Using AxUnit runner to execute unit tests - Manual - AxUnit - AxUnit

The AxUnit runner is a tool to run your unit tests.

Warning

It is never advised to run the tests in a productive environment. The tests will run the productive code.
The program tasks will not be executed since the framework creates its own task to run the tests.

Pre-requisites:

The PLC has to be connected and reachable.

Use the runner in the CLI to download the tests to the PLC like below:

Synopsis

AxUnit.Runner -i binaryDirectory -o outputDirectory -t ipAddress

where

-i|--input The directory that contains the binaries dumped from STC including the TestCasesMeta.xml file
-o|--output The directory where the test results are expected
-t|--target The IP address of the PLC

Example

AxUnit.Runner -i D:\myFirstProgram\bin -o D:\myFirstProgram\testResults -t 192.168.0.1

Note

Calling the AxUnit.Runner directly is not the easiest way anymore, since Apax has been released. Instead you can just call apax test in your workspace, after you have taken the necessary steps. If you work with the IDE and want to test in the IDE, everything will be done automatically for you.
