# Catch2 console example This example shows how to combine Catch2 test framework with ESP-IDF `console` component. In this example, you can execute test cases from an interactive console on an ESP chip. ## Using the example To run the example, build and flash the project as usual. For example, with an ESP32 chip: ```bash idf.py set-target esp32 idf.py build flash monitor ``` In the console, use `test` command to invoke Catch2. `test` accepts the same command line arguments as Catch2 tests on the host: - `test -h` — prints command line argument reference - `test --list-tests` — lists all the registered tests - `test` — runs all the registered tests - `test <test name|pattern|tags>` — runs specific tests [See Catch2 documentation](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/blob/devel/docs/command-line.md) for the complete command line argument reference.
To create a project from this example, run:
idf.py create-project-from-example "espressif/catch2^3.4.0~1:catch2-console"
