|
The test programs and test cases run by
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
are all executed in a deterministic environment.
|
||
|
This known, clean environment serves to make the test execution as
|
||
|
reproducible as possible and also to prevent clashes between tests that may,
|
||
|
for example, create auxiliary files with overlapping names.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
For plain test programs and for TAP test programs, the whole test program
|
||
|
is run under a single instance of the environment described in this page.
|
||
|
For ATF test programs (see
|
||
|
.Xr atf 7 ) ,
|
||
|
each individual test case
|
||
|
.Em and
|
||
|
test cleanup routine are executed in separate environments.
|
||
|
.Bl -tag -width XX
|
||
|
.It Process space
|
||
|
Each test is executed in an independent processes.
|
||
|
Corollary: the test can do whatever it wants to the current process (such
|
||
|
as modify global variables) without having to undo such changes.
|
||
|
.It Session and process group
|
||
|
The test is executed in its own session and its own process group.
|
||
|
There is no controlling terminal attached to the session.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Should the test spawn any children, the children should maintain the same
|
||
|
session and process group.
|
||
|
Modifying any of these settings prevents
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
from being able to kill any stray subprocess as part of the cleanup phase.
|
||
|
If modifying these settings is necessary, or if any subprocess started by
|
||
|
the test decides to use a different process group or session, it is the
|
||
|
responsibility of the test to ensure those subprocesses are forcibly
|
||
|
terminated during cleanup.
|
||
|
.It Work directory
|
||
|
The test is executed in a temporary directory automatically created by the
|
||
|
runtime engine.
|
||
|
Corollary: the test can write to its current directory
|
||
|
without needing to clean any files and/or directories it creates.
|
||
|
The runtime engine takes care to recursively delete the temporary directories
|
||
|
after the execution of a test case.
|
||
|
Any file systems mounted within the temporary directory are also unmounted.
|
||
|
.It Home directory
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Va HOME
|
||
|
environment variable is set to the absolute path of the work directory.
|
||
|
.It Umask
|
||
|
The value of the umask is set to 0022.
|
||
|
.It Environment
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Va LANG ,
|
||
|
.Va LC_ALL ,
|
||
|
.Va LC_COLLATE ,
|
||
|
.Va LC_CTYPE ,
|
||
|
.Va LC_MESSAGES ,
|
||
|
.Va LC_MONETARY ,
|
||
|
.Va LC_NUMERIC
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Va LC_TIME
|
||
|
variables are unset.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Va TZ
|
||
|
variable is set to
|
||
|
.Sq UTC .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Va TMPDIR
|
||
|
variable is set to the absolute path of the work directory.
|
||
|
This is to prevent the test from mistakenly using a temporary directory
|
||
|
outside of the automatically-managed work directory, should the test use the
|
||
|
.Xr mktemp 3
|
||
|
familiy of functions.
|
||
|
.It Process limits
|
||
|
The maximum soft core size limit is raised to its corresponding hard limit.
|
||
|
This is a simple, best-effort attempt at allowing tests to dump core for
|
||
|
further diagnostic purposes.
|
||
|
.It Configuration varibles
|
||
|
The test engine may pass run-time configuration variables to the test program
|
||
|
via the environment.
|
||
|
The name of the configuration variable is prefixed with
|
||
|
.Sq TEST_ENV_
|
||
|
so that a configuration variable of the form
|
||
|
.Sq foo=bar
|
||
|
becomes accessible in the environment as
|
||
|
.Sq TEST_ENV_foo=bar .
