Generate a `shunit2_test
` target for each file in the `sources
` field.
Backend: <span style="color: purple"><code>pants.backend.shell</code></span>
## <code>dependencies</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Addresses to other targets that this target depends on, e.g. ['helloworld/subdir:lib', 'helloworld/main.py:lib', '3rdparty:reqs#django'].
This augments any dependencies inferred by Pants, such as by analyzing your imports. Use `./pants dependencies
` or `./pants peek
` on this target to get the final result.
See [Targets and BUILD files](🔗) for more about how addresses are formed, including for generated targets. You can also run `./pants list ::
` to find all addresses in your project, or `./pants list dir
` to find all addresses defined in that directory.
If the target is in the same BUILD file, you can leave off the BUILD file path, e.g. `:tgt
` instead of `helloworld/subdir:tgt
`. For generated first-party addresses, use `./
` for the file path, e.g. `./main.py:tgt
`; for all other generated targets, use `:tgt#generated_name
`.
You may exclude dependencies by prefixing with `!
`, e.g. `['!helloworld/subdir:lib', '!./sibling.txt']
`. Ignores are intended for false positives with dependency inference; otherwise, simply leave off the dependency from the BUILD file.
## <code>description</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>str | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
A human-readable description of the target.
Use `./pants list --documented ::
` to see all targets with descriptions.
## <code>overrides</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Dict[Union[str, Tuple[str, ...]], Dict[str, Any]] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Override the field values for generated `{generated_target_name}
` targets.
Expects a dictionary of relative file paths and globs to a dictionary for the overrides. You may either use a string for a single path / glob, or a string tuple for multiple paths / globs. Each override is a dictionary of field names to the overridden value.
For example: overrides={ "foo_test.sh": {"timeout": 120}, "bar_test.sh": {"timeout": 200}, ("foo_test.sh", "bar_test.sh"): {"tags": ["slow_tests"]}, }
File paths and globs are relative to the BUILD file's directory. Every overridden file is validated to belong to this target's `sources
` field.
If you'd like to override a field's value for every `shunit2_test
` target generated by this target, change the field directly on this target rather than using the `overrides
` field.
You can specify the same file name in multiple keys, so long as you don't override the same field more than one time for the file.
## <code>runtime_package_dependencies</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Addresses to targets that can be built with the `./pants package
` goal and whose resulting artifacts should be included in the test run.
Pants will build the artifacts as if you had run `./pants package
`. It will include the results in your test's chroot, using the same name they would normally have, but without the `--distdir
` prefix (e.g. `dist/
`).
You can include anything that can be built by `./pants package
`, e.g. a `pex_binary
`, `python_awslambda
`, or an `archive
`.
## <code>shell</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>'bash' | 'dash' | 'ksh' | 'pdksh' | 'sh' | 'zsh' | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Which shell to run the tests with. If unspecified, Pants will look for a shebang line.
## <code>skip_shellcheck</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span> backend: <span style="color: green"><code>pants.backend.shell.lint.shellcheck</code></span>
If true, don't run Shellcheck on this target's code.
## <code>skip_shfmt</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span> backend: <span style="color: green"><code>pants.backend.shell.lint.shfmt</code></span>
If true, don't run shfmt on this target's code.
## <code>skip_tests</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span>
If true, don't run this target's tests.
## <code>sources</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>('*_test.sh', 'test_*.sh', 'tests.sh')</code></span>
A list of files and globs that belong to this target.
Paths are relative to the BUILD file's directory. You can ignore files/globs by prefixing them with `!
`.
Example: `sources=['test.sh', 'test_*.sh', '!test_ignore.sh']
`
## <code>tags</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Arbitrary strings to describe a target.
For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run `./pants --tag='integration_test' test ::
` to only run on targets with that tag.
## <code>timeout</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>int | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
A timeout (in seconds) used by each test file belonging to this target.
If unset, will default to `[test].timeout_default
`; if that option is also unset, then the test will never time out. Will never exceed `[test].timeout_maximum
`. Only applies if the option `--test-timeouts
` is set to true (the default).
