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.py. 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 the README file in the subunit
41 repository at http://github.com/testing-cabal/subunit.
43 The following commands are Samba extensions to Subunit:
49 The testsuite name is used as prefix for all containing tests.
55 Mark the testsuite with the specified name as skipped.
59 testsuite-success: name
61 Indicate that the testsuite has succeeded successfully.
67 Indicate that a testsuite has failed.
71 Tests often need to run against a server with particular things set up,
72 a "environment". This environment is provided by the test "target": Samba 3,
75 The environments are currently available include
77 - none: No server set up, no variables set.
78 - dc,s3dc: Domain controller set up. The following environment variables will
81 * USERNAME: Administrator user name
82 * PASSWORD: Administrator password
85 * SERVER: DC host name
86 * SERVER_IP: DC IPv4 address
87 * SERVER_IPV6: DC IPv6 address
88 * NETBIOSNAME: DC NetBIOS name
89 * NETIOSALIAS: DC NetBIOS alias
91 - member,s4member,s3member: Domain controller and member server that is joined to it set up. The
92 following environment variables will be set:
94 * USERNAME: Domain administrator user name
95 * PASSWORD: Domain administrator password
98 * SERVER: Name of the member server
100 See Samba.pm, Samba3.pm and Samba4.pm for the full list.
105 To run all the tests use::
109 To run a quicker subset run::
113 To run a specific test, use this syntax::
115 make test TESTS=testname
119 make test TESTS=samba4.BASE-DELETE
