07:50:17 <rbrunner> I am learning how to execute tests with Monero. I already found out that I can run a certain set of tests by running 'ctest' in a suitable directory, e.g. /tests/unit_tests
07:50:50 <rbrunner> But how would I run a single test in one of the many files that go into "unit_tests", e.g. this one:
07:51:06 <rbrunner> TEST(bulletproofs_plus, valid_zero)
07:51:17 <moneromooo> ./build/wherever/unit_tests/unit_tests --gtest_filter=bulletproofs_plus.valid_zero
07:51:49 <rbrunner> Ah, I see. So I run the test binary, not 'ctest'
07:52:14 <rbrunner> And I guess I could also debug this in the normal way if I want to step through a test?
07:52:51 <moneromooo> Way too much reliance on implicit knowledge for me to answer that.
07:53:21 <moneromooo> Personally, I add lots of logs, run and read.
07:54:04 <moneromooo> Also, running with asan can be nice.
07:54:33 <rbrunner> Alright, thanks. I guess it should be no problem to take that 'unit_tests' binary into a debugger; will just experiment a little.
07:57:18 <rbrunner> Ah, that 'unit_tests' even has a --help option :)
10:38:21 <selsta> rbrunner: yes you can use it normally with a debugger
10:39:24 <selsta> lldb unit_tests -- --gtest_filter=test_epee_connection.test_lifetime
10:39:29 <selsta> I assume gdb syntax is similar
10:40:50 <rbrunner> Yup, it runs without problems also under control of VSCode, with breakpoints, interactive stepping through, looking at variable values, and all. For once something that is simple.
10:41:11 <rbrunner> If you just know how to start the damned things :)
