Build and Test Steps - Command Line

Note: Currently we are sharing the test suits with Couchbase-lite-android project and the following steps will copy the test classes over and run the test suit.

1. Clone Couchbase-lite-android project
   $ git clone https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-lite-android.git at the same folder where the couchbase-lite-java is located (parent folder of couchbase-lite-java).
2. Go to your couchbase-lite-java, build the project and run the tests
   $ ./gradlew clean && ./gradlew test

If you need to see the test output to debug them, you can run ./gradlew --debug --info test

Note: there seems to be no way to see the test output when using the command line, so if you need to see the test output, use the IntelliJ IDE instead

Build and Test Steps - IntelliJ

1. Build on command line - run $ ./gradlew build
2. Clone Couchbase-lite-android project
   $ git clone https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-lite-android.git at the same folder where the couchbase-lite-java is located (parent folder of couchbase-lite-java).
3. Open IntelliJ and import project by selecting settings.gradle
4. In IntelliJ project window, browse to /src/test/java/
5. Right-click on an individual test or package and choose Run Test ..

Build and Package the library

$ ./gradlew distZip

Note: The packaged file will be located at build/distributions.
