Hi,

You can put backend tests in plugins/your_plugin/backend/spec

Any files in there called *_spec.rb will be run on build/run backend:test


Cheers,
James

Christina,

I'm unaware of any way to implement plugin tests into ASpace's existing
test infrastructure.  What we did was write RSpec tests outside of the
ASpace release, which start the application (with our plugins), populate it
with data via the API, and check the outputs of common tasks against
fixtures.  There's probably a better way of doing this (e.g. packaging the
tests in the plugin directory, and having RSpec pull them out, instead of
having them all in a big spec directory), but so far this has worked for us.

Thanks,
--Alex

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Automated Tests for Plugins?

[Cortland, Christina Rosalie]

Hi all,

We wanted to explore adding automated tests for our locally developed plugins 
and were curious how other institutions approached this. I know ArchivesSpace 
has its own test suite that folks who develop on ArchivesSpace can use, but how 
do institutions who develop their own plugins test their custom functionality, 
especially when upgrading to a new ASpace release?

Thanks,
