dh_auto_test - automatically runs a package's test suites
dh_auto_test [
build system options]
[

-- params]
dh_auto_test is a debhelper program that tries to automatically run a
package's test suite. It does so by running the appropriate command for the
build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a Makefile
and it contains a
test or
check target, then this is done by
running
make (or
MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If
the test suite fails, the command will exit nonzero. If there's no test suite,
it will exit zero without doing anything.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages with a test suite. If it
doesn't work, you're encouraged to skip using
dh_auto_test at all, and
just run the test suite manually.
See "
BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in
debhelper(7) for a list
of common build system selection and control options.
-
-- params
- Pass params to the program that is run, after the
parameters that dh_auto_test usually passes.
If the
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable contains
nocheck, no
tests will be performed.
