FAQPage Schema
How do I run Galaxy tests using pytest?▼

Run Galaxy tests by executing the `./run_tests.sh` script instead of invoking pytest directly. This wrapper correctly configures the test environment for unit, API, integration, and Selenium test suites.

Why should I use run_tests.sh instead of pytest directly for Galaxy?▼

Using `./run_tests.sh` is critical because it handles the necessary environment setup and configuration for Galaxy testing. Direct pytest execution bypasses this setup, leading to incorrect test behavior and failures.

What is the best way to write new integration tests for the Galaxy platform?▼

Follow the provided test writing guidance and best practices to create new Galaxy integration tests. Use detailed examples to structure your tests and ensure they cover the target functionality accurately.

Can I run Selenium tests for Galaxy using this testing approach?▼

Yes, you can run Galaxy Selenium tests by passing the appropriate flags to the `./run_tests.sh` script. The script supports executing Selenium tests alongside unit, API, and integration test suites.

How do I debug failing Galaxy tests?▼

Debug failing Galaxy tests by utilizing the specific strategies and diagnostic flags provided for the `./run_tests.sh` script. These tools help identify and resolve issues in unit, API, and integration test failures.
