Googletest and googlemock frameworks are used for unit testing of openmonero. There is no need to install them, as they are provided with openmonero.
Testing openmonero's operations on MySQL database are performed using
actuall mysql database. For this purpose a testing database with
some pre-populated data is used: openmonero_test. Thus before
tests are run, make sure that openmonero_test database is initilized
using openmonero/sql/openmonero_test.sql file, and database_test contains
information on conneting to the test database in
openmonero/config/config.json.
# go into build folder of openmonero
cd openmonero/build
# indicate that test should be build
cmake -DBUILD_TESTS=ON ..
# compile openmonero with tests
make
# run all tests
make test
# the above command will produce summary of test results (shown below).
# for verbose output, the following command can use used
# make test ARGS=-V
# individual tests executables can also be run. they are located in
# openmonero/build/tests
Example test output is:
mwo@arch:build$ make test
