To contribute to TRLC, you will need to be able to run the testsuite. Therefore you need GNU make and GNU findutils. We do provide setup steps for Windows and Linux. If you run into any problems on macOS, make sure you install the latest GNU make version.
-
You need a suitable version of Python3 (3.8 <= Python3 <= 3.13). You can install this from your package manager. On Debian the package is called
python3. -
You also need an executable
cvc5binary on your PATH. Download the appropriate version from https://github.com/cvc5/cvc5/releases/tag/cvc5-1.3.2 and rename it. You can also build CVC5 from source if there is no pre-built release available for your platform. -
You need to install the
cvc5PyPI package, or build it from source. -
You need to install everything from requirements.txt.
-
You also need to make available the relevant parts of lobster. You can do this in one of two ways:
-
Check out https://github.com/bmw-software-engineering/lobster and put the root of the repo on your
PYTHONPATH. -
Install from PyPI, carfully avoiding to install the TRLC dependency as that will make things really confusing:
pip install bmw-lobster-core bmw-lobster-tool-python pip install --no-deps bmw-lobster-tool-trlc
-
-
You need GNU Make. This should be available on all sane GNU/Linux distributions. On Debian the package is called
build-essential. -
You need to install Graphviz. On Debian the package is called
graphviz.
-
You need to Install Scoop.
- Check out https://scoop.sh/
-
Once Scoop is installed, install GNU findutils by running the following command:
scoop install findutils
-
you need to install GNU Make. You can do this by running the following command:
scoop install make
-
You need to install Graphviz.
scoop install Graphviz
-
You need to install coreutils.
scoop install coreutils
-
make lintto run pycodestyle and pylint. -
make testto run most tests and show coverage analysis. -
make test-allto run all tests. This is the same as above, except we also include a massive test that takes a long time to run. Generally this is not worth it, but maybe do it once before you push. -
make tracingto build just the LOBSTER report. -
make docsto build all the documentation (including the LRM and the LOBSTER report).
# Check formatting — exits non-zero if any file would change
bazel run //:format.check
# Apply formatting in-place: ruff and buildifier
bazel run //:format.fix# Run all linters (pylint + ty) over every Python target
bazel build --config=lint //...The system tests in tests-system/ can be run as Bazel test
actions. Test directories are discovered automatically via
native.glob — no manual list to maintain.
# Run all system tests (excludes "bulk")
bazel test //tests-system:fast
# Run all system tests including bulk
bazel test //tests-system:all_tests
# Run a single test directory
bazel test //tests-system:checks-1
- Create the directory
tests-system/<name>/with the usual TRLC source files and golden files (output,output.brief,output.json; optionallyoutput.smtlib). - If the test requires
--no-detailed-info(or any other trlc flag), add anoptionsfile containing those flags (whitespace-separated). The test runner reads this file automatically — no BUILD change is needed. - Bazel picks up the new directory on the next build. No changes to
tests-system/BUILDare required.
The tests in tests-large-partial/ exercise partial-loading of large
TRLC files:
# Run all partial tests
bazel test //tests-large-partial:partial_tests
# Run a single partial test
bazel test //tests-large-partial:partial-1New partial tests are picked up automatically — just add a
<name>.scenario / <name>.output pair in tests-large-partial/.
The system tests run trlc in-process as py_test targets, so Bazel can
instrument the trlc library code with coverage.py automatically.
# Collect coverage across all system tests and api-examples
bazel coverage //tests-system/...
# Render as HTML (requires lcov / genhtml)
genhtml "$(bazel info output_path)/_coverage/_coverage_report.dat" -o htmlcovThe coverage namespace in .bazelrc sets --combined_report=lcov and
--instrumentation_filter=//trlc[/:] so only the trlc library is measured.
