Downloading

Download the Test Runner executable from theGREENSPECTOR Modules page and place it in a folder of your choice.
The Test Runner needs two configuration files: config.yml and job.yml. These should be in the same folder as the Test Runner executable. As explained below, the Test Runner can automatically generate these files for you.

Set Up

To use the Test Runner, you first need to customize the configuration files to match your needs.

Instead of creating those files by yourself, you can just run the Test Runner executable a first time and if no configuration file is found, they will be automatically created. You can then open them with the text editor of your choice and edit the configuration to match your needs.

Details about how to configure these files can be found in the section Test Runner.

To do so, open a terminal on the directory you put the Test Runner in and use the following command:


Linux
$ ./testrunner
Windows
testrunner.exe
