Pixi Build Testsuite

This repo contains the testsuite that is used by both Pixi CI and pixi-build-backends CI to verify that they work properly in combination.

Local development

First make sure that you have both the Pixi and pixi-build-backends repositories checked out locally.

Then, create a .env file at the repository root with the paths to your checked out repositories filled in.

PIXI_REPO="/path/to/pixi-repository"
BUILD_BACKENDS_REPO="/path/to/pixi-build-backends-repository"

PIXI_BIN_DIR="${PIXI_REPO}/target/pixi/release"
BUILD_BACKENDS_BIN_DIR="${BUILD_BACKENDS_REPO}/target/pixi/release"

You can build the executables by running the following Pixi task. It will also make sure that your repositories are up-to-date:

pixi run build-repos

Finally, you can run the fast subset of the tests with the following task. Also, check out the other Pixi tasks to run more tests on your local machine:

pixi run test

Testing PR combinations in CI

To test a combination of PRs from this testsuite with PRs from Pixi or pixi-build-backends:

1. Create a .env.ci file with PR numbers:

   # Test with specific PR from pixi repository
   PIXI_PR_NUMBER="123"
   
   # Test with specific PR from pixi-build-backends repository  
   BUILD_BACKENDS_PR_NUMBER="456"

2. The CI will download artifacts from these PRs instead of main branch
3. Important: Remove .env.ci before merging to main (CI will prevent merge if present)

This allows you to test how your testsuite changes work with specific PRs from the other repositories.
