3 This directory contains test scripts that are useful for running a
4 bunch of tests all at once.
6 There are two parts to this:
8 * The test runner (selftest/selftest.pl)
11 selftest.pl simply outputs subunit, which can then be formatted or analyzed
12 by tools that understand the subunit protocol. One of these tools is
13 format-subunit, which is used by default as part of "make test".
17 The available testsuites are obtained from a script, usually
18 source{3,4}/selftest/tests.sh. This script should for each testsuite output
19 the name of the test, the command to run and the environment that should be
20 provided. Use the included "plantest" function to generate the required output.
27 The testsuites should exit with a non-zero exit code if at least one
28 test failed. Skipped tests should not influence the exit code.
32 Testsuites can simply use the exit code to indicate whether all of their
33 tests have succeeded or one or more have failed. It is also possible to
34 provide more granular information using the Subunit protocol.
36 This protocol works by writing simple messages to standard output. Any
37 messages that can not be interpreted by this protocol are considered comments
38 for the last announced test.
40 For a full description of the subunit protocol, see ../lib/subunit/README.
42 The following commands are Samba extensions to Subunit:
46 testsuite-count: number
48 Announce the number of tests that is going to be run.
54 The testsuite name is used as prefix for all containing tests.
60 Mark the testsuite with the specified name as skipped.
64 testsuite-success: name
66 Indicate that the testsuite has succeeded successfully.
72 Indicate that a testsuite has failed.
76 Tests often need to run against a server with particular things set up,
77 a "environment". This environment is provided by the test "target": Samba 3,
80 The following environments are currently available:
82 - none: No server set up, no variables set.
83 - dc: Domain controller set up. The following environment variables will
86 * USERNAME: Administrator user name
87 * PASSWORD: Administrator password
90 * SERVER: DC host name
91 * SERVER_IP: DC IPv4 address
92 * NETBIOSNAME: DC NetBIOS name
93 * NETIOSALIAS: DC NetBIOS alias
95 - member: Domain controller and member server that is joined to it set up. The
96 following environment variables will be set:
98 * USERNAME: Domain administrator user name
99 * PASSWORD: Domain administrator password
100 * DOMAIN: Domain name
102 * SERVER: Name of the member server
108 To run all the tests use::
112 To run a quick subset (aiming for about 1 minute of testing) run::
116 To run a specific test, use this syntax::
118 make test TESTS=testname
122 make test TESTS=samba4.BASE-DELETE
