Hi, I am looking for an example/github repo of EUint testing a distributed system that uses `riak_core`. I am trying to add `riak_core` to my erlang project, which already has extensive EUint testing, and would like to avoid using common tests. I have already used [this](https://github.com/lambdaclass/riak_core_tutorial) tutorial to get me started on adding `riak_core` to my project, however it only has a common test example. My first question would be: Is it even possible to use EUint testing while using `riak_core`? Thank you.

Maybe you can do it using [EUnit fixtures](https://learnyousomeerlang.com/eunit#fixtures), but IMHO it is more simple and intuitive to do this kind of stuff using common tests. Is there any specific reason why you want to avoid CT?

I think the main issue is that this is an existing code base which they’re trying to add riak-core into and they already have a large investment of eunit test cases. Would prefer not to have to abandon all those and start over. Is there a particular issue with EUnit that makes it not work with riak-core?

Common test and eunit are not mutually exclusive. One can use both tools in the same project.  
Neither test framework will offer a particularly smooth experience when working with a complex stateful distributed system like riak\_core, though.
