Running a single unit tests with reports

[dangershony]

Hi devs,
Not so much a c++ dev here, I am tying to run a single tests with not much luck.
I want to execute the run-commit_tx (to examine its output reports) from the logs I understand I should do make check-units -k run-commit_tx but no luck, some help please?

No problem, there are two steps here: a) compile the binary that contains the tests, and b) run the binary. The following will get you going:

make channeld/test/run-commit_tx  # Full path of the binary from the repo root
channeld/test/run-commit_tx  # Run it as a binary
echo $?  # Print the return code to determine if we are ok or have an error

Depending on which test you're running this might give more or less context, but the test will return ok (return code 0) if all tests passed, or error (return code other than 0) if something went wrong.

Hi quick question I noticed there are not tests for option_anchor_outputs = true did I miss them?

[cdecker]

The option_anchor_outputs option is guarded by the --enable-developer configure flag, and specific tests will be skipped if not configured to enable them.

However the anchor outputs option may not have their own tests because they get extensively tested as part of the other tests (they are involved in every channel that is created in any tests).
