Adding tests to a package

As with any kind of development, it is good practice to add tests to your package. There are three things you must do in order to set up tests on your package:

  1. Create the C# test files and put them under the Tests folder.
  2. Create asmdef files for your tests.
  3. Enable tests for your package.

Location of test files

You can add your test files to the Tests folder of your package in the Editor and Runtime subfolders. For example, a simple package with tests might look something like this:

MyPackage
  ├── package.json
  ├── Editor
  │     ├── MyPackage.Editor.asmdef
  │     └── EditorExample.cs
  ├── Runtime
  │     ├── MyPackage.Runtime.asmdef
  │     └── RuntimeExample.cs
  └── Tests
        ├── Editor
        │    ├── MyPackage.EditorTests.asmdef
        │    └── EditorExampleTest.cs
        └── Runtime
             ├── MyPackage.RuntimeTests.asmdef
             └── RuntimeExampleTest.cs

Each of those subfolders must contain an .asmdef file, which provides references to the Editor and Runtime assemblies. The assembly definition files also provide a reference to the test assembly files. For more information, see Assembly definition files for tests.

Assembly definition files for tests

You can edit assembly definition files directly. You need to make sure to add the following references:

Attribute Type Description
name String The name of the assembly without the file extension.
references Array of Strings References to the Editor and Runtime assemblies. Assembly definition files require different references depending on whether it is for Editor or Runtime tests:
- For Editor tests, add a reference to the package’s Editor and Runtime assemblies.
- For Runtime tests, add a reference to the package’s Runtime assembly only.
optionalUnityReferences Array of Strings This list of Unity references must include “TestAssemblies” in order to mark the assembly as a test assembly. This adds references to the unit.framework.dll and UnityEngine.TestRunner.dll libraries to the Assembly Definition.
includePlatforms Array of Strings For the Editor test, this list of platforms must include the “Editor” platform.

Tip: You can also edit the assembly definition files in the InspectorA Unity window that displays information about the currently selected GameObject, asset or project settings, allowing you to inspect and edit the values. More info
See in Glossary
. See Assembly Definitions for more information.

Editor file example

The editor test .asmdef file should look like this:

{
  "name": "MyPackage.Editor.Tests",
  "references": [
    "MyPackage.Editor",
    "MyPackage"
  ],
  "optionalUnityReferences": [
    "TestAssemblies"
  ],
  "includePlatforms": [
    "Editor"
  ],
  "excludePlatforms": []
}

Runtime file example

The runtime test .asmdef file should look like this:

{
  "name": "MyPackage.Tests",
  "references": [
    "MyPackage"
  ],
  "optionalUnityReferences": [
    "TestAssemblies"
  ],
  "includePlatforms": [],
  "excludePlatforms": []
}

Enabling tests for a package

For embedded packages
See in Glossary
, you don’t need to explicitly enable tests because embedded packages are in development.

However, for other types of dependencies
See in Glossary
, you need to add the testables attribute to the Project manifestEach Unity project has a project manifest, which acts as an entry point for the Package Manager. This file must be available in the <project>/Packages directory. The Package Manager uses it to configure many things, including a list of dependencies for that project, as well as any package repository to query for packages. More info
See in Glossary
and add the names of packages that have tests you want to run. That includes direct and indirect dependencies of the Project. For example:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.unity.some-package": "1.0.0",
    "com.unity.other-package": "2.0.0",
    "com.unity.yet-another-package": "3.0.0",
  },
  "testables": ["com.unity.some-package", "com.unity.other-package"]
}

This example adds tests for the com.unity.some-package and com.unity.other-package packages in Unity’s Test FrameworkThe Test Framework package (formerly called the Test Runner) is a Unity tool that tests your code in both Edit mode and Play mode, and also on target platforms such as Standalone, Android, or iOS.

See in Glossary
package.

Note: You may need to re-import the package, because the test framework doesn’t always immediately pick up changes to the testables attribute.
