Testing

Build and Run ALL Unit Test Cases

Peloton uses AddressSanitizer to detect memory errors including leaks. It's faster and more lightweight to execute than Valgrind, and is enabled on our automated testing infrastructure (i.e., TravisCI and Jenkins). If you are planning to contribute to Peloton, it is highly recommended to enable AddressSanitizer locally.

To build and run all tests:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DUSE_SANITIZER=Address ..
make -j4 check

If you are on macOS, you may need to disable container overflow checks due to false positives like so:

ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_container_overflow=0 make -j4 check

The above commands perform parallel build and test. You can control the degree of parallelism by changing the value of the -j parameter with the number of cores you have.

Build and Run INDIVIDUAL Unit Test Case

Here's the command to build an individual test:

make $TEST_NAME

EXAMPLE:

make sample_test
