It is\nideal for iterating on Apex logic without deploying to a real org, keeping test\ncycles fast and reproducible.\n\n![Demo](demo.gif)\n\n## Install\n\n1. Browse to the **Releases** page of this repository and download the archive\n   for your platform:\n   - `aer_\u003cplatform\u003e.zip` for macOS and Linux\n   - `aer_windows_amd64.zip` for Windows\n2. Extract the archive and move the `aer` binary somewhere on your `PATH`.\n   - macOS/Linux: `mv aer /usr/local/bin`\n   - Windows (PowerShell): `Move-Item .\\aer.exe $env:USERPROFILE\\bin`\n3. (Optional) Verify the download with the published SHA256 checksums:\n   - macOS/Linux: `shasum -a 256 aer_\u003cplatform\u003e.zip`\n   - Windows: `Get-FileHash .\\aer_windows_amd64.zip -Algorithm SHA256`\n\n## GitHub Action\n\nTo run `aer test` in your GitHub Actions pipeline, add a workflow like:\n\n```yaml\nname: Apex Tests\n\non:\n  push:\n  pull_request:\n\njobs:\n  test:\n    runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n    steps:\n      - uses: actions/checkout@v4\n\n      - name: Run Apex Tests\n        uses: octoberswimmer/aer-dist@main\n        with:\n          source: sfdx\n```\n\nAdjust `with.source` for your project's Apex root, and pin the `uses:` clause to the latest released tag (for example `@v0.1.0`).\n\nOptional inputs:\n- `flags` lets you append additional CLI arguments (for example `--skip SomeTest`).\n- `default-namespace` mirrors the `--default-namespace` flag to run tests against as if the code is within a package's namespace.\n\nSet a license key for production use (running more than 100 tests).\n\n```yaml\n      - name: Run Apex Tests\n        uses: octoberswimmer/aer-dist@main\n        with:\n          source: sfdx\n        env:\n          AER_LICENSE_KEY: ${{ secrets.AER_LICENSE_KEY }}\n```\n\n\n## Quick Start\n\n1. Initialize your project directory with the Apex source you want to run or\n   test (for example an `sfdx` folder from an SFDX project).\n2. Execute your test suite with `aer test sfdx` (add `-f NamePattern`\n   to focus on specific test classes).\n3. Run individual code paths with `aer run ClassName.methodName --path sfdx`.\n4. Use the interactive debugger to step through code, inspect variables, and\n   troubleshoot issues within VS Code with `aer test --debug` or `aer exec\n   --debug`.\n\n`aer` reads SObject metadata alongside your source so tests behave like they\nwould in Salesforce.\n\n**Learn more:**\n- [Getting Started Guide](https://www.octoberswimmer.com/tools/aer/getting-started/)\n- [Interactive Debugging with VS Code](https://www.octoberswimmer.com/tools/aer/docs/interactive-debugging/)\n- [Interactive Debugging with IntelliJ](https://www.octoberswimmer.com/tools/aer/docs/intellij-debugging/)\n- [Documentation](https://www.octoberswimmer.com/tools/aer/docs/)\n- [Subscribe](https://www.octoberswimmer.com/tools/aer/subscribe/)\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n- Install errors such as `cannot execute binary file`: confirm you downloaded\n  the archive that matches your OS and CPU architecture.\n- Command not found: ensure the directory where you installed `aer` is listed\n  in your `PATH`.\n- To report issues with the CLI runtime itself, open a ticket in this\n  repository; maintainers will route it to the private source project as\n  needed.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Foctoberswimmer%2Faer-dist","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Foctoberswimmer%2Faer-dist","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Foctoberswimmer%2Faer-dist/lists"}
