Testing
The build automatically runs the following:
- make sure the built-in packages compile
pxt runinlibs/lang-test*- this will run the test in command line runner; there is a number of asserts in both of thesepxt testdirintests- this makes sure all the files compile and generates .hex files- run the TD->TS converter on a number of test scripts from
microbit.co.ukand make sure the results compile
To test something on the device:
- do a
pxt deployinlibs/lang-test*- they should show1or2on the screen (and not unhappy face) - run
pxt testdirintestsand deploy some of the hex files fromtests/built
The lang-test0 source comes from the pxt-core package. It's also tested with pxt run there.
