How to build UnitTestBot with your improvements

The project structure is mostly straightforward and the modules are self-explanatory, e.g.:

  • utbot-framework โ€” everything related to UnitTestBot engine (including tests);
  • utbot-intellij โ€” IDE plugin implementation;
  • utbot-sample โ€” a framework with examples to demonstrate engine capacity.

Learn UnitTestBot from inside and implement changes. To verify your improvements open Gradle tool window in IntelliJ IDEA:

  • to run/debug plugin in IntelliJ IDEA choose and run the task: utbot โ†’ utbot-intellij โ†’ intellij โ†’ runIde;
  • to compile plugin choose and run the task: utbot โ†’ utbot-intellij โ†’ intellij โ†’ buildPlugin. The resulting ZIP file is located at utbot-intellij/build/distributions.
