@nbp:mozilla.orgnbp — PTO Robert Hensing (roberth): I had one question about testing, which is: Are nixpkgs/lib tests ever executed? When I was working on modules I added them to the release.nix files of Nixpkgs, but never saw it being reported on Hydra. 15:01:20

i don't know of any container based tests. using testing frameworks make sense. we use language based test tools like pytest

@davidak:matrix.org@davidak:matrix.orgthere is one gui test using that x11 framebuffer tool. j want to document that15:02:28
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja HentzeI have at some point made a nixos test that would start a single VM with a bunch of nixos containers in it. that also cut down the test runtime a bunch15:02:34

there's a github action CI that runs nix-build --arg pkgs import ./. {} ./lib/tests/release.nix. I don't think there's a hydra job for it, but that doesn't seem necessary.
