# Testing
|
||
|
||
We aim to keep the code coverage of Electron high. We ask that all pull
|
||
request not only pass all existing tests, but ideally also add new tests
|
||
to cover changed code and new scenarios. Ensuring that we capture as
|
||
many code paths and use cases of Electron as possible ensures that we
|
||
all ship apps with fewer bugs.
|
||
|
||
This repository comes with linting rules for both JavaScript and C++ –
|
||
as well as unit and integration tests. To learn more about Electron's
|
||
coding style, please see the [coding-style](coding-style.md) document.
|
||
|
||
## Linting
|
||
|
||
To ensure that your changes are in compliance with the Electron coding
|
||
style, run `npm run lint`, which will run a variety of linting checks
|
||
against your changes depending on which areas of the code they touch.
|
||
|
||
Many of these checks are included as precommit hooks, so it's likely
|
||
you error would be caught at commit time.
|
||
|
||
## Unit Tests
|
||
|
||
If you are not using [build-tools](https://github.com/electron/build-tools),
|
||
ensure that the name you have configured for your
|
||
local build of Electron is one of `Testing`, `Release`, `Default`, or
|
||
you have set `process.env.ELECTRON_OUT_DIR`. Without these set, Electron will fail
|
||
to perform some pre-testing steps.
|
||
|
||
To run all unit tests, run `npm run test`. The unit tests are an Electron
|
||
app (surprise!) that can be found in the `spec` folder. Note that it has
|
||
its own `package.json` and that its dependencies are therefore not defined
|
||
in the top-level `package.json`.
|
||
|
||
To run only specific tests matching a pattern, run `npm run test --
|
||
-g=PATTERN`, replacing the `PATTERN` with a regex that matches the tests
|
||
you would like to run. As an example: If you want to run only IPC tests, you
|
||
would run `npm run test -- -g ipc`.
|
||
|
||
## Node.js Smoke Tests
|
||
|
||
If you've made changes that might affect the way Node.js is embedded into Electron,
|
||
we have a test runner that runs all of the tests from Node.js, using Electron's custom fork
|
||
of Node.js.
|
||
|
||
To run all of the Node.js tests:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ node script/node-spec-runner.js
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To run a single Node.js test:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ node script/node-spec-runner.js parallel/test-crypto-keygen
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
where the argument passed to the runner is the path to the test in
|
||
the Node.js source tree.
|
||
|
||
### Testing on Windows 10 devices
|
||
|
||
#### Extra steps to run the unit test:
|
||
|
||
1. Visual Studio 2019 must be installed.
|
||
2. Node headers have to be compiled for your configuration.
|
||
|
||
```powershell
|
||
ninja -C out\Testing electron:node_headers
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. The electron.lib has to be copied as node.lib.
|
||
|
||
```powershell
|
||
cd out\Testing
|
||
mkdir gen\node_headers\Release
|
||
copy electron.lib gen\node_headers\Release\node.lib
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Missing fonts
|
||
|
||
[Some Windows 10 devices](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/fonts/windows_10_font_list) do not ship with the Meiryo font installed, which may cause a font fallback test to fail. To install Meiryo:
|
||
|
||
1. Push the Windows key and search for _Manage optional features_.
|
||
2. Click _Add a feature_.
|
||
3. Select _Japanese Supplemental Fonts_ and click _Install_.
|
||
|
||
#### Pixel measurements
|
||
|
||
Some tests which rely on precise pixel measurements may not work correctly on
|
||
devices with Hi-DPI screen settings due to floating point precision errors.
|
||
To run these tests correctly, make sure the device is set to 100% scaling.
|
||
|
||
To configure display scaling:
|
||
|
||
1. Push the Windows key and search for _Display settings_.
|
||
2. Under _Scale and layout_, make sure that the device is set to 100%.
