I have never run the test suite before. When I follow the instructions on the Linux build page it says:

Kodi has a test suite which uses the Google C++ Testing Framework. This framework is provided directly in Kodi's source tree.
Build and run Kodi's test suite:
make check
Build Kodi's test suite without running it:
make kodi-test

But none of those commands succeeded. I ran them from the top level directory like the rest of the build. I have successfully built and run the gtest for the component I was working on (StringUtils) . This required me to copy it over to it's own directory and massage it to not depend upon Kodi.

But now i need to run the tests with Kodi to test more of the code.

I should have said that I am working with Matrix 19.4

I made a clean checkout, followed Ubuntu guide, then Linux guide and was able to execute make check command.

Code:


cd $HOME/kodi-build
cmake ../kodi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=x11 -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gl
make check

...
[100%] Built target kodi-test
