stevedunn / pacmanblazor

To run tests for the stevedunn/pacmanblazor project, follow the detailed steps outlined below.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have the following installed on your development machine:

  • .NET SDK (appropriate version for the project)
  • A compatible IDE such as Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code
  • Node.js (if JavaScript-based tests are included)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

Begin by cloning the repository from GitHub to your local development environment.

git clone https://github.com/stevedunn/pacmanblazor.git
cd pacmanblazor

2. Restore Dependencies

Before running tests, make sure to restore all dependencies included in the project.

dotnet restore

3. Build the Project

Building the project compiles the code and ensures that all dependencies are correctly configured.

dotnet build

4. Running Unit Tests

If the project contains unit tests, you can run them using the following command:

dotnet test

This command will discover and execute all the tests located within the test projects of the solution.

5. Viewing Test Results

Once the tests have been executed, you will see a summary of the results in the console. A successful run will indicate that all tests passed, while any failures will provide detailed information about failed tests, including which tests failed and the reason for the failure.

6. Debugging Tests (Optional)

For debugging specific tests, you can run your tests within an IDE like Visual Studio. Set breakpoints in your test methods and:

  • Use the Test Explorer to run the tests in debug mode.
  • Observe the execution flow to troubleshoot any issues.

7. Running JavaScript Tests

If you have JavaScript tests written in the project, navigate to the directory containing your JavaScript test files and run the following command:

npm install
npm test

Ensure that your JavaScript testing framework (such as Jest or Mocha) is correctly configured in the project before executing these commands.

8. Continuous Integration (Optional)

If you are utilizing a CI/CD pipeline, integrate the dotnet test command into your build scripts to ensure that all tests are automatically run with each commit.

Conclusion

Following these steps will enable you to effectively run tests in the stevedunn/pacmanblazor project. It is essential to keep your development environment consistent with the project requirements and to regularly validate the integrity of the code through testing.
