Tests
-----
As a general rule, any behavioral change to rebar requires a test to go with it. If there's
already a test case, you may have to modify that one. If there isn't a test case or a test
suite, add a new test case or suite in `inttest/`. [retest](https://github.com/dizzyd/retest) based tests are preferred, but
we also have EUnit tests in `test/`.
Say you've added a new test case in `inttest/erlc`. To only execute the modified suite,
you would do the following:
```sh
# First we build rebar and its deps to also get `deps/retest/retest`
$ make debug deps
# Now we can test the modified erlc suite
$ deps/retest/retest -v inttest/erlc
```
To test EUnit tests, you would do:
```sh
$ make debug
$ ./rebar -v eunit
```
You can also run `make test` to execute both EUnit and [retest](https://github.com/dizzyd/retest) tests as `make check` does.
