# Running the machine tests

This document is a quick how-to run machine tests. Not all dependencies, like
`gvproxy` are documented. You must install `gvproxy` in all cases described
below.

## General notes

### Environment must be clean

You must not have any machines defined before running tests. Consider running
`podman machine reset` prior to running tests.

###

### Scoping tests

You can scope tests in the machine suite by adding various incantations of
`FOCUS=`. For example, add `FOCUS_FILE=basic_test.go` to only run basic test. Or
add `FOCUS="simple init with start"` to only run one test case. For windows, the
syntax differs slightly. In windows, executing something like following achieves
the same result:

`./winmake localmachine "basic_test.go start_test.go"`

To focus on one specific test on windows, run `ginkgo` manually:

```pwsh
$remotetags = "remote exclude_graphdriver_btrfs containers_image_openpgp"
$focus_file = "basic_test.go"
$focus_test = "podman build contexts"
./test/tools/build/ginkgo.exe `
     -v --tags "$remotetags" -timeout=90m --trace --no-color `
     --focus-file  $focus_file `
     --focus "$focus_test" `
     ./pkg/machine/e2e/.
```

Note that ginkgo.exe is built when running the command
`winmake.ps1 localmachine` so make sure to run it before trying the command
above.

## Linux

### QEMU

1. `make localmachine`

## Microsoft Windows

### Hyper-V

1. Open a powershell as admin
1. `.\winmake.ps1 podman-remote && .\winmake.ps1 win-gvproxy`
1. `$env:CONTAINERS_HELPER_BINARY_DIR="$pwd\bin\windows"`
1. `$env:CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER="hyperv"`
1. `.\winmake localmachine`

### WSL

1. Open a powershell as a regular user
1. `.\winmake.ps1 podman-remote && .\winmake.ps1 win-gvproxy`
1. `$env:CONTAINERS_HELPER_BINARY_DIR="$pwd\bin\windows"`
1. `$env:CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER="wsl"`
1. `.\winmake localmachine`

## MacOS

Macs now support two different machine providers: `applehv` and `libkrun`. The
`applehv` provider is the default.

Note: On macOS, an error will occur if the path length of `$TMPDIR` is longer
than 22 characters. Please set the appropriate path to `$TMPDIR`. Also, if
`$TMPDIR` is empty, `/private/tmp` will be set.

### Apple Hypervisor

1. `brew install vfkit`
1. `make podman-remote`
1. `make localmachine`

### [Libkrun](https://github.com/containers/libkrun)

1. `brew install krunkit`
1. `make podman-remote`
1. `export CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER="libkrun"`
1. `make localmachine`
