Testing uncommitted changes to a package

[Chandrakant G]

Hi guys,

I am getting my feet wet with Julia and its pretty nice so far.

I am testing an external Julia package (not something I wrote). I have already cloned it and made some changes.

I have started the julia repl inside the directory where i cloned the package repo.

Here's my workflow.

# Remove existing copy

Pkg.rm(extpkg)

# Add the new copy with my changes

Pkg.clone(pwd())

# Run tests

Pkg.test(mypkg)

My question is: My changes dont get picked up by clone unless I commit them. Is there a way to test uncommitted changes?

Thanks

Chandrakant

Add $PWD/src to LOAD_PATH instead. This way you can also make sure you are not using Pkg incorrectly in your package.

And that command would be push!(LOAD_PATH, $PWD/src)

Just include your runtests.jl script.
