Testing Yosys
=============
.. TODO:: more about the included test suite and how to add tests
Automatic testing
-----------------
.. only:: html
The `Yosys Git repo`_ has automatic testing of builds and running of the
included test suite on the following platforms:
- Ubuntu |test-linux|
- macOS |test-macos|
.. _Yosys Git repo: https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys
.. |test-linux| image:: https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/actions/workflows/test-linux.yml/badge.svg?branch=main
.. |test-macos| image:: https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/actions/workflows/test-macos.yml/badge.svg?branch=main
For up to date information, including OS versions, refer to `the git actions
page`_.

How to add a unit test
----------------------
Unit test brings some advantages, briefly, we can list some of them (reference
[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing)):
* Tests reduce bugs in new features;
* Tests reduce bugs in existing features;
* Tests are good documentation;
* Tests reduce the cost of change;
* Tests allow refactoring;
With those advantages in mind, it was required to choose a framework which fits
well with C/C++ code. Hence, it was chosen (google test)
[https://github.com/google/googletest], because it is largely used and it is
relatively easy learn.
Install and configure google test (manually)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this section, you will see a brief description of how to install google
test. However, it is strongly recommended that you take a look to the official
repository (https://github.com/google/googletest) and refers to that if you
have any problem to install it. Follow the steps below:
* Install: cmake and pthread
* Clone google test project from: https://github.com/google/googletest and
enter in the project directory
* Inside project directory, type:
```
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON .
make
```
* After compilation, copy all "*.so" inside directory "googlemock" and
"googlemock/gtest" to "/usr/lib/"
* Done! Now you can compile your tests.
If you have any problem, go to the official repository to find help.
Ps.: Some distros already have googletest packed. If your distro supports it,
you can use it instead of compile.
Create a new unit test
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to add new unit tests for Yosys, just follow the steps below:
* Go to directory "yosys/test/unit/"
* In this directory you can find something similar Yosys's directory structure.
To create your unit test file you have to follow this pattern:
fileNameToImplementUnitTest + Test.cc. E.g.: if you want to implement the
unit test for kernel/celledges.cc, you will need to create a file like this:
tests/unit/kernel/celledgesTest.cc;
* Implement your unit test
Run unit tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To compile and run all unit tests, just go to yosys root directory and type:
```
make unit-test
```
If you want to remove all unit test files, type:
```
make clean-unit-test
```
