Update docs for running tests #165

Closed dangirsh closed 6 years ago

dangirsh commented 6 years ago

The docs currently reference scuff-test-harness, which doesnt seem to exist anymore. There is also antest-driver` script generated during the build, which I'm not sure how to use. Is there any automated way to run all tests?

HomerReid commented 6 years ago

No, because there are no tests :( The absence of a unit-test suite is the main obstacle preventing an official release. Helping to rectify this situation would be an extremely wonderful way for any interested users to contribute to the code while learning how to use it at the same time. I am working on a test suite, but it's not my main priority at the moment.

Feel free to keep this discussion going if you have further questions or contributions, or close the issue if it has been resolved to your satisfaction. Note that the need for a unit-test suite is already addressed by open issues #22 and #15.
