Regress

The regress command runs regression tests for act. Regression tests are, effectively, batch runs of act's various commands on a set of specific test files (included in the bin/tests directory).

Running the regression tests

Generally, rather than running act regress directly, one should use dune:

# from the root directory of the act source distribution
$ dune runtest

This will run the unit tests, too.

Directly running the regression tests

See bin/dune for the exact invocations used for the regression tests.

Each regression test outputs a wad of Markdown to stdout. This should be compared with the corresponding expected file in the source distribution. Generally, dune partially automates this.
