Build Documentation / build-html (push) Has been cancelled
docs/testing/citests: Expand CI testing documentation
The citests.rst now documents how to run the CI test suites locally (the
same way they are done in NuttX GitHub CI). Other pages are created for
different parts of NuttX testing.

======================================
Running CI Runtime Test Suites Locally
======================================
NuttX automatically runs continuous integration (CI) tests on
`simulator <https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/guides/simulator.html>`__
and QEMU targets when a new pull request is submitted. To avoid the tests failing
you can also run them locally on your computer prior to submitting a new pull request.
This page describes the step by step manual to do so.
Configuring NuttX
=================
NuttX has a simulator target that allows the user to run NuttX as a regular
program on a computer. The simulator target with CI test is configured and
compiled followingly.
.. code-block:: console
$ cd nuttx
$ ./tools/configure.sh sim:citest
$ make
You should see NuttX shell with built in test applications. Now you can exit
the simulator.
.. code-block:: console
nsh> poweroff
$
$ # we're back at the Linux prompt.
Running CI Tests with ``tools/ci/testrun``
==========================================
Running CI tests locally requires Minicom and Python 3.6 or newer to be
installed on the system. Other requirements can be installed with following
set of commands.
.. code-block:: console
$ cd tools/ci/testrun/env
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ cd ..
$ cd script
Now you have everything prepared to run CI tests. The tests themselves are run
by following command.
.. code-block:: console
$ python3 -m pytest -m 'common or sim' ./ -B sim -P <nuttx-path> -L <log-path> -R sim -C --json=<log-path>/pytest.json
Where nuttx-path is an absolute path to NuttX root directory and log-path is
a user defined directory to which tests log are saved.
