By default the code is built without tests. To compile the test suite the project has to be told to do so by setting the meson variable build_tests.
After that they can be built and run by ninja:
$ meson configure -Dbuild_tests=true build
$ cd build && ninja && ninja tests- Contributors who help make ThiefMD awesome
