itest, itreplay - run tests and replay results itest [ -eo ] [ -c cflag ] [ -r count ] [ -v vlevel ] [ -C configfile ] [ -R recordroot ] [ testdir ... ]

itreplay [ -eo ] [ -v verbosity ] [ recorddir ... ]

Itest runs a sequence of tests, optionally recording all the results in a directory tree. The itreplay command replays the results of one or more recorded tests. Some options are common to both commands:

-e Display the standard error produced by the tests.

-o Display the standard output produced by the tests.

-v " vlevel" Set the verbosity level to vlevel (0-9). The higher the value, the more detail is displayed; the default level is 3.

The tests run by itest are specified as one or more directories either on the command line or in a configuration file. Options:

-c " cflag" Set the value in /dev/jit (usually 0 or 1; 0 for interpreted mode, 1 for compiled mode) to cflag

-r " count" Run the set of tests count times; a value of 0 means repeat indefinitely.

-v " vlevel" Set the verbosity level to vlevel (0-9). The higher the value, the more detail is displayed; the default level is 3.

-C " cfile" Use the configuration file cfile. The file should contain a list of test directories, one per line.

-R " recroot" Store the test results in a tree rooted at recroot. Record directories are named as integers starting at 1. Each test run creates a new directory numbered one greater than the highest existing directory.

The test results to be replayed by itreplay are specified on the command line as one or more record directories.

A test directory must contain either a t.dis file or a t.sh file, depending on whether the test is written as a Limbo program or as a sh (1) script. Limbo programs should use itslib (2); sh scripts should use sh-test (2). A test directory should also contain a README file (which is displayed by itest if the verbosity level is greater than 8), and any other files required for the test.

Tests are run with their working directory set to their own test directory.

Each record directory contains a number of files:

msgs All the messages generated by the test.

stderr Standard error from the test.

stdout Standard output from the test.

summary a one-line file containing the start time in seconds, elapsed time in ms, cflag and the name of the test directory.
