- 'function fn_name\n{' breaks on older FreeBSD default shells, so use the more
widely supported 'fn_name () {'. This needs more fixing..
- test for integers ought to use the proper operators
- test for strings ought to use quoting of the strings to be fair to strange
implementations of test(1)
- make sure not to ignore return-codes != 0 from commands; Some shells exit
immediately on this (much like explicitely requesting set -e in e.g. bash)
TODO:
*) Some older shells do not allow a space after the test-condition in an "if"
statement. This doesn't work:
if [ $status -ne 0 ] ; then
as opposed to this:
if [ $status -ne 0 ]; then
or this
if [ $status -ne 0 ]
then
*) strict spacing between commands. In some shells you have to say:
foo ; bar ; baz
The affected shells barf on stuff like ommitting the space, so this doesn't
work:
foo; bar ;baz
*) $() vs. ``
The former isn't really portable as opposed to the latter.
*) fix frong assumption that the testsuite is run from the source-dir.
This is a complete misconception and renders the testsuite completely useless.
That said, i note that IMO a test-harness ought to do it's best to work in
a wide variety of environments, everything else defeats it's purpose.
$COMMAND environment variable, instead put full command line (including
command to run) in second argument. Modify $PATH to have test versions of
commands at start of path. (Also more infrastructure for testing as root,
work in progress...)
meaning we want to run them in a chroot environment. To help with this,
I worked out a utility function that makes it really easy to set up a chroot
environment.
COMMAND=sort ./sort.tests
So we can compare against non-busybox versions, and possibly our testsuite
will be useful to somebody like the Linux Test Project someday.
Redid testing.sh to add new command, "optional", to skip tests that require
certain features. (use: `optional FEATURE_SORT_BIG`, or `optional ""` to
stop skipping.) Note that optional is a NOP if the environment variable
"OPTIONFLAGS" is blank, so although we're marking up the tests with busybox
specific knowledge, it doesn't interfere with running the tests without
busybox.
Moved setting the "OPTIONFLAGS" environment variable to runtest. Philosophy:
busybox-specific stuff belongs in runtest; both testing.sh and the tests
themselves should be as busybox-agnostic as possible.
Moved detecting that a command isn't in busybox at all (hence skipping the
entire command.tests file) to runtests. Rationale: optional can't currently
test for more than one feature at a time, so if we clear anything with
optional "" we might perform tests we don't want to.
Marked up busybox.tests to know which tests need CAT enabled. Fixed up other
tests to be happy with new notation.
I suspect egrep should be appended to grep. It's a sub-feature, really...
This is used to see if given tests should be run (are available) or not.
Print "UNTESTED: descr" if the applet or feature is not available.
- add _BB_CONFIG_DEP to existing new.tests
- move old grep test to new test infrastructure and add a few more test for
grep.
(I.E. any argv[0] that starts with "busybox" winds up in busybox_main().)
Added testing/busybox.tests which tests the following permutations:
./busybox
./busybox-suffix
./busybox cat
./busybox-suffix cat
./busybox --help
./busybox-suffix --help
./busybox --help cat
./busybox-suffix --help cat
./busybox --help unknown
./busybox-suffix --help unknown
./unknown
Also repair the test suite so ./runtest calls the ".tests" scripts properly.
Note: you can now go "busybox busybox busbox ls -l" and it'll take it. The
new code is pretty generic. I can block that if anybody can come up with a
good reason to...
