I've modified code related to backend IR. What tests (gradle tasks) should I run?

[dmitriy.novozhilov]

If it is JVM IR, then run tests from compiler/tests-common-new/tests-gen/org/jetbrains/kotlin/test/runners/codegen

[mcpiroman]

It is common IR, it may affect all backends.

[dmitriy.novozhilov]

Ok, then you should also run js tests in js/js.tests/tests-gen/org/jetbrains/kotlin/js/test and native in kotlin-native/backend.native/tests/codegen

Thanks, but to what gradle tasks these paths correspond (i.e. how do I run them in cli)? For js I found jsIrTest, but not for jvm and native

[dmitriy.novozhilov]

For jvm it's just :compiler:tests-common-new:test (you can filter specific runners with --tests flag)
I don't know extacly for native, but it most likely :kotlin-native:backend.native:test (also check for kotlin-native/Readme.md)

Also you can use combined gradle tasks from main build file: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/build.gradle.kts#L648
But they includes a lot of different tests (not only IR tests), so running those tasks can take much time
