test

Summary

zinit-annex-test adds a test ice that automatically runs make test after a plugin is installed or updated, and a notest ice to skip testing for individual plugins when tests are enabled globally.

Details

• Problem it solves: Verifying that a plugin passes its own test suite after installation or update requires manual intervention. This annex hooks the test run into the install/update lifecycle automatically.

• New ices:

  • test — runs make test in the plugin directory after install or update
  • notest — opt-out ice; skips the test run for the specific plugin even when test would otherwise apply

• Verbosity control: By default the annex runs quietly. To see test output:

  zstyle :zinit:annex:test quiet 0

• Install:

  zinit light zdharma-continuum/zinit-annex-test

Examples

# Run tests after installing fzf (for syntax)
zinit for load make test junegunn/fzf

# Run tests after installing fzf (ice syntax)
zinit ice make test
zinit load junegunn/fzf

# Enable verbose test output then install
zstyle :zinit:annex:test quiet 0
zinit ice make test
zinit load junegunn/fzf

# Skip tests for a single plugin
zinit for load make notest junegunn/fzf

Caveats / Common Mistakes

• The annex only invokes make test; plugins without a Makefile or without a test target will silently produce no results (or an error if make itself is missing).
• The test ice is additive — combine it with make if the plugin also needs to be built before testing.
