, and all of the accounts

).
Docker Notes
If you have docker installed you can build an image and run this as a container.
docker build -t mysherlock-image .
Once the image is built sherlock can be invoked by running the following:
docker run --rm mysherlock-image user123
The optional --rm
flag removes the container filesystem on completion to prevent cruft build-up. See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#clean-up---rm
One caveat is the text file that is created will only exist in the container so you will not be able to get at that.
Or you can simply use "Docker Hub" to run sherlock
:
docker run theyahya/sherlock user123
Tests
If you are contributing to Sherlock, then Thank You!
Before creating a pull request with new development, please run the tests to ensure that all is well. It would also be a good idea to run the tests before starting development to distinguish problems between your environment and the Sherlock software.
The following is an example of the command line to run all the tests for Sherlock. This invocation hides the progress text that Sherlock normally outputs, and instead shows the verbose output of the tests.
% python3 -m unittest tests.all --buffer --verbose
Note that the tests are very much a work in progress. Significant work is required to get full test coverage. But, the current tests are working properly, and will be expanded as time goes by.
