Running the tests

Install python requirements

$ pip install -r conans/requirements.txt
$ pip install -r conans/requirements_server.txt
$ pip install -r conans/requirements_dev.txt

Only in OSX:

$ pip install -r conans/requirements_osx.txt # You can omit this one if not running OSX

If you are not Windows and you are not using a python virtual environment, you will need to run these commands using sudo.

Before you can run the tests, you need to set a few environment variables first.

$ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)

On Windows it would be (while being in the conan root directory):

$ set PYTHONPATH=.

Ensure that your cmake has version 2.8 or later. You can see the version with the following command:

$ cmake --version

The appropriate values of CONAN_COMPILER and CONAN_COMPILER_VERSION depend on your operating system and your requirements.

These should work for the GCC from build-essential on Ubuntu 14.04:

$ export CONAN_COMPILER=gcc
$ export CONAN_COMPILER_VERSION=4.8

These should work for OS X:

$ export CONAN_COMPILER=clang
$ export CONAN_COMPILER_VERSION=3.5

Finally, there are some tests that use conan to package Go-lang libraries, so you might need to install go-lang in your computer and add it to the path.

You can run the actual tests like this:

$ nosetests .

There are a couple of test attributes defined, as slow, or golang that you can use to filter the tests, and do not execute them:

$ nosetests . -a !golang

A few minutes later it should print OK:

............................................................................................
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 146 tests in 50.993s

OK

To run specific tests, you can specify the test name too, something like:

$ nosetests conans.test.command.config_install_test:ConfigInstallTest.install_file_test --nocapture

The --nocapture argument can be useful to see some output that otherwise is captured by nosetests.
