Before you start

For Anime/Manga list tests Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo (Anime#13759 and Manga#28107) will be used.

The test cases will create a backup of your list in the anime-list.txt and manga-list.txt files. Make sure you fix your ratings and any other information that might be overwritten by this test.

Ignore test failures for these known issues: ⚠️ External Issues.

Running Tests Locally

For local tests you can use Java 8+, however only methods in the Java 8 API may be used. The src/main/java9 and src/main/java11 folders should not be marked as a source root.

Run tests locally by adding a text file named client.txt that contains the client ID in the src/test/java/resources directory.

Please note that the client ID being used for tests must not have a client secret and must have an app redirect url of http://localhost:5050.

Running Tests using GitHub Actions

Tests can be run using GitHub Actions by running the MyAnimeList CI workflow manually in the actions tab of your fork. Note that this requires two secrets, a MAL_CLIENT which contains the client ID, and a MAL_TOKEN which contains the OAuth token (ex: Bearer <oauth token>).
