# Running tests from the command line

It’s pretty simple to run a test project from the command line. Here is an example in Windows:

```bash
Unity.exe -runTests -batchmode -projectPath PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT -testResults C:\temp\results.xml -testPlatform PS4
```

> **Note**: Use the `-batchmode` option when running tests on the command line to remove the need for manual user inputs. For more information, see Unity [Command line arguments](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CommandLineArguments.html).

## Test Framework command line arguments

### forgetProjectPath

Don't save your current **Project** into the Unity launcher/hub history.

### runTests

Runs tests in the Project.

### testCategory

A semicolon-separated list of test categories to include in the run. A semi-colon separated list should be formatted as a string enclosed in quotation marks, e.g. `testCategory "firstCategory;secondCategory"`. If using both `testFilter` and `testCategory`, then only tests that match both are run. This argument supports negation using '!'. If using '!MyCategory' then no tests with the 'MyCategory' category will be included in the run.

### testFilter

A semicolon-separated list of test names to run, or a regular expression pattern to match tests by their full name. A semi-colon separated list should be formatted as a string enclosed in quotation marks, e.g. `testFilter "Low;Medium"`. This argument supports negation using '!'. If using the test filter '!MyNamespace.Something.MyTest', then all tests except that test will be run.

### testPlatform

The platform to run tests on. Accepted values: 

* **EditMode**
    * Edit Mode tests. Equivalent to running tests from the EditMode tab of the Test Runner window.
* **PlayMode**
    * Play Mode tests that run in the Editor. Equivalent to running tests from the PlayMode tab of the Test Runner window.
* Any value from the [BuildTarget](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/BuildTarget.html) enum.
    * Play Mode tests that run on a player built for the specified platform. Equivalent to using the **Run all tests (`<target_platform>`)** dropdown in the PlayMode tab of the Test Runner window.

> **Note**: If no value is specified for this argument, tests run in Edit Mode.

### assemblyNames

A semicolon-separated list of test assemblies to include in the run. A semi-colon separated list should be formatted as a string enclosed in quotation marks, e.g. `assemblyNames "firstAssembly;secondAssembly"`.

### testResults

The path where Unity should save the result file. By default, Unity saves it in the Project’s root folder. Test results follow the XML format as defined by NUnit, see the [NUnit documentation](https://docs.nunit.org/articles/nunit/technical-notes/usage/Test-Result-XML-Format.html). There is currently no common definition for exit codes reported by individual Unity components under test. The best way to understand the source of a problem is the content of error messages and stack traces.

### playerHeartbeatTimeout

The time, in seconds, the editor should wait for heartbeats after starting a test run on a player. This defaults to 10 minutes.

### runSynchronously

If included, the test run will run tests synchronously, guaranteeing that all tests runs in one editor update call. Note that this is only supported for EditMode tests, and that tests which take multiple frames (i.e. `[UnityTest]` tests, or tests with `[UnitySetUp]` or `[UnityTearDown]` scaffolding) will be filtered out.

### testSettingsFile 

Path to a *TestSettings.json* file that allows you to set up extra options for your test run. An example of the *TestSettings.json* file could look like this:

```json
{
  "scriptingBackend":"WinRTDotNET",
  "Architecture":null,
  "apiProfile":0
}
```

#### apiProfile

The .Net compatibility level. Set to one of the following values:  

- 1 - .Net 2.0 
- 2 - .Net 2.0 Subset 
- 3 - .Net 4.6 
- 5 - .Net micro profile (used by Mono scripting backend if **Stripping Level** is set to **Use micro mscorlib**) 
- 6 - .Net Standard 2.0 

#### appleEnableAutomaticSigning

Sets option for automatic signing of Apple devices.

#### appleDeveloperTeamID 

Sets the team ID for the apple developer account.

#### architecture

Target architecture for Android. Set to one of the following values: 

* None = 0
* ARMv7 = 1
* ARM64 = 2
* X86 = 4
* All = 4294967295

#### iOSManualProvisioningProfileType

Set to one of the following values: 

* 0 - Automatic 
* 1 - Development 
* 2 - Distribution iOSManualProvisioningProfileID

#### scriptingBackend

 Set to one of the following values, which should be given as a string literal enclosed in quotes:

- Mono2x
- IL2CPP
- WinRTDotNET

#### playerGraphicsAPI

 Set graphics API that will be used during test execution in the player. Value can be any [GraphicsDeviceType](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rendering.GraphicsDeviceType.html) as a string literal enclosed in quotes. Value will only be set if it is supported on the target platform.

### androidBuildAppBundle

A boolean setting that allows to build an Android App Bundle (AAB) instead of APK for tests.
