Exercism Python Test Runner

The Docker image to automatically run tests on Python solutions submitted to exercism.

Running the Tests

To run all of the tests, do the following:

1. Open a terminal in the project's root
2. Run pytest

These are golden tests that compare the results.json generated by running the current state of the code against the "known good" test/<test-name>/results.json. All files created during the test run itself are discarded.

When you've made modifications to the code that will result in a new "golden" state, you'll need to generate and commit a new test/<test-name>/results.json file.

Generating results.json for an Exercise

To run the tests of an arbitrary exercise, do the following:

1. Open a terminal in the project's root
2. Run ./bin/run.sh <exercise-slug> <path/to/solution/dir/ </path/to/output/dir/>

Generating results.json for an Exercise with Docker

This script is provided for testing purposes.

To run the tests of an arbitrary exercise using the Docker container, do the following:

1. Open a terminal in the project's root
2. Run ./bin/run-in-docker.sh <exercise-slug> <./relative/path/to/solution/dir/> <./relative/path/to/output/dir/>

Note: the solution and output directory's MUST be relative paths!
