Hi,

I am investigating unittests stuff in widelands. I found src/economy/tests directory, looking into this but I would like to hear some more info. F.e. how are these test called. I know they are executed during compilation...

Or can they be compiled and run independently. I have experiences with python's unittests....

They are executed during compilation - it's the 4 tests that run at the end before it starts linking the main executables. I have never written one of those, so I can't give you more information without doing some research.

Are those tests needed for anything? I have never seen one of them fail and they only take up precious compile time. It would be nice to be able to disable building/linking/running them with a compile switch…

I have seen them fail and save our butts, especially the economy one that is taking so annoyingly long to link.

I would not be against a compile switch though, because Travis will run them for us and fail.

No, sorry. You could try catching SirVer by PM, he might know more.

OK, I moved forward and now there are some AI tests (in my new branch) - with very tiny coverage of course...
