Unit Tests
==========
Nova contains a suite of unit tests, in the nova/tests directory.
Any proposed code change will be automatically rejected by the OpenStack
Jenkins server [#f1]_ if the change causes unit test failures.
Preferred way to run the tests
------------------------------
The preferred way to run the unit tests is using ``tox``. See `the
unit testing section of the Testing wiki page`_ and Nova's HACKING.rst
for more information. Following are some simple examples.
To run the style tests:
tox -e pep8
You can request multiple tests, separated by commas::
tox -e py27,pep8
.. _the unit testing section of the Testing wiki page: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Testing#Unit_Tests
Running a subset of tests
-------------------------
Instead of running all tests, you can specify an individual directory, file,
class, or method that contains test code.
To run the tests in the ``nova/tests/scheduler`` directory::
tox -e py27 nova.tests.scheduler
To run the tests in the ``nova/tests/virt/libvirt/test_libvirt.py`` file::
tox -e py27 test_libvirt
To run the tests in the ``CacheConcurrencyTestCase`` class in
``nova/tests/virt/libvirt/test_libvirt.py``::
tox -e py27 test_libvirt.CacheConcurrencyTestCase
To run the `ValidateIntegerTestCase.test_invalid_inputs` test method in
``nova/tests/test_utils.py``::
tox -epy27 test_utils.ValidateIntegerTestCase.test_invalid_inputs
