Snort3 Test Explorer for Visual Studio Code

Snort3 Test Explorer is a visual studio code extension that lets you run snort3 tests in the Sidebar of Visual Studio Code. This extention will activate when there is a snort3_test folder open in the workspace and automatically list all the tests available in the Test Explorer side bar.

Setup

• install the Snort3 Test Explorer extension
• make sure the Snort3 Build Tools extention is installed
• configure the Snort3 Build Tools extention properly
• open an workspace with snort3 and snort3_test folder in it
• configure and build snort3 for regtest using Snort3 Build Tools

You should now see a tree view of all the tests in the side panel:

Click on the run test button to start the tests

Currently pcap based regressions and spell test is supported
