6 bdep-test - test project in build configurations

9 bdep test [options] [pkg-spec] [cfg-spec] [cfg-var...]
10 cfg-spec = (@cfg-name | --config|-c cfg-dir)... | --all|-a
12 pkg-spec = (--directory|-d pkg-dir)... | prj-spec
13 prj-spec = --directory|-d prj-dir

16 The test command tests the project packages in one or more build con‐
17 figurations. Additionally, immediate or all dependencies of the project
18 packages can be tested by specifying the --immediate|-i or --recur‐
19 sive|-r options, respectively.
20 Underneath test executes the bpkg-pkg-test(1) command which itself is
22 not much more than the build system test operation (see b(1) for de‐
23 tails). As a result, the main utility of this command is the ability to
24 refer to build configurations by names and to project packages implic‐
25 itly via the current working directory as well as to test dependencies.
26 If no project or package directory is specified, then the current work‐
28 ing directory is assumed. If no configuration is specified, then the
29 default configurations are assumed. See bdep-projects-configs(1) for
30 details on specifying projects and configurations. Optional cfg-var...
31 are the additional configuration variables to pass to the build system.
32
34 --immediate|-i
35 Also test immediate dependencies.
36 --recursive|-r
38 Also test all dependencies, recursively.
39 --all|-a
41 Use all build configurations.
42 --config|-c dir
44 Specify the build configuration as a directory.
45 --directory|-d dir
47 Assume project/package is in the specified directory rather than
48 in the current working directory.
49 --config-name|-n name
51 Specify the build configuration as a name.
52 --config-id num
54 Specify the build configuration as an id.

57 The common options are summarized below with a more detailed descrip‐
58 tion available in bdep-common-options(1).
59 -v Print essential underlying commands being executed.
61 -V Print all underlying commands being executed.

65 Run quietly, only printing error messages.
66 --verbose level

69 --jobs|-j num
71 Number of jobs to perform in parallel.
72 --no-progress
74 Suppress progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such
75 as network transfers, building, etc.
76 --bpkg path
78 The package manager program to be used for build configuration
79 management.
80 --bpkg-option opt
82 Additional option to be passed to the package manager program.
83 --build path
85 The build program to be used to build packages.
86 --build-option opt
88 Additional option to be passed to the build program.
89 --curl path
91 The curl program to be used for network operations.
92 --curl-option opt
94 Additional option to be passed to the curl program.
95 --pager path
97 The pager program to be used to show long text.
98 --pager-option opt
100 Additional option to be passed to the pager program.
101 --options-file file
103 Read additional options from file.
104 --default-options dir
106 The directory to load additional default options files from.
107 --no-default-options
109 Don't load default options files.
110
112 See bdep-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default op‐
113 tions files. For the test command the search start directory is the
114 project directory. The following options files are searched for in each
115 directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed:
116 bdep.options
118 bdep-test.options
119 The following test command options cannot be specified in the default
121 options files:
122 --directory|-d
