `testr documentation`_ for details about these additional flags.
.. _testr documentation: https://testrepository.readthedocs.org/en/latest/MANUAL.html
Use a double hyphen to pass options to testr. For example, to run only tests
under tests/unit/image::
$ tox -e py27 -- image
To debug tests (ie. break into pdb debugger), you can use ''debug'' tox
environment. Here's an example, passing the name of a test since you'll
normally only want to run the test that hits your breakpoint::
$ tox -e debug ceilometer.tests.unit.test_bin
For reference, the ``debug`` tox environment implements the instructions
here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Testr#Debugging_.28pdb.29_Tests
