# How to run & debug a specific test without anything else to keep the feedback loop short? # How to run & debug a specific test without anything else to keep the feedback loop short?
Borrowing from the CI scripts to make something workflow specific, we have the following. There is a script called debug-test.sh in the scripts folder that takes a REGEX as its only parameter. For example, running the following command will output an interactive list from which you can select a test. It will then build & run in the debugger for you.
```bash ```bash
./scripts/debug-test.sh test-tokenizer
# Once in the debugger, i.e. at the chevrons prompt, setting a breakpoint could be as follows:
>>> b main
```
 
# How does the script work?
If you want to be able to use the concepts contained in the script separately, the important ones are briefly outlined below.
```bash
# Step 1: Prepare the Build Environment
rm -rf build-ci-debug && mkdir build-ci-debug && cd build-ci-debug rm -rf build-ci-debug && mkdir build-ci-debug && cd build-ci-debug
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DLLAMA_CUDA=1 -DLLAMA_FATAL_WARNINGS=ON .. && cd .. cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DLLAMA_CUDA=1 -DLLAMA_FATAL_WARNINGS=ON .. && cd ..
# runs faster
# Step 2: Build the Project
make -j make -j
# if you see the "you don't have "cache" installed warning, install it to save immense amounts of time!"
# Step 3: Navigate to Test Directory
# Tip: If you see a warning about missing "cache" during installation. Then install it to save immense amounts of time!
cd tests cd tests
# Step 4: Identify Test Command for Debugging
# The output of this command will give you the command & arguments needed to run GDB. # The output of this command will give you the command & arguments needed to run GDB.
# -R test-tokenizer -> looks for all the test files named test-tokenizer* (R=Regex) # -R test-tokenizer : looks for all the test files named test-tokenizer* (R=Regex)
# -N -> "show-only" disables test execution & shows test commands that you can feed to GDB. # -N : "show-only" disables test execution & shows test commands that you can feed to GDB.
ctest -R test-tokenizer-0 -V -N # -V : Verbose Mode
# OUPUT: ctest -R ${test_suite} -V -N
# 1: Test command: /home/ubuntu/workspace/llama.cpp/bin/test-tokenizer-0 "/home/ubuntu/workspace/llama.cpp/tests/../models/ggml-vocab-llama-spm.gguf"
# 1: Working Directory: .
# Labels: main
# Test #1: test-tokenizer-0-llama-spm
# Now that we have the command & arguments needed to run a test, we can debug it with GDB. # Step 5: Debug the Test
# I copied the command from the above output, your scenario will be different. gdb --args ${test_path} ${test_args}
gdb --args /home/ubuntu/workspace/llama.cpp/bin/test-tokenizer-0 "/home/ubuntu/workspace/llama.cpp/tests/../models/ggml-vocab-llama-spm.gguf" gdb --args /home/ubuntu/workspace/llama.cpp/bin/test-tokenizer-0 "/home/ubuntu/workspace/llama.cpp/tests/../models/ggml-vocab-llama-spm.gguf"
``` ```
