To run the tests you'll need to provide the path to the cairo corelib (at some point this should be automated but we're not there yet).

CORELIB_PATH="/path/to/corelib/src" cargo test

Cli instructions

To add a new test you can use the dev cli with:

cargo run --bin create_test <lint_name>

Manual instructions

Each lint should have its own tests and should be extensive. To create a new test for a lint you need to create a file in the test_files folder and should be named as your lint. The file should have this format:

//! > Test name

//! > cairo_code
fn main() {
    let a: Option<felt252> = Option::Some(1);
}

Then in the test file declare your lint like so:

test_file!(if_let, "Test name");

The first argument is the lint name (also the file name) and the other ones are the test names. After that you can run

FIX_TESTS=1 cargo test -p cairo-lint-core <name_of_lint>

This will generate the expected values in your test file. Make sure it is correct.
