.Sh NAME
.Nm bsd.regress.mk
.Nd regression test master Makefile fragment
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd .include <bsd.regress.mk>
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
holds the standard routines used by the source regression tests.
Some variables and targets are for its internal use only.
The rest are documented here.
.Pp
Since this file also includes
.Nm bsd.prog.mk ,
all of the usual
.Ox
Makefile variables may be used to build the regression
test programs.
.Sh TARGETS
.Bl -tag -width regress
.It Cm depend
Build any dependencies required to carry out the current set
of regression tests.
.It Cm regress
Executes all of the regression targets defined in the Makefile.
If one of the tests fails, the line
.Qq FAILED
is printed to the standard output.
By default, execution continues with the next test and, after running
all the tests,
.Sy make Cm regress
exits with an exit status of 0 even if some of the tests failed.
.It Cm run-regress-*
Runs an individual regression test.
If the exit status of the program indicates an error or timeout,
then a failure is logged, otherwise the test is marked as a success.
.El
.Sh VARIABLES
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ev REGRESS_FAIL_EARLY
If this variable is set to anything but
.Dq no ,
the
.Cm regress
target will abort as soon as a test fails.
This variable is intended to be set at runtime in the environment
or in
.Pa /etc/mk.conf ,
but not in the test's Makefile itself.
.It Ev REGRESS_LOG
Points to the fully-qualified path of a file to which regression
results are appended.
Defaults to
.Pa /dev/null .
.It Ev REGRESS_MAXTIME
Maximum limit of CPU seconds to spend on the regression test.
Exceeding this time will result in a failure being logged.
.It Ev REGRESS_ROOT_TARGETS
Targets for which root access is required to run the test.
The
.Ev SUDO
variable is invoked for these targets.
See also
.Ev SUDO .
.It Ev REGRESS_SKIP_SLOW
If this variable is not empty, skip over all the regression
tests which have been marked as being 'slow' using the
.Ev REGRESS_SLOW_TARGETS
variable.
.It Ev REGRESS_SLOW_TARGETS
Targets which are defined as 'slow'.
All of these tests can be skipped by setting the
.Ev REGRESS_SKIP_SLOW
variable.
.It Ev REGRESS_TARGETS
Targets which are invoked to run the set of regression tests
for this Makefile.
Defaults to
.Cm run-regress-${PROG} .
.It Ev SUDO
Location of a command used to switch to root for certain
test targets which require it.
See
.Xr doas 1 .
.El
.Sh GUIDELINES
If an individual test passes,
.Sy make Ar testname
should return with an exit status of 0.
If it fails, it should return with a non-zero exit status.
.Pp
If a test cannot be executed because a package is not installed or
some environment variable is not set,
.Sy make Ar testname
should print
.Qq SKIPPED
to stdout and exit with status 0.
To skip everything, implement the
.Cm regress
target with a command that prints
.Qq SKIPPED .
.Pp
Tests should not fail because an intended feature has not been
implemented yet.
To avoid such false failures, a test should show the reason, print
.Qq DISABLED
to stdout and exit with status 0.
.Pp
Tests must be able to run with an
.Pa obj
directory.
In case the test is not linked to the build or the tester forgot
to run
.Sy make Cm obj
before, this directory or symlink may not exist.
Then the test should run anyway.
.Pp
Test are executed with
.Sy make Cm regress ,
but running
.Sy make Cm all
or
.Sy make
should have the same effect.
.Pp
Tests should use the binaries installed and the kernel running on
the local system.
They may use environment variables to test alternative binaries or
remote kernels running on other machines.
In some cases a test may need binaries or libraries or object files
to be present in
.Pa /usr/obj/
that exist only after
.Sy make Cm build
was run in
.Pa /usr/src/ .
The test must not assume that they have already been built, but
should run
.Sy make
in the appropriate source directory as a dependency.
The
.Pa /usr/src/
tree can be found with a relative path or with the
.Ev BSDSRCDIR
variable.

.Xr bsd.port.mk 5
.Sh HISTORY
The regression system originally came from
.Nx ,
with many tests added by
.Ox
since.
The current Makefile framework was written by Artur Grabowski
and Marc Espie for
.Ox 3.1 .
.Sh BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
The build system is unable to distinguish between timeouts due to
.Ev REGRESS_MAXTIME
being exceeded, or a genuine failure occurring.
