# gst-validate-launcher
`gst-validate-launcher` is an application to create full testsuites on
top of the GstValidate tools, testing behaviour with dynamic pipelines
and user actions (seeking, changing the pipeline state, etc.) as
described by the [scenario](GstValidateScenario) format.
`gst-validate-launcher` is an application to run unit or integration testsuites
providing a set of options and features to help debugging them easier.
## Run the GStreamer unit tests
Running GStreamer unit tests inside `gst-build` is as simple as doing:
```
gst-validate-launcher check.gst*
```
If you only want to run GStreamer core tests:
```
gst-validate-launcher check.gstreamer*
```
Or to run unit tests from gst-plugins-base
```
gst-validate-launcher check.gst-plugins-base
```
## Run the GstValidate default testsuite
GstValidate comes with a default testsuite to be executed on a default
set of media samples. Those media samples are stored with `git-annex` so
set of media samples. Those media samples are stored with `git-lfs` so
you will need it to be able to launch the default testsuite.
The first time you launch the testsuite, you will need to make sure that
the media samples are downloaded. To do so and launch the testsuite you
can simply do:
We recommendusing `gst-build` to setup everything needed to run the testsuite
and you can simply do:
gst-validate-launcher validate --sync
gst-validate-launcher validate
This will only launch the GstValidate tests and not other applications
that might be supported (currently `ges-launch` is also supported and
has its own default testsuite).
Launching the default testsuite will open/close many windows, you might
want to mute it so you can keep using your computer:
gst-validate-launcher validate --sync --mute
## Example of a testsuite implementation
To implement a testsuite, you will have to write some simple python code

For remote streams, you should use
`gst-validate-media-check-GST_API_VERSION`. For an http stream you can
`gst-validate-media-check-1.0`. For an http stream you can
for example do:
