# Exercism Python Test Runner

The Docker image to automatically run tests on Python solutions submitted to [exercism](https://exercism.io).

## Running the Tests
To run all of the tests, do the following:
1. Open a terminal in the project's root
2. Run `pytest`

These are [golden tests][golden] that compare the `results.json` generated by running the current state of the code against the "known good" `test//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 generate and commit a new `test//results.json` file.

## Generating `results.json` for an Exercise
To run the tests of an arbitrary exercise, do the following:
1. Open a terminal in the project's root
2. Run `./bin/run.sh `

## Generating `results.json` for an Exercise with Docker
*This script is provided for testing purposes.*

To run the tests of an arbitrary exercise using the Docker container, do the following:
1. Open a terminal in the project's root
2. Run `./bin/run-in-docker.sh <./relative/path/to/solution/dir/> <./relative/path/to/output/dir/>`

**Note**: the solution and output directory's **MUST** be relative paths!
