Tests¶

Programs in the tests directory test functions of the same name.

Integration Tests¶

Integration tests are run by main.

Add integration tests by adding a test configuration to integration sub-directory. Test configuration files are shell scripts, but should only set variables specifying the test, namely:

command¶: Command to test.

Attention

The command is eval-ed before being run.

environ¶: Environment for the command.

xstatus¶: Status that the command is expected to exit with. Defaults to zero.

output¶: A glob that the standard output should match or - if command should print no output.

error¶: A glob that the standard error should match or - if command should print no errors.

check¶

Command to run as test. Takes precedence over command.

The command must exit with the result of OR-ing:

0	Every test succeeded.
1	Some tests failed.
2	Some tests were skipped.
4	An unexpected error occurred.

The command may also exit with status 4 right away.

skip¶: Set to a non-empty value to skip the test.

slow¶: Set to a non-empty value to mark the test as slow. It will then be skipped by make quickcheck.

valgrind¶: Set to the empty string to skip the test when checking for memory issues will Valgrind.

valgrindopts¶: Options to pass to Valgrind.

For example:

command="para FOO=quux 'sh -c \"echo \$FOO\"'"
environ='FOO=qux'
output=quux

Scripts run by integration tests can be found in the scripts sub-directory.

Note

Commands run by integration tests are also run by scripts/runvalgrind and scripts/runleaks.

Unit tests¶

Any program other than main performs a unit test.

Add unit tests by adding their sources to the unittestsrcs macro and their dependencies to the Tests section of Makefile.in.

For example:

unittestsrcs = \
    # [...]
    tests/foo.c \
    # [...]

#
# Tests
#

# [...]

tests/foo: tests/foo.o

tests/foo.o: tests/foo.c

file.x files hold auto-generated test cases.
