Trying to have some CI checks for my watch app

As most normal software apps nowadays, I would like to have my GitHub PRs to run unit tests before merging them

Is there any easy way for it? everything in garmin SDK seems to be very tied to VS Code and not easy to use as CLI

e.g., for exporting an app I was able to see the commands that VS Code runs: https://github.com/pedrorijo91/garmin-padel/blob/master/releases/scripts/export.sh.

but for unit tests I was not able to find it. Besides the command for running unit tests, we would need to have some docker image in CI, or any other way to download SDK to github actions

GitHub repo if useful: github.com/.../garmin-padel

Interesting idea. And the other thing that could be done after that is to create up-to-date screenshots from the simulator during the test, and update them in the git repo, so it's always displaying pictures relevant to the latest version

i think screenshots are a bigger problem to tackle. for now I would like to start simple: if my open source app has a PR from someone else, and it's fairly simple logic change, I would like the github actions to be able to tell if unit tests are passing. just like we do in software projects in any other language (example https://github.com/aio-libs/aiobotocore/pull/1160/checks)

probably it shouldn't be very hard to create a docker image with a tiny linux and the sdk

likely true. i was hoping someone had done that work already :D and maybe even configured github actions for it

i only found a few very outdated github projects

Yeah, years ago someone asked for CI/CD / docker support in these forums, and the initial response (from a non-garmin employee) was "I don't know what that is" :/.

Thanks for sharing your repo!

wow....android and ios developers already have it for ages (i know they have a much bigger ecosystem and number of developers)

but if monkey-C has unit tests, it would be very expectable that people try to run them in PR checks / Ci checks xD
