# Aura Tests
The `/Tests` directory contains a test suite to test some of Aura's functionality.
Because Kha/Kinc currently cannot run in headless mode (see the relevant
[issue](https://github.com/Kode/Kinc/issues/564)) in targets other than node.js
and the node.js target breaks quite often due to Kha updates, the tests currently
run semi-automatically (i.e. they are invoked by the user) on Kha's `debug-html5`
target in Electron. As a consequence, it is currently not possible to run
the tests in a CI pipeline.
## Setup
Running the tests requires node.js which you probably already have installed
since it is required for running Khamake.
If you are using Leenkx, you can instead use the node.js executables included
in the SDK at `<sdk-path>/nodejs`.
## Running the Tests
### Using VSCode/VSCodium
1. Add the `/Tests` directory as a folder to your VSCode workspace
using `File > Add Folder to Workspace`. VSCode unfortunately doesn't search
for task.json files in subdirectories.
2. Press `F1` or `Ctrl + Shift + P` and select `Tasks: Run Test Task`.
> **Note**<br>
> The task automatically picks up the Kha version (and its corresponding
> Electron version) as configured for the Kha extension for VSCode.
### From the Command Line
1. Point the environment variable `KHA_PATH` to the root path of the Kha repository.
2. Point the environment variable `ELECTRON_BIN` to an Electron executable.
3. Run the following on a command line opened in this `/Tests` directory:
```batch
node run.js
```
## Updating Dependencies
The first time the test project is built, all necessary dependencies are
automatically installed. If you want to update them to the newest version,
simply run the following on a command line opened in this `/Tests` directory:
```batch
node install_deps.js
```
## Defines
While the tests are run, the define `AURA_UNIT_TESTS` is set and the assertion
level is set to `AURA_ASSERT_LEVEL=Debug`.
