Run Tests for Your Project

Problem

You want to run a test or test suite that you've written for your project (or several tests or test suites).

Solution

The test goal will run any tests contained in the specified target. Here's an example:

$ ./pants test src/python/myproject/example:tests

For Scala and Java, test suites are defined in junit_tests target definitions, while Python test suites are defined in python_tests definitions. More on these target types can be found in Specify a Test Suite.

Discussion

When you run a test using pants test, the output will indicate whether the test (or set of tests) has succeeded or failed and it will also provide a URL that you can navigate to to see a full report from the test, for example:

http://localhost:57466/run/pants_run_2016_05_22_18_12_43_104
