Testing LFRic Core

LFRic testing is run with the following command from a working copy:

make test-suite

---

The minimum requirement for testing a branch that is to be sent for review is that the system level developer tests pass on all the applications. These are launched from make and utilise rose and cylc.

While developing your change, for expediency you may want to run the tests for only some applications. This can be done by going into the directory of the application before running the above command.

By default the command will run the develop test; other test groups exist. In particular, you need to be confident that the nightly tests pass. These can be run as follows:

make test-suite SUITE_GROUP=nightly

It is also possible to select the platform to run on. Available options include meto-spice, meto-xc40 and meto-xcs.

make test-suite TEST_SUITE_TARGETS="meto-spice meto-xcs"
