### Tests ###
Home Manager includes a basic test suite and it is highly recommended
to include at least one test when adding a module. Tests are typically
in the form of "golden tests" where, for example, a generated
configuration file is compared to a known correct file.
It is relatively easy to create tests by modeling the existing tests,
found in the `tests` project directory.
The full Home Manager test suite can be run by executing
```console
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A run.all
```
in the project root. List all test cases through
```console
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A list
```
and run an individual test, for example `alacritty-empty-settings`,
through
```console
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A run.alacritty-empty-settings
```
