Getting started
===============

Development dependencies
------------------------

Working on ``cryptography`` requires the installation of a small number of
development dependencies in addition to the dependencies for
:doc:`/installation`. These are handled by the use of ``nox``, which can be
installed with ``pip``.

.. code-block:: console

    $ # Create a virtualenv and activate it
    $ # Set up your cryptography build environment
    $ pip install nox
    $ # Specify your Python version here.
    $ nox -e tests -p py310

OpenSSL on macOS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You must have installed `OpenSSL`_ (via `Homebrew`_ , `MacPorts`_) before
invoking ``nox`` or else pip will fail to compile.

Running tests
-------------

``cryptography`` unit tests are found in the ``tests/`` directory and are
designed to be run using `pytest`_. ``nox`` automatically invokes ``pytest``:

.. code-block:: console

    $ nox -e tests -p py310
    ...
    62746 passed in 220.43 seconds


You can also specify a subset of tests to run as positional arguments:

.. code-block:: console

    $ # run the whole x509 testsuite, plus the fernet tests
    $ nox -e tests -p py310 -- tests/x509/ tests/test_fernet.py
