How can I test a Juju Charm?

Question

I have written a Juju Charm and want to test it.

What are the steps to test it?

Answer 1

Use the command charm proof to test your charm before deployment.

for example:

charm proof <path_to_charm>

Then, to test the deployment:

juju deploy --repository <somedir> local:<charmname>

With <somedir> as the path to the directory above your charm (so if we have a charm stored in ~/code/charms/gitolite, it'd be ~/code/charms/), and <charmname> as the name of your charm.
