OLX Test Runner

Validate command

Overview

Validate command validates whether tests are properly formatted.

All tests should:

  1. Be wrapped in groups.
  2. Have setUp, setUpAll, tearDown, tearDownAll functions in groups.

Not following these will result in flaky tests.

Command reference

You can run the validate command using the following syntax:

dart pub global run olx_test_runner validate <options>

Available Options

  • --test-path (Required): Specifies the path to the directory containing the test files to be validated. This ensures only relevant tests are targeted during validation.

Example

Terminal window
dart pub global run olx_test_runner validate --test-path ./test_files
Terminal window
