⠀Unit Tests Submodule

This repository is designed to be used as a submodule where I create unit tests for my projects.

To run unit tests more visual in VS Code, you need to install the Python extension. Then, press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the Command Palette. Type "Python: Configure Tests" and select it. Choose the unittest testing framework, and follow the prompts to configure the test folder and file pattern.

After completing the configuration, a Testing icon will appear in the Activity Bar on the left. If it doesn’t, right-click on the sidebar and enable it.

⠀How to Use Submodules

• Clone Main Repository Including Submodules

  git clone --recurse-submodules <main-repo-url>

  If you have already cloned the repository without the --recurse-submodules option, it can still be initialized by running:

  git submodule update --init --remote --merge

  Or:

  git submodule init
  git submodule update

• Check Submodules Version

  git submodule status

• Update Submodules

  If changes are made to this repository, developers will need to pull them by running:

  git submodule update --remote

• Committing Changes to the Submodule Repository

  If a developer modifies the submodule, they need to commit the changes in this repository and then commit the updated submodule reference in the main project:

  • Inside the submodule directory:

    git add <new-files>
    git commit -m "Updated submodule"

  • Then, in the main project directory:

    git add <submodule-folder>
    git commit -m "Updated Tests submodule"

  If you try to commit from the main project directory without committing the submodule first, you will see a message like this:

  warning: not adding submodule <submodule-folder>

  And the changes will not be commited to this repository. Submodules in Git are independent repositories, meaning that when you modify files within a submodule, Git will not automatically track these changes when you're in the main project directory.
