# 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 that 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 tests in a specific process, run `npm run test --runners=PROCESS`
where `PROCESS` is one of `main` or `remote`.
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 third_party\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://docs.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%.
