Yes, tests!
Because apparently, letting desktop users BE the developers of their own operating system is such as a GOOOOOOOOD idea...

Anyways, as part of cosplaying of a wannabe developer, we have tests for the major components of this NixOS configuration including the link:../lib[custom library], link:../modules/nixos[our custom NixOS modules], link:../modules/home-manager[custom home-manager modules], and so on.

Each of the test suite follows how the upstream does their tests.
For example, our home-manager module tests just copies what the upstream is doing.

You should be able to test them with the following command:

[source, shell]
----
# These commands assume you're in the project root.

# This test is for home-manager module tests because it is using nix-lib-nmt
# which is only working in pure mode.
nix-shell --pure ./tests/modules/home-manager -A list

# This is for the library.
nix eval -f ./tests lib

# This is for the wrapper-manager modules but it should be best done with the
# tests passthru attribute. We just don't have easy way of testing with them
# yet.
nix build -f ./tests/modules/wrapper-manager
