# Exercism Forth Test Runner

The Docker image to automatically run tests on Forth solutions submitted to [Exercism].

## Getting started

Build the test runner, conforming to the [Test Runner interface specification](https://github.com/exercism/docs/blob/main/building/tooling/test-runners/interface.md).
Update the files to match your track's needs. At the very least, you'll need to update `bin/run.sh`, `Dockerfile` and the test solutions in the `tests` directory

- Tip: look for `TODO:` comments to point you towards code that need updating
- Tip: look for `OPTIONAL:` comments to point you towards code that _could_ be useful
- Tip: if it proves impossible for the Docker image to work on a read-only filesystem, remove the `--read-only` flag from the `bin/run-in-docker.sh` and `bin/run-tests-in-docker.sh` files.
We don't yet enforce a read-only file system in production, but we might in the future!

## Run the test runner

To run the tests of a single solution, do the following:

1. Open a terminal in the project's root
2. Run `./bin/run.sh `

Once the test runner has finished, its results will be written to `/results.json`.

## Run the test runner on a solution using Docker

_This script is provided for testing purposes, as it mimics how test runners run in Exercism's production environment._

To run the tests of a single solution using the Docker image, do the following:

1. Open a terminal in the project's root
2. Run `./bin/run-in-docker.sh `

Once the test runner has finished, its results will be written to `/results.json`.

## Run the tests

To run the tests to verify the behavior of the test runner, do the following:

1. Open a terminal in the project's root
2. Run `./bin/run-tests.sh`

These are [golden tests][golden] that compare the `results.json` generated by running the current state of the code against the "known good" `tests//results.json`. All files created during the test run itself are discarded.

When you've made modifications to the code that will result in a new "golden" state, you'll need to update the affected `tests//expected_results.json` file(s).
