When set up, the scripts will automatically run your unit tests when you commit or push your code. By enforcing your tests to run, it helps ensure that you commit quality code.
Currently, there are hooks available for:
Runs Maven tests with mvn clean test
Runs Angular tests with ng test (I used this with Jasmine)
For your repository, add the desired script to your git hooks directory. This directory can be found in REPOSITORY_ROOT/.git/hooks.
Ensure that the proper permissions are set. Otherwise, git will ignore the hooks.
chmod ug+x REPOSITORY_ROOT/.git/hooks/GIT_HOOK_SCRIPT
The hooks will execute on git commit and git push. Git functionality will work as normal if the test cases pass. If they fail, then an error message will be displayed and git will not perform the desired action.
To prevent the hooks from running, run your git command with --no-verify. This will perform the git action even if there are failing unit tests
Ex. git push --no-verify
