gitlab-org / coming-soon

This document provides a detailed step-by-step guide for running tests in the gitlab-org/coming-soon project. Before proceeding with the testing instructions, ensure that the project is correctly set up on your local machine.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure you have the necessary development environment installed, including relevant dependencies.
  • Confirm that you have cloned the repository to your local machine.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Make sure all the required dependencies are installed. This project utilizes a package manager for dependency management. Run the following command in your terminal:

npm install

This command will read package.json and install all the required packages needed for the project.

Step 2: Running the Tests

In this project, tests are defined using a testing framework. You can run the test suite with the following command:

npm test

This command will trigger the testing scripts defined in the package.json file under the scripts section, typically pointing to the testing framework being used.

Step 3: Reviewing Test Results

After running the tests, the terminal will display the results. In case some tests fail, examine the output for details on which tests did not pass. Review the stack traces or error messages provided to help identify the issues.

Example output could resemble the following:

Test Suites: 1 failed, 1 passed, 2 total
Tests:       3 failed, 10 passed, 13 total
Snapshots:   0 total
Time:        5.612 s, estimated 6 s

Step 4: Debugging Failed Tests

Should you encounter any failing tests, consider the following debugging steps:

  1. Inspect the test case implementation for logical errors.
  2. Check associated components or functions to verify they return the expected outputs.
  3. Confirm that the testing environment mimics production configurations as closely as possible.

Step 5: Re-running Specific Tests

If you wish to run only specific tests, you can do so by specifying the test file or using a test name pattern. For example:

npm test -- test/file/path.spec.js

or

npm test -- -t 'name of the test'

Adjust the path and test name according to your project structure and requirements.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to run tests for the gitlab-org/coming-soon project effectively. Regularly running tests can help ensure the stability and reliability of the codebase.
