Call 'rake test' to run tests. You can change the XML parser the tests should use by setting the OSMLIB_XML_PARSER environment variable:

OSMLIB_XML_PARSER=REXML rake test  # (default)
OSMLIB_XML_PARSER=Libxml rake test
OSMLIB_XML_PARSER=Expat rake test

Part of the testing is done against OpenStreetMap Development API Server.

Follow there steps to properly setup access to the server:

1. If you don't have yet, create a login at api06.dev.openstreetmap.org;

2. Create a file name 'passwd' at gem root directory 'osmlib/'.

3. Put username and password into the file, separated by a colon.

Example:

username:password
