Editor commands

Vest defines multiple editor commands that are added to Godot's command palette and can also be accessed by keyboard shortcuts:

Run test

Shortcut: F7

Runs the currently open script as a vest test. If the script is not a test, a warning is printed and nothing happens.

Note

You'll need to select Vest on the bottom panel to see the test results, as addons can't change the focused panels by themselves.

Debug test

Shortcut: Ctrl+F7

Runs the currently open script, in debug mode. This means that any breakpoints or other debugger configurations you've set will be active.

If the script is not a test, a warning is printed and nothing will happen.

Note

You'll need to select Vest on the bottom panel to see the test results, as addons can't change the focused panels by themselves.

Create test

Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+T

Opens Godot's Create Script dialog pre-filled with the appropriate base class and script path, based on the project settings. A convenient way to create a test for the currently open script, in the right directory with the right file name.

If the currently open script is already a test, nothing happens.

Go to test

Shortcut: Ctrl+T

Quickly switch between the test and the script being tested. If multiple tests are found for the currently open script, a pop-up menu opens with the candidates. If no tests are found for the currently open script, an option to create one is presented.

If the currently open script is a test, vest will try to find the script it tests and open that.

Tip

Editor commands are influenced by the Project settings - take a look to customize command behavior.
