# Utility script to run tests faster

By default tests will be run using the Postgres container defined at the `docker-compose` file on the root of the repo,
so prior to using this script make sure to launch the dev containers.

You can use a different DB backend by defining `SUPERSET__SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI` env var.

This script will not install any dependencies for you, so you must be on an already set virtualenv

## Use:

To show all supported switches:
```$bash
scripts/tests/run.sh --help
```

From the superset repo root directory:

- Example run all tests:
```$bash
scripts/tests/run.sh
```

- Example run a single test module:
```$bash
scripts/tests/run.sh --module tests/charts/api_tests.py
```

- Example run a single test:
```$bash
scripts/tests/run.sh --module tests/charts/api_tests.py::TestChartApi::test_get_charts
```

- Example run a single test, without any init procedures. Init procedures include:
  resetting test database, db upgrade, superset init, loading example data. If your tests
  are idempotent, after the first run, subsequent runs are really fast
```$bash
scripts/tests/run.sh --module tests/charts/api_tests.py::TestChartApi::test_get_charts --no-init
```

- Example for not recreating the test DB (will still run all the tests init procedures)
```$bash
scripts/tests/run.sh --module tests/charts/api_tests.py::TestChartApi::test_get_charts --no-reset-db
```

- Example for not running tests just initialize the test DB (drop/create, upgrade and load examples)
```$bash
scripts/tests/run.sh --no-tests
```

- Example for just resetting the tests DB
```$bash
scripts/tests/run.sh --reset-db --no-tests
```
