=head1 NAME
run_tests.pl -- Run makepp regression tests
=head1 SYNOPSYS
run_tests.pl[ options] test1.test test2.test ...
If no arguments are specified, defaults to *.test.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This script runs the specified tests and reports their result. With the -d
option it only prints a dot for each successful test. A test that is skipped
for a standard reason outputs a letter instead of a dot. The letters are B<l>
or B<m> for build cache tests that were skipped because links don't work or
MD5 is not available, B<s> for a repository test skipped because symbolic
links don't work or B<w> for a Unix test skipped because you are on Windows.
An B<x> means the test can't be executed because that would require a Shell.
If the test declares itself to not be relevant, that gives an B<r>.
Other reasons may be output as B<->.
With the -v option it also gives info about the used Perl version and system,
handy when parallely running this on many setups, and the used time for the
runner (and Perl scripts it runs directly) on the one hand and for the makepp
(and shell) child processes on the other hand.
With the -? option help more available options are shown.
A test is stored as a file with an extension of F<.test> (very economic and --
with some care -- editable spar format), or F<.tar>, F<.tar.bz2> or
F<.tar.gz>.
First a directory is created called F<I<testname>.tdir> (called the test directory
below). Then we cd to the directory, then extract the contents of the
tar file. This means that the tar file ought to contain top-level
files, i.e., it should contain F<./Makeppfile>, not F<I<testname>.tdir/Makeppfile>.
A test may also be the name of an existing directory. In that case, no
archive is unpacked and no cleanup is performed after the test.
The following files within this directory are important:
=over 4
=item is_relevant.pl
If this file exists, it should be a Perl script which return trueq if this test
is relevant on this platform, and dies or false if the test is not relevant.
The first argument to this script is the full path of the makepp executable we
are testing. The second argument is the current platform as seen by Perl.
The environment variable C<PERL> is the path to the perl executable we are
supposed to use (which is not necessarily the one in the path).
=item makepp_test_script.pl / makepp_test_script
If this file exists, it should be a Perl script or shell script which runs
makepp after setting up whatever is necessary. If this script dies or returns
false (!= 0 for shell), then the test fails.
In a Perl script you can use the predefined function makepp() to run it with
the correct path and wanted interpreter. It will die if makepp fails. You
can also use the function wait_timestamp( file ... ), which will wait for both
the local clock and the timestamp of newly created files to be at least a
second later than the newest given file. You also have the function n_files,
the first optional argument being a file name, where to write the count of
built files, the second a sub that gets called for each log line so you can
scan for messages. File::Copy's cp is also provided.
The first argument to this shell script is the full path of the makepp
executable we are testing. The environment variable C<PERL> is the path
to the perl executable we are supposed to use (which is not necessarily
the one in the path).
This script must be sufficiently generic to work in all test
environments. For example:
=over 4
=item *
It must not assume that perl is in the path. Always use PERL or $PERL instead.
=item *
It must work with the Bourne shell, i.e., it may contain no bash
extensions.
=item *
It must not use "echo -n" because that doesn't work on HP machines. But you
should use &echo and other builtins for efficiency anyway.
=back
If this file does not exist, then we simply execute the command
S<C<$PERL makepp>>, so makepp builds all the default targets in the makefile.
=item makeppextra.pm
If present this module is loaded into perl before the script by the makepp
function. See F<additional_tests/2003_11_14_timestamp_md5.test> for an
example of output redirection.
=item F<Makefile> or F<Makeppfile>
Obviously this is kind of important.
=item F<hint>
Suggestions about what might be wrong if this test fails.
=item answers
This directory says what the result should be after running the test.
Each file in the answers directory, or any of its subdirectories, is
compared to a file of the same name in the test directory (or its
corresponding subdirectory). The files must be exactly identical or the
test fails.
Files in the main test directory do not have to exist in the F<answers>
subdirectory; if not, their contents are not compared.
There is one special file in the F<answers> subdirectory: the file
F<answers/n_files> should contain three integers in ASCII format which are the
number of files that makepp ought to build, phony targets and that are
expected to have failed. This is compared to the corresponding number of
files that it actually built, extracted from the logfile F<.makepp/log>.
=item cleanup_script.pl
If this file exists, it should be a Perl script that is executed when the test
is done. This script is executed just before the test directory is deleted.
No cleanup script is necessary if the test directory and all the byproducts of
the test can be deleted with just C<unlink> and C<rmdir>. (This is usually
the case, so most tests don't include a cleanup script.)
