Building and testing

The UpdateHub agent is developed using Rust programing language due its focus in safety and system level integration. In case you wish to build it, you can:

cargo build --release

Some tests are marked as ignored because they require user previleges. There's a Vagrant file that can be used to run them. To run tests on the virtual machine run:

vagrant up
vagrant ssh

and inside the SSH session, run:

sudo -i
cd /vagrant
cargo test
cargo test -- --ignored
