Tips and tricks on how to debug code related to the Toit framework.

Running Specific Tests

One can run individual test using the ctest command:

cd build/host
ctest --verbose -R test_name

ctest does some matching, so the test name doesn't need to be complete.

The --verbose flag also gives the full command line that was used to run the command. Note that some tests require to be run from specific locations. Generally, we only have two important locations, though: the root of the checkout, or the directory the test is in.

make tools discovers the test, so make sure to run make tools before running individual tests.
