29.Dt ATF-RUN 1
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm atf-run
33.Nd Kyua-based implementation of the deprecated atf-run
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm
36.Op Fl v Ar var=value Op .. Fl v Ar varN=valueN
37.Op Ar test_program1 Op Ar .. test_programN
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39.Em DISCLAIMER :
40This version of
41.Nm
42provides a reimplementation of ATF's execution engine built on top of Kyua.
43This is a transitional script and should only be considered a helper to
44migrate away from ATF.
45Therefore, this version of
46.Nm
47mimics the
48.Em behavior
49of the original
50.Nm
51but
52.Em NOT
53the specific output of the command.
54The output of this implementation is significantly different as that of the
55original one.
56Please migrate to using
57.Sq kyua test
58as soon as feasible.
59See the
60.Sx Migration path
61section below for further details.
62.Pp
63.Nm
64executes a collection of test programs or, in other words, a complete
65test suite.
66The output generated by this tool is minimalistic: such output is only intended
67to keep track of what
68.Nm
69is doing, as the execution of a test suite can take a long time.
70In order to obtain detailed reports, please see the
71.Xr atf-report 1
72utility instead.
73.Pp
74The list of test programs to execute is read from a
75.Pa Kyuafile
76or an
77.Pa Atffile
78file present in the current directory, in this order.
79These files describe the test suite stored in the directory they live in,
80which aside from the list of test programs also includes meta-data and
81configuration variables.
82In those cases where only an Atffile exists, the
83.Xr atf2kyua 1
84utility is used to convert the old Atffiles to new Kyuafiles in a temporary
85directory.
86.Pp
87.Nm
88is also in charge of reading the configuration files that tune the behavior
89of each test program and passing down the necessary variables to them.
90More details on how this is done are given in the
91.Sx Configuration
92section.
93.Pp
94In the first synopsis form,
95.Nm
96parses the
97.Pa Atffile
98in the current directory and runs all the test programs specified in it.
99If any test program names are given as part of the command line, those are
100the ones executed instead of the complete list.
101.Pp
102The following options are available:
103.Bl -tag -width XvXvarXvalueXX
104.It Fl v Ar var=value
105Sets the configuration variable
106.Ar var
107to the given value
108.Ar value .
109.El
110.Ss Configuration
111.Nm
112reads configuration data from multiple places.
113After all of these places have been analyzed, a list of variable-value
114pairs are passed to the test programs to be run.
115.Pp
116The following locations are scanned for configuration data, in order.
117Items down the list override values defined above them:
118.Bl -enum
119.It
120Configuration variables defined in the system-wide configuration file
121shared among all test suites.
122This lives in
123.Pa ${ATF_CONFDIR}/common.conf .
124.It
125Configuration variables defined in the system-wide test-suite-specific
126configuration file.
127This lives in
128.Pa ${ATF_CONFDIR}/<test-suite>.conf .
129.It
130Configuration variables defined in the user-specific configuration file
131shared among all test suites.
132This lives in
133.Pa ${HOME}/.atf/common.conf .
134.It
135Configuration variables defined in the user-specific test-suite-specific
136configuration file.
137This lives in
138.Pa ${HOME}/.atf/<test-suite>.conf .
139.It
140Configuration variables provided as part of the command line through the
141.Fl v
142option.
143.El
144.Pp
145The value of
146.Va ATF_CONFDIR
147in the above list is determined by the build settings of the
148.Nm
149script, but its value can be overriden by setting such variable in the
150environment.
151.Pp
152The following configuration variables are globally recognized:
153.Bl -tag -width XunprivilegedXuserXX
154.It Va unprivileged-user
155The name of the system user that atf-run will drop root privileges into
156for test cases defining
157.Sq require.user=unprivileged .
158Note that this is
159.Em not provided for security purposes ;
160this feature is only for the convenience of the user.
161.El
162.Ss Migration path
163Moving from
164.Nm
165to
166.Sq kyua test
167is rather simple.
168.Pp
169The first step is converting all of your Atffiles to Kyuafiles.
170The
171.Xr atf2kyua 1
172script will help you in performing this initial conversion.
173.Pp
174Once all the Kyuafiles are in place, the following examples show how to
175convert some common
176.Nm
177invocations to their corresponding
178.Sq kyua test
179ones.
180.Bd -literal -offset indent
181### Run all tests.
182$ atf-run
183$ kyua test
184
185### Run specific test programs.
186$ atf-run dir1/foo_test bar_test
187$ kyua test dir1/foo_test bar_test
188
189### Set configuration variables; foo is the name of your test suite.
190$ atf-run -v unprivileged-user=nobody -v iterations=10
191$ kyua test -v unprivileged-user=nobody -v test_suite.foo.iterations=10
192.Ed
193.Pp
194That said,
195.Xr kyua 1
196is way more flexible than
197.Nm
198ever was.
199Please see Kyua's documentation or built-in command-line help to explore
200all the additional features included.
