Compile Tests
*************
.. contents:: Topics
Overview
========
Compile tests check source files for valid syntax on all supported python versions:
- 2.4 (Ansible 2.3 only)
- 2.6
- 2.7
- 3.5
- 3.6
Running compile tests locally
=============================
Unit tests can be run across the whole code base by doing:
.. code:: shell
cd /path/to/ansible/source
source hacking/env-setup
ansible-test compile
Against a single file by doing:
.. code:: shell
ansible-test compile lineinfile
Or against a specific Python version by doing:
.. code:: shell
ansible-test compile --python 2.7 lineinfile
For advanced usage see the online help:
.. code:: shell
ansible-test units --help
For advanced options see ``ansible-test compile --help``
Installing dependencies
=======================
``ansible-test`` has a number of dependencies , for ``compile`` tests we suggest running the tests with ``--local``, which is the default
The dependencies can be installed using the ``-requirements`` argument. For example:
.. code:: shell
ansible-test units --requirements lineinfile
The full list of requirements can be found at `test/runner/requirements <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/test/runner/requirements>`_. Requirements files are named after their respective commands. See also the `constraints <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/test/runner/requirements/constraints.txt>`_ applicable to all commands.
Extending compile tests
=======================
If you believe changes are needed to the Compile tests please add a comment on the `Testing Working Group Agenda <https://github.com/ansible/community/blob/master/MEETINGS.md>`_ so it can be discussed.
