Running the tests

Clojure CLI

The Clojure exercises on Exercism ship with a deps.edn file with a :test alias to invoke the cognitect-labs test-runner:

$ clj -X:test

Leiningen

Leiningen can also be used to run the exercise's test by running the following command from the exercise's directory:

lein test

REPL

To use the REPL to run the exercise's test, run the following command from the exercise's directory:

$ clj

-or-

$ lein repl

Then require the exercise's test namespace and the Clojure test namespace):

;; replace <exercise> with the exercise's name
=> (require '<exercise>-test)

Then call run-tests on <exercise>-test:

;; replace <exercise> with the exercise's name
=> (clojure.test/run-tests '<exercise>-test)
