Unit Test App

ESP-IDF unit tests are run using Unit Test App. The app can be built with the unit tests for a specific component. Unit tests are in test subdirectories of respective components.

Building Unit Test App

  • Follow the setup instructions in the top-level esp-idf README.
  • Set IDF_PATH environment variable to point to the path to the esp-idf top-level directory.
  • Change into tools/unit-test-app directory
  • make menuconfig to configure the Unit Test App.
  • make TEST_COMPONENTS= with TEST_COMPONENTS set to names of the components to be included in the test app. Or make TESTS_ALL=1 to build the test app with all the tests for components having test subdirectory.
  • Follow the printed instructions to flash, or run make flash.

Running Unit Tests

The unit test loader will prompt by showing a menu of available tests to run:

  • Type a number to run a single test.
  • * to run all tests.
  • [tagname] to run tests with "tag"
  • ![tagname] to run tests without "tag" (![ignore] is very useful as it runs all CI-enabled tests.)
  • "test name here" to run test with given name
