# Aseprite Tests Test suite for [Aseprite](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite) to avoid breaking backward compatibility. This project is cloned by the [build.yml](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yml) file on Aseprite project to do several automated tests: * Save/load file formats correctly. For this we have `.aseprite`, `.png`, `.gif`, etc. files [sprites](https://github.com/aseprite/tests/tree/main/sprites) folder. * Test backward compatibility with [Aseprite CLI](https://www.aseprite.org/docs/cli/) options * Future [scripting API](https://github.com/aseprite/api) using [scripts](https://github.com/aseprite/tests/tree/main/scripts) ## How to run tests? You have to set the `ASEPRITE` environment variable pointing to the Aseprite executable and then run `run-tests.sh` from Bash: export ASEPRITE=$HOME/your-aseprite-build/bin/aseprite git clone https://github.com/aseprite/tests.git cd tests bash run-tests.sh You can filter some tests with a regex giving a parameter to `run-tests.sh`, for example: run-tests.sh color Should run all tests which have the `color` word in their name.
