Revision history [back]

the goal:

I want to trigger a python unit-test trough rostest in the ros-enviroment by calling catkin_make test in the package-root.

One obvious thing is there's not test option in catkin_make AFAIK; there's catkin_make run_test option.

I'm not super happy with how less currently some of the pages on wiki.ros.org you referred to are organized; they were originally written years ago and while there have been great additions, little effort might have been made to re-organize those wiki pages in order to improve readability (esp. for new users for ROS testing facility). There's a concise but much better documentation is available in Catkin's document (find "Configuring and running unit tests" section).
