12 dune test is an alias for dune runtest.
13 See dune runtest --help for details.
15
17 --action-stderr-on-success=VAL
18 Same as --action-stdout-on-success but for the standard output for
19 error messages. A good default for large mono-repositories is
20 --action-stdout-on-success=swallow
21 --action-stderr-on-success=must-be-empty. This ensures that a
22 successful build has a "clean" empty output.
23 --action-stdout-on-success=VAL
25 Specify how to deal with the standard output of actions when they
26 succeed. Possible values are: print to just print it to Dune's
27 output, swallow to completely ignore it and must-be-empty to
28 enforce that the action printed nothing. With must-be-empty, Dune
29 will consider that the action failed if it printed something to its
30 standard output. The default is print.
31 --build-info
33 Show build information.
34 --display-separate-messages
36 Separate error messages with a blank line.
37 --error-reporting=VAL (absent=deterministic)
39 Controls when the build errors are reported. early - report errors
40 as soon as they are discovered. deterministic - report errors at
41 the end of the build in a deterministic order. twice - report each
42 error twice: once as soon as the error is discovered and then again
43 at the end of the build, in a deterministic order.
44 -f, --force
46 Force actions associated to aliases to be re-executed even if their
47 dependencies haven't changed.
48 --file-watcher=VAL (absent=automatic)
50 Mechanism to detect changes in the source. Automatic to make dune
51 run an external program to detect changes. Manual to notify dune
52 that files have changed manually."
53 --passive-watch-mode
55 Similar to [--watch], but only start a build when instructed
56 externally by an RPC.
57 --react-to-insignificant-changes
59 react to insignificant file system changes; this is only useful for
60 benchmarking dune
61 --sandbox=VAL (absent DUNE_SANDBOX env)
63 Sandboxing mode to use by default. Some actions require a certain
64 sandboxing mode, so they will ignore this setting. The allowed
65 values are: none, symlink, copy, hardlink.
66 -w, --watch
68 Instead of terminating build after completion, wait continuously
69 for file changes.
70 --wait-for-filesystem-clock
72 Dune digest file contents for better incrementally. These digests
73 are themselves cached. In some cases, Dune needs to drop some
74 digest cache entries in order for things to be reliable. This
75 option makes Dune wait for the file system clock to advance so that
76 it doesn't need to drop anything. You should probably not care
77 about this option; it is mostly useful for Dune developers to make
78 Dune tests of the digest cache more reproducible.
79
81 These options are common to all commands.
82 --always-show-command-line
84 Always show the full command lines of programs executed by dune
85 --auto-promote
87 Automatically promote files. This is similar to running dune
88 promote after the build.
89 --build-dir=FILE (absent DUNE_BUILD_DIR env)
91 Specified build directory. _build if unspecified
92 --cache=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE env)
94 Enable or disable Dune cache (either enabled or disabled). Default
95 is `disabled'.
96 --cache-check-probability=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE_CHECK_PROBABILITY env)
98 Check build reproducibility by re-executing randomly chosen rules
99 and comparing their results with those stored in Dune cache. Note:
100 by increasing the probability of such checks you slow down the
101 build. The default probability is zero, i.e. no rules are checked.
102 --cache-storage-mode=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE_STORAGE_MODE env)
104 Dune cache storage mode (one of auto, hardlink or copy). Default is
105 `auto'.
106 --config-file=FILE
108 Load this configuration file instead of the default one.
109 --debug-artifact-substitution
111 Print debugging info about artifact substitution
112 --debug-backtraces
114 Always print exception backtraces.
115 --debug-cache=VAL
117 Show debug messages on cache misses for the given cache layers.
118 Value is a comma-separated list of cache layer names. All available
119 cache layers: shared,workspace-local,fs.
120 --debug-dependency-path
122 In case of error, print the dependency path from the targets on the
123 command line to the rule that failed.
124 --debug-digests
126 Explain why Dune decides to re-digest some files
127 --debug-load-dir
129 Print debugging info about directory loading
130 --debug-store-digest-preimage
132 Store digest preimage for all computed digests, so that it's
133 possible to reverse them later, for debugging. The digests are
134 stored in the shared cache (see --cache flag) as values, even if
135 cache is otherwise disabled. This should be used only for
136 debugging, since it's slow and it litters the shared cache.
137 --default-target=TARGET (absent=@@default)
139 Set the default target that when none is specified to dune build.
140 --diff-command=VAL (absent DUNE_DIFF_COMMAND env)
142 Shell command to use to diff files. Use - to disable printing the
143 diff.
144 --disable-promotion (absent DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION env)
146 Disable all promotion rules
147 --display=MODE
149 Control the display mode of Dune. See dune-config(5) for more
150 details. Valid values for this option are progress, verbose, short,
151 quiet or tui.
152 --dump-gc-stats=FILE
154 Dump the garbage collector stats to a file after the build is
155 complete.
156 --dump-memo-graph=FILE
158 Dumps the dependency graph to a file after the build is complete
159 --dump-memo-graph-format=FORMAT (absent=gexf)
161 File format to be used when dumping dependency graph
162 --dump-memo-graph-with-timing
164 With --dump-memo-graph, will re-run each cached node in the Memo
165 graph after building and include the runtime in the output. Since
166 all nodes contain a cached value, this will measure just the
167 runtime of each node
168 --help[=FMT] (default=auto)
170 Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of auto,
171 pager, groff or plain. With auto, the format is pager or plain
172 whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined.
173 --ignore-promoted-rules
175 Ignore rules with (mode promote), except ones with (only ...). The
176 variable %{ignoring_promoted_rules} in dune files reflects whether
177 this option was passed or not.
178 --instrument-with=BACKENDS (absent DUNE_INSTRUMENT_WITH env)
180 "Enable instrumentation by BACKENDS. BACKENDS is a comma-separated
181 list of library names, each one of which must declare an
182 instrumentation backend.
183 -j JOBS
185 Run no more than JOBS commands simultaneously.
186 --no-buffer
188 Do not buffer the output of commands executed by dune. By default
189 dune buffers the output of subcommands, in order to prevent
190 interleaving when multiple commands are executed in parallel.
191 However, this can be an issue when debugging long running tests.
192 With --no-buffer, commands have direct access to the terminal. Note
193 that as a result their output won't be captured in the log file.
194 You should use this option in conjunction with -j 1, to avoid
195 interleaving. Additionally you should use --verbose as well, to
196 make sure that commands are printed before they are being executed.
197 --no-config
199 Do not load the configuration file
200 --no-print-directory
202 Suppress "Entering directory" messages
203 --only-packages=PACKAGES
205 Ignore stanzas referring to a package that is not in PACKAGES.
206 PACKAGES is a comma-separated list of package names. Note that this
207 has the same effect as deleting the relevant stanzas from dune
208 files. It is mostly meant for releases. During development, it is
209 likely that what you want instead is to build a particular
210 <package>.install target.
211 -p PACKAGES, --for-release-of-packages=PACKAGES (required)
213 Shorthand for --release --only-packages PACKAGE. You must use this
214 option in your <package>.opam files, in order to build only what's
215 necessary when your project contains multiple packages as well as
216 getting reproducible builds.
217 --print-metrics
219 Print out various performance metrics after every build
220 --profile=VAL (absent DUNE_PROFILE env)
222 Select the build profile, for instance dev or release. The default
223 is dev.
224 --promote-install-files[=VAL] (default=true)
226 Promote the generated <package>.install files to the source tree
227 --release
229 Put dune into a reproducible release mode. This is in fact a
230 shorthand for --root . --ignore-promoted-rules --no-config
231 --profile release --always-show-command-line
232 --promote-install-files --default-target @install
233 --require-dune-project-file. You should use this option for release
234 builds. For instance, you must use this option in your
235 <package>.opam files. Except if you already use -p, as -p implies
236 this option.
237 --require-dune-project-file[=VAL] (default=true)
239 Fail if a dune-project file is missing.
240 --root=DIR
242 Use this directory as workspace root instead of guessing it. Note
243 that this option doesn't change the interpretation of targets given
244 on the command line. It is only intended for scripts.
245 --store-orig-source-dir (absent DUNE_STORE_ORIG_SOURCE_DIR env)
247 Store original source location in dune-package metadata
248 --terminal-persistence=MODE
250 Changes how the log of build results are displayed to the console
251 between rebuilds while in --watch mode. Supported modes: preserve,
252 clear-on-rebuild, clear-on-rebuild-and-flush-history.
253 --trace-extended
255 Output extended trace data (requires trace-file)
256 --trace-file=FILE
258 Output trace data in catapult format (compatible with
259 chrome://tracing)
260 --verbose
262 Same as --display verbose
263 --version
265 Show version information.
266 --watch-exclusions=REGEX
268 Adds a POSIX regular expression that will exclude matching
269 directories from `dune build --watch`. The option
270 --watch-exclusions can be repeated to add multiple exclusions.
271 Semicolons can be also used as a separator. If no exclusions are
272 provided, then a standard set of exclusions is used; however, if
273 one or more --watch-exclusions are used, none of the standard
274 exclusions are used. The standard exclusions are: ^_opam /_opam
275 ^_esy /_esy ^\.#.* /\.#.* ~$ ^#[^#]*#$ /#[^#]*#$ ^4913$ /4913$
276 /.git /.hg :/windows
277 --workspace=FILE (absent DUNE_WORKSPACE env)
279 Use this specific workspace file instead of looking it up.
280 -x VAL
282 Cross-compile using this toolchain.
283
285 Use `dune COMMAND --help' for help on a single command.
286
288 test exits with the following status:
289 0 on success.
291 1 if an error happened.
293 130 if it was interrupted by a signal.
295

301 DUNE_CACHE
303 Enable or disable Dune cache (either enabled or disabled). Default
304 is `disabled'.
305 DUNE_CACHE_CHECK_PROBABILITY
307 Check build reproducibility by re-executing randomly chosen rules
308 and comparing their results with those stored in Dune cache. Note:
309 by increasing the probability of such checks you slow down the
310 build. The default probability is zero, i.e. no rules are checked.
311 DUNE_CACHE_STORAGE_MODE
313 Dune cache storage mode (one of auto, hardlink or copy). Default is
314 `auto'.
