Testing Your Accomplishment

With your accomplishment now complete, it is time to test that it works. Doing this is easy and we have a tool called accomplishments-battery that makes testing testing simple.

You should ensure your accomplishment passes this test before you submit it.

Getting Battery

accomplishments-battery is available in both the daily and releases PPA. To find out how to install one of these PPAs (releases is strongly recommended), see this page for more details.

Get it with:

sudo apt-get install accomplishments-battery

You will want to ensure that your ~/.config/accomplishments/.accomplishment file has the location of your accomplishments branch included (e.g. accompath = /path/to/branch:/usr/share/accomplishments) so that battery can see it.

Testing Your Accomplishment

Before you can test your accomplishment, you must ensure you have a test included. If you don't see this page for how to create one.

Let's imagine your accomplishment id is ubuntu-community/my-accom. To test it just run the following command:

accomplishments-battery -s ubuntu-community/my-accom

You should now see battery test your accomplishment for success and failure. Both tests should pass. If they do, congratulations, your accomplishment works!
