# Unit Tests

## Run (inside Electron)

	./scripts/test.[sh|bat]

All unit tests are run inside a electron-browser environment which access to DOM and Nodejs api. This is the closest to the environment in which VS Code itself ships. Notes:

- use the `--debug` to see an electron window with dev tools which allows for debugging
- to run only a subset of tests use the `--run` or `--glob` options

For instance, `./scripts/test.sh --debug --glob **/extHost*.test.js` runs all tests from `extHost`-files and enables you to debug them.

## Run (inside browser)

	yarn test-browser --browser webkit --browser chromium

Unit tests from layers `common` and `browser` are run inside `chromium`, `webkit`, and (soon’ish) `firefox` (using playwright). This complements our electron-based unit test runner and adds more coverage of supported platforms. Notes:

- these tests are part of the continuous build, that means you might have test failures that only happen with webkit on _windows_ or _chromium_ on linux
- you can run these tests locally via yarn `test-browser --browser chromium --browser webkit`
- to debug, open  `<vscode>/test/unit/browser/renderer.html` inside a browser and use the `?m=<amd_module>`-query to specify what AMD module to load, e.g `file:///Users/jrieken/Code/vscode/test/unit/browser/renderer.html?m=vs/base/test/common/strings.test` runs all tests from `strings.test.ts`
- to run only a subset of tests use the `--run` or `--glob` options

## Run (with node)

	yarn run mocha --run src/vs/editor/test/browser/controller/cursor.test.ts


## Coverage

The following command will create a `coverage` folder at the root of the workspace:

**OS X and Linux**

	./scripts/test.sh --coverage

**Windows**

	scripts\test --coverage
