name: run-test description: > Use when choosing or running JETLS tests after code changes. Prefer component-specific tests, avoid the full suite unless needed, and use TestRunner for focused iteration.
Run JETLS tests
Use this skill when you need to validate JETLS changes with tests or decide which test command to run.
Choose the narrowest useful test
When you changed a specific component, run the component-specific test instead of the full test suite.
Use this standard form:
julia --startup-file=no --project=test -e 'using Test; @testset "test_XXX" include("test/test_XXX.jl")'
Notes:
--startup-file=noavoids loading unnecessary startup utilities.--project=testenablesJETLS_TEST_MODEfor proper test execution.
Focused iteration with TestRunner.jl
For faster iteration on a specific @testset,
use TestRunner.jl
when testrunner --help succeeds:
testrunner --project=test test/test_XXX.jl "testset_name"
TestRunner.jl is still experimental, but it is reliable enough to try first
when the target @testset is clear. If it fails in a way that looks specific
to TestRunner.jl, fall back to running the test file standalone.
Avoid the full suite by default
Pkg.test() takes about 3.5 minutes as of June 2026. Avoid it unless:
- Changes affect multiple components.
- The user explicitly requests the full test suite.
- You are unsure which narrower tests are relevant.
Reporting
In the final response, report the exact test command you ran and whether it passed, failed, or timed out. If you skipped tests, explain why.
