.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
executes a collection of test programs or, in other words, a complete
|
|
test suite.
|
|
The results of each test program are collected by the tool, and are then
|
|
multiplexed into a single machine-parseable report; see
|
|
.Xr atf-formats 5
|
|
for more details.
|
|
This report can later be transformed into many different and saner formats
|
|
using the
|
|
.Nm atf-report
|
|
tool.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The list of test programs to execute is read from an
|
|
.Pa Atffile
|
|
present in the current directory.
|
|
This file describes the test suite stored in the directory it lives in,
|
|
which aside from the list of test programs also includes meta-data and
|
|
configuration variables.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is also in charge of reading the configuration files that tune the behavior
|
|
of each test program and passing down the necessary variables to them.
|
|
More details on how this is done are given in the
|
|
.Sx Configuration
|
|
section.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the first synopsis form,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
parses the
|
|
.Pa Atffile
|
|
in the current directory and runs all the test programs specified in it.
|
|
If any test program names are given as part of the command line, those are
|
|
the ones executed instead of the complete list.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the second synopsis form,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will print information about all supported options and their purpose.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XvXvarXvalueXX
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Shows a short summary of all available options and their purpose.
|
|
.It Fl v Ar var=value
|
|
Sets the configuration variable
|
|
.Ar var
|
|
to the given value
|
|
.Ar value .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Configuration
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads configuration data from multiple places.
|
|
After all of these places have been analyzed, a list of variable-value
|
|
pairs are passed to the test programs to be run.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following locations are scanned for configuration data, in order.
|
|
Items down the list override values defined above them:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Configuration variables defined in the
|
|
.Pa Atffile .
|
|
.It
|
|
Configuration variables defined in the system-wide configuration file
|
|
shared among all test suites.
|
|
This lives in
|
|
.Pa ${ATF_CONFDIR}/common.conf .
|
|
.It
|
|
Configuration variables defined in the system-wide test-suite-specific
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
This lives in
|
|
.Pa ${ATF_CONFDIR}/<test-suite>.conf .
|
|
.It
|
|
Configuration variables defined in the user-specific configuration file
|
|
shared among all test suites.
|
|
This lives in
|
|
.Pa ${HOME}/.atf/common.conf .
|
|
.It
|
|
Configuration variables defined in the user-specific test-suite-specific
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
This lives in
|
|
.Pa ${HOME}/.atf/<test-suite>.conf .
|
|
.It
|
|
Configuration variables provided as part of the command line through the
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
option.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The value of
|
|
.Va ATF_CONFDIR
|
|
in the above list determined as detailed in
|
|
.Xr atf-config 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following configuration variables are globally recognized:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XunprivilegedXuserXX
|
|
.It Va unprivileged-user
|
|
The name of the system user that atf-run will drop root privileges into
|
|
for test cases defining
|
|
.Sq require.user=unprivileged .
|
|
Note that this is
|
|
.Em not provided for security purposes ;
|
|
this feature is only for the convenience of the user.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Hooks
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
internal behavior can be customized by the system administrator and the
|
|
user by means of hooks.
|
|
These hooks are written in the shell script language for simplicity and
|
|
are stored in the following files, which are read in the order provided
|
|
below:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
${ATF_CONFDIR}/atf-run.hooks
|
|
.It
|
|
${HOME}/.atf/atf-run.hooks
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following hooks are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width infoXstartXhookXX
|
|
.It info_start_hook
|
|
Called before
|
|
.Nm
|
|
executes any test program.
|
|
The purpose of this hook is to write additional
|
|
.Sq info
|
|
stanzas to the top of the output report; these are defined by the
|
|
.Sq application/X-atf-tps format
|
|
described in
|
|
.Xr atf-formats 5 .
|
|
Always use the
|
|
.Sq atf_tps_writer_info
|
|
function to print these.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This takes no parameters.
|
|
.It info_end_hook
|
|
Similar to
|
|
.Sq info_start_hook
|
|
but executed after all test programs have been run so that additional
|
|
.Sq info
|
|
stanzas can be added to the bottom of the output report.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This takes no parameters.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All hooks are accompanied by a function named
|
|
.Sq default_<hook_name>
|
|
that can be executed by them to invoke the default behavior built into
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
For example, in order to extend the default
|
|
.Sq info_start_hook
|
|
hook, we could write the following function:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
info_start_hook()
|
|
{
|
|
default_info_start_hook "${@}"
|
|
|
|
atf_tps_writer_info "uptime" "$(uptime)"
|
|
}
