NAME¶
aesubunit - run SubUnit testsSYNOPSIS¶
aesubunit [ option... ] filename...DESCRIPTION¶
The aesubunit command is used to invoke tests via the http://www.robertcollins.net/unittest/subunit unit testing interface. The shape of the external unittest should not need to be known a-priori. After the test has run, tests should still exist as discrete objects, so that anything taking a reference to them doesn't get 50 copies of the same object. The aesubunit command may be used to replace the test_command or batch_test_command fields of the project configuration file.Control Protocol¶
The results of the test are obtained by examining the standard output of the tests as they run. The text is meant to be human readable, so that tests may run stand-alone. Tests should ideally print a header of the formtest testing test: test label testing: test label
success success: successful test label successful: test label
failure test label failure: test label
failure test label [ ] failure: test label [ ]
The square brackets indicate text which may describe the test in more detail. It
will be printed on the standartd output by the aesubunit program.
A test which produces no result (neither succes nor failure) uses the following
forms
error: test label error: test label [
]
In general, unexpected output from the test will be sent through to the
aesubunit standard output.
If a subunit test terminates with an exit status other than zero, this is taken
to be a no result indication for that test.
OPTIONS¶
The following options are understood:- -Batch
- This option may be useed to specify that a batch test should be performed, and produce results in the appropriate form.
- -Change number
- This option may be used to specify a particular change within a project. See aegis(1) for a complete description of this option.
- -Project name
- This option may be used to select the project of interest. When no -Project option is specified, the AEGIS_PROJECT environment variable is consulted. If that does not exist, the user's $HOME/.aegisrc file is examined for a default project field (see aeuconf(5) for more information). If that does not exist, when the user is only working on changes within a single project, the project name defaults to that project. Otherwise, it is an error.
