dh_auto_test − automatically runs a package’s test suites
dh_auto_test [build system options] [debhelper options] [−− params]
dh_auto_test is a debhelper program that tries to automatically run a package’s test suite. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there’s a Makefile and it contains a "test" or "check" target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE , if the environment variable is set). If the test suite fails, the command will exit nonzero. If there’s no test suite, it will exit zero without doing anything.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages with a test suite. If it doesn’t work, you’re encouraged to skip using dh_auto_test at all, and just run the test suite manually.
See "
BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS " in
debhelper(7) for a list of common build system
selection and control options.
−− params
Pass "params" to the program that is run. These can be used to supplement or override the any standard parameters that dh_auto_test passes.
If the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable contains "nocheck", no tests will be performed.
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
