How to run tests included with TypeScript sourcecode?

Question

TypeScript comes with the full source code and unit tests.

How do I run these tests? Or is it only by building the whole thing?

On Windows (preferably a VS2012 or 2010 command prompt, or with suitable stuff on the PATH), run:

nmake runtests

You'll need to have the TYPESCRIPT_HOST environment variable set to node (with node.js installed). Alternatively, nmake runtests HOST=node.

You can also run a subset of tests:

nmake runtests tests=tests\compiler\someVariousTest.ts

There's also a smaller subset for compiler-only tests:

nmake runtests-compiler
