NAME
lift - Run a Lift test suite
SYNOPSIS
lift [OPTION]... [TEST]...
DESCRIPTION
The lift command runs all or parts of a Lift test suite. By default, with no option, lift run all test it discovers in the current directory and its sub-directories. Lift stands for Lift Integration-Functional Testing.
OPTIONS
-h, --help Show an help message and exit. -V, --version Show the lift version. -q, --quiet Do not print the output of tests as they run. -d, --detailed-summary Print the output of failed tests in the final summary. -n, --no-color Disable colored output. Maybe useful, for example if colors interfere with your term. --regex Process TEST strings as standard Python regex. See below for more information. --no-upper-inheritance Do not load remotes/environment from upper level lift.yaml files. By default, lift will look for lift.yaml files in upper level folders in order to find settings to inherit for the current test file. This option disable this behaviour and consider the current test directory as a top level one. --put-remotes-in-environment All defined remotes will be passed as environment variables to tests. Variables will be in the following form: LIFT_REMOTE_remotename=login:password@host. Note that the password (along with the ":" separator) will not be there if it was not defined in the first place. SECURITY WARNING: Do not use this option if some of your binary tests can not be trusted to keep these credentials for themselves. -f FOLDER, --folder FOLDER Specify the root folder in which tests will be looked for. By default, use the current working directory. -r REMOTE, --remote REMOTE Define a remote. The value should be in the following form: REMOTENAME=USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST. Note that the PASSWORD field (along with the ":" separator) is optional if SSH keys are properly set. This option can be used multiple times to define multiple remotes. Remotes defined via this option supersede those defined via lift.yaml files. --with-xunit Provide test results in the standard XUnit XML format. --xunit-file XUNIT_FILE Specify the path of the XML file to store the XUnit report in. The default is lift.xml in the current working directory.
RUN SPECIFIC TESTS
You can select specific tests to run directly on the command line. You can use the test string format as found in the normal lift output, ie. "FOLDER/TEST_NAME". If you set the "--regex" option, expressions will be matched as standard Python regex. For example, ".*foo" will match all tests containing the word "foo". See http://docs.python.org/library/re.html for more information on the Python regex syntax.
