Run tests

First, Go to the carbone package directory.

$ cd carbone

To run all the tests (-v for verbose output):

$ go test -v

To run only one test:

$ go test -v -run NameOfTheTest

If you need to test the generation of templateId, you can use the nodejs main.js to test the sha256 generation.

$ node ./tests/main.js
