Live tests¶

Some of the unit tests are live tests, meaning they require a connection to a remote server. Normally these tests are skipped. To enable them, copy the file example-live-test.properties to live-test.properties and fill in the values. Then run the tests (they are annotated with @EnabledIf("nl.knaw.dans.layerstore.TestConditions#dmftarLiveTestConfigured")).

Tests involving dmftar¶

Some of the live tests involve dmftar. When running these tests, make sure that the following commands are on the local PATH:

• dmftar
• dmftar-volume-changer
• tar

The first two can best be installed in a Python virtual environment. You can then set the bin directory of the virtual environment on the PATH. tar should be available on any Linux system.

Note that this also holds for running these tests from IntelliJ (and possibly other IDEs). In IntelliJ, configure the PATH via Modify Run Configuration for the test. You may have to do this for each test if you want to run individual test methods.
