[05:28] <guruprasad> xnox, running the unit tests requires setting up the Launchpad dev environment - see https://launchpad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how-to/running.html. You will have to do everything till the 'Running' section on that page. Then you can refer https://dev.launchpad.net/Testing for the instructions on running the whole test suite or a subset of tests.
[07:14] <guruprasad> We run the full test suite on external CI after every merge before the change is added to our stable branches.
[07:15] <guruprasad> The full test suite takes a few hours to run on my laptop. It might run quicker on better hardware and it runs in ~1 hour on buildbot, which is where we run the post-merge checks.
[08:09] <jugmac00> xnox: running a single test goes like this:
[08:09] <jugmac00> bin/with-xvfb bin/test -vvct <identifier>
[09:45] <xnox> excellent thank you both.
[09:46] <xnox> maybe a link to dev.launchpad.net/Testing from the readthedocs would be nice. Where abouts is the sourcecode for launchpad readthedocs site?
[09:57] <jugmac00> xnox: it is inside the Launchpad code base.. and we are in midst of moving the documentation, though it will take some time. Thanks for considering to contributing.
