Automate tests with GitHub Actions

[prestoncarman]

Build a GitHub action to build and run the bridges tests.

• Create script to install dependencies
• Modify make files to run off installed dependencies
• Create GitHub Action to run tests

Actually we do run tests everyday. You can see logs here: http://bridgesuncc.github.io/testing-logs/index.html Would there be an advantage to run them using github action that I am not seeing?

I remember you saying that you had tests, but did not know where to find them. Those tests look great. I like how you can see all the different languages in one place.

A few questions:

• How would you check the tests for code change to the project?
• How can I test my code against those tests?

I think one advantage of a GitHub action would be confirming a code change (via a Pull Request) has quality code prior to admitting it into the code base. It would also show the test results with submitted code with out having to run the full suite of BRIDGES tests. The test process you have currently may be fulling a different goal then testing a PR.

Preston: Yeah, our current tests are primarily testing the core BRIDGES code. Its not perfectly designed to test every aspect or line  of the core BRIDGES code, but at least it covers each data structure , all tutorials and all  tests for  data set extraction.  We havent set it up (yet) to be able to test any arbitrary BRIDGES program from a user, but if you think there are holes in the tests (I am sure there are many), then we can certainly add that to our test suite.     -- kr
