Test

To learn how to test your ink! smart contract, from unit tests to e2e testing workflows, go checkout the ink! testing documentation.

To run your ink! smart contract's unit tests, make sure you're in the directory of your contract and run the following command:

pop test

If you pass a single positional value and it isn't a directory, Pop treats it as a test filter and runs in the current directory:

pop test my_test_name

JSON mode

Use global --json for structured test results:

pop --json test

pop --json test --e2e is not supported. Run E2E tests without --json.

Pop checks for an ink dependency. If it finds one, it runs contract tests. If it doesn't, Pop runs cargo test for non-contract projects and then checks whether the project is a chain.

To run end-to-end (e2e) tests, for which you need a blockchain running:

 pop test --e2e

If you want to run you e2e tests on your own local chain specify the directory path using:

 pop test --e2e --node ../my-chain
