ert: Running Tests in Batch Mode

 
 2.2 Running Tests in Batch Mode
 ===============================
 
 ERT supports automated invocations from the command line or from scripts
 or makefiles.  There are two functions for this purpose,
 ‘ert-run-tests-batch’ and ‘ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit’.  They can be
 used like this:
 
      emacs -batch -l ert -l my-tests.el -f ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit
 
    This command will start up Emacs in batch mode, load ERT, load
 ‘my-tests.el’, and run all tests defined in it.  It will exit with a
 zero exit status if all tests passed, or nonzero if any tests failed or
 if anything else went wrong.  It will also print progress messages and
 error diagnostics to standard output.
 
    You can also redirect the above output to a log file, say
 ‘output.log’, and use the ‘ert-summarize-tests-batch-and-exit’ function
 to produce a neat summary as shown below:
 
      emacs -batch -l ert -f ert-summarize-tests-batch-and-exit output.log
 
    If ERT is not part of your Emacs distribution, you may need to use
 ‘-L /path/to/ert/’ so that Emacs can find it.  You may need additional
 ‘-L’ flags to ensure that ‘my-tests.el’ and all the files that it
 requires are on your ‘load-path’.
