155 To test the results, you need to remove the
156 <parameter>-Dtests=false</parameter> switch, and to have <xref
157 linkend="mutter"/> compiled and installed with tests also.
158
159 To run the tests, issue: <command>ninja test</command>. You must be
160 running an X session to run the tests. Some will fail if <xref
161 linkend="gdm"/> is not installed. <phrase revision="sysv">Several
162 more tests may fail in the Sysv environment.</phrase>
163 <!-- "Failed to read monitors config file
164 '/home/xry111/.config/monitors.xml': Logical monitors not
165 adjacent"
166 The same thing happens in mutter but it's worked around with
167 HOME="". We cannot use HOME="" here or more tests will fail.
168 We also cannot tell the users to remove monitors.xml because
169 doing so will purge their monitor settings. Maybe we can
170 use bwrap to run the test with an empty tmpfs mounted on $HOME
171 in a separate namespace, but it's too overkill IMO.
172 DO NOT REMOVE unless you've tested with a "complex multi-monitor
173 configuration" (with mixed scaling settings and "strange"
174 positions of monitors). -->
175 One test named <filename>CSS styling support</filename> is known to
176 fail with some multi-monitor configurations.
