You can do this using ``tox``, which has a number of different +test environments defined in ``tox.ini``. +Calling ``tox`` without any additional arguments runs the default set of +tests (unit tests, functional tests, coverage and pylint). + +If some tests are failing, you can save time and select test environments +individually, by passing one or more of the following command-line options to +``tox``: + +* ``-e py27``: Unit tests using Python 2.7 +* ``-e py3``: Unit tests using Python 3 +* ``-e pep8``: Linter and style checks on updated files +* ``-e functional``: Functional tests using Python 2.7 +* ``-e functional-py3``: Functional tests using Python 3 +* ``-e coverage``: Code coverage checks + +.. note:: You need to stage your changes prior to running coverage for those + changes to be checked. + +In addition to the tests run by Jenkins (listed above), there are a number of +other test environments defined. + +* ``-e pep8-full``: Linter and style checks are run on the whole repo (not + just on updated files) +* ``-e os-requirements``: Check that the requirements are compatible with + OpenStack requirements. + +Working with tox +++++++++++++++++ +.. _virtualenv: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/ + +``tox`` uses `virtualenv`_ to create isolated Python environments to run the +tests in.
