Development

Pull requests are very welcome!

Running unit tests

The unit tests just use minitest

bundle exec rake test

Running the acceptance tests

The acceptance tests run the command from the contents of

test/acceptance_test_command

On a torrent created from sample data. The string <TORRENT_FILE> will be replaced with the path to the created torrent. If the command exits with 0 the torrent is deemed to be valid.

A sample file could look like this:

/usr/local/Cellar/torrentcheck/1.00/bin/torrentcheck -t <TORRENT_FILE>
