# Introduction
`primary_packages.txt` is the master list, containing all packages
installed or injected in the pipx tests `tests`. Platform-specific list files
listing both these primary packages and their dependencies are generated from
it. These platform-specific list files are used to populate the directory
`.pipx_tests/package_cache`.
# Generating the platform-specific lists from the master list
Using the Github Workflow
* Make sure that the file in this directory `primary_packages.txt` is up to date for every package & version that is installed or injected in the tests.
* Manually activate the Github workflow: Create tests package lists for offline tests
* Download the artifact `lists` and put the files from it into this directory.
Or to locally generate these lists, on the target platform execute:
* `nox -s create_test_package_list`
# Updating / Populating the directory `.pipx_tests/package_cache` before running the tests
Pre-populating this directory allows the pipx `tests` to run completely offline.
Nox instructions
* execute `nox -s refresh_packages_cache`
Or manually execute from the top-level pipx repo directory:
* `mkdir -p .pipx_tests/package_cache`
* `python3 scripts/update_package_cache.py testdata/tests_packages .pipx_tests/package_cache`
