Using Momentum CLI
Momentum CLI is used in combination with Momentum Pro / Enterprise to run tests on your local IDE. This makes the flow of test planning -> test generation -> test integration -> test running really a matter of few simple clicks enhancing developer experience.
Installing the cli
Setting up the cli
Once the CLI is installed, for you to use it - there are some steps you'd need to take. The first thing is running the command to initialise it.
When you run this command, this will ask you for two inputs : (a) Path of virtual env : Please enter the absolute path of your created virtual env at this point, for example "./users/fatman/projects/momentum/.venv" (b) Path of directory where you want the tests to be generated : Please provide the absolute path for the directory where you want the tests to be stored and run from. Ideally this is a subfolder inside your codebase which is called something like "tests", but you can customise this. For example the path could look like : "/users/fatman/projects/momentum/tests" Once you provide these inputs, the cli will automatically setup everything else and run momentum for you to interact with (via momentum pro / enterprise).
Stopping the cli
When you're done with momentum, simply stop the cli with this command.
Reconfiguring the variables
In case you want to reconfigure your virtual env / test directory path - you can run the following command which should help you with that.
Once the reconfiguration is done, go ahead and run momentum with this command :
Once your cli is correctly configured and running, momentum (pro/enterprise) can connect and run, modify, regenerate, fix & verify tests with your codebase easily.
