30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm bsd.regress.mk
33.Nd regression test master Makefile fragment
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Fd .include <bsd.regress.mk>
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37.Nm
38holds the standard routines used by the source regression tests.
39Some variables and targets are for its internal use only.
40The rest are documented here.
41.Pp
42Since this file also includes
43.Nm bsd.prog.mk ,
44all of the usual
45.Ox
46Makefile variables may be used to build the regression
47test programs.
48.Sh TARGETS
49.Bl -tag -width regress
50.It Cm depend
51Build any dependencies required to carry out the current set
52of regression tests.
53.It Cm regress
54Executes all of the regression targets defined in the Makefile.
55If one of the tests fails, the line
56.Qq FAILED
57is printed to the standard output.
58By default, execution continues with the next test and, after running
59all the tests,
60.Sy make Cm regress
61exits with an exit status of 0 even if some of the tests failed.
62.It Cm run-regress-*
63Runs an individual regression test.
64If the exit status of the program indicates an error or timeout,
65then a failure is logged, otherwise the test is marked as a success.
66.El
67.Sh VARIABLES
68.Bl -tag -width Ds
69.It Ev REGRESS_CLEANUP
70If this variable is set, it contains a target that is executed
71after all regress targets.
72.It Ev REGRESS_FAIL_EARLY
73If this variable is set to anything but
74.Dq no ,
75the
76.Cm regress
77target will abort as soon as a test fails.
78.It Ev REGRESS_LOG
79Points to the fully-qualified path of a file to which regression
80results are appended.
81Defaults to
82.Pa /dev/null .
83.It Ev REGRESS_MAXTIME
84Maximum limit of CPU seconds to spend on the regression test.
85Exceeding this time will result in a failure being logged.
86.It Ev REGRESS_ROOT_TARGETS
87Targets for which root access is required to run the test.
88The
89.Ev SUDO
90variable is invoked for these targets.
91See also
92.Ev SUDO .
93.It Ev REGRESS_SETUP
94If this variable is set, it contains a target that is executed
95before all regress targets.
96The other regress targets depend on this one to enforce setup before
97running each test.
98It is recommended to implement this target with a stamp file to
99execute it only once.
100.It Ev REGRESS_SKIP_SLOW
101If this variable is not empty, skip over all the regression
102tests which have been marked as being 'slow' using the
103.Ev REGRESS_SLOW_TARGETS
104variable.
105.It Ev REGRESS_SLOW_TARGETS
106Targets which are defined as 'slow'.
107All of these tests can be skipped by setting the
108.Ev REGRESS_SKIP_SLOW
109variable.
110.It Ev REGRESS_TARGETS
111Targets which are invoked to run the set of regression tests
112for this Makefile.
113Defaults to
114.Cm run-regress-${PROG} .
115.It Ev SUDO
116Location of a command used to switch to root for certain
117test targets which require it.
118See
119.Xr doas 1 .
120.El
121.Pp
122Some variables are intended to be set at runtime in the environment
123or in
124.Xr mk.conf 5 ,
125but not in the regress Makefile itself.
126.Sh GUIDELINES
127If an individual test passes,
128.Sy make Ar testname
129should return with an exit status of 0.
130If it fails, it should return with a non-zero exit status.
131.Pp
132If a test cannot be executed because a package is not installed or
133some environment variable is not set,
134.Sy make Ar testname
135should print
136.Qq SKIPPED
137to stdout and exit with status 0.
138To skip everything, implement the
139.Cm regress
140target with a command that prints
141.Qq SKIPPED .
142.Pp
143Some tests may require a special setup on the test machine that has
144to be done manually before testing.
145This requirement has to be documented in the Makefile or in a
146.Pa README
147file.
148The test should find out whether the setup exists before running
149and print
150.Qq SKIPPED
151and exit if it is missing.
152.Pp
153Tests should not fail because an intended feature has not been
154implemented yet.
155To avoid such false failures, a test should show the reason, print
156.Qq DISABLED
157to stdout and exit with status 0.
158.Pp
159Tests must be able to run with an
160.Pa obj
161directory.
162In case the test is not linked to the build or the tester forgot
163to run
164.Sy make Cm obj
165before, this directory or symlink may not exist.
166Then the test should run anyway.
167.Pp
168Tests are executed with
169.Sy make Cm regress ,
170but running
171.Sy make Cm all
172or
173.Sy make
174should have the same effect.
175Tests must be runnable by root, and may also succeed when run as a
176regular user.
177Tests must not assume they have a controlling tty,
178to allow them to be run by
179.Xr cron 8 .
180An individual regress test may create a pseudo tty if it needs one.
181.Pp
182Tests should use the binaries installed and the kernel running on
183the local system.
184They may use environment variables to test alternative binaries or
185remote kernels running on other machines.
186In some cases a test may need binaries or libraries or object files
187to be present in
188.Pa /usr/obj/
189that exist only after
190.Sy make Cm build
191was run in
192.Pa /usr/src/ .
193The test must not assume that they have already been built, but
194should run
195.Sy make
196in the appropriate source directory as a dependency.
197For missing generated source or header files a target called
198.Sy make Cm generated
199is common.
200The
201.Pa /usr/src/
202tree can be found with a relative path or with the
203.Ev BSDSRCDIR
204variable.
205.Sh SEE ALSO
206.Xr bsd.port.mk 5
207.Sh HISTORY
208The regression system originally came from
209.Nx ,
210with many tests added by
211.Ox
212since.
213The current Makefile framework was written by Artur Grabowski
214and Marc Espie for
215.Ox 3.1 .
216.Sh BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
217The build system is unable to distinguish between timeouts due to
218.Ev REGRESS_MAXTIME
219being exceeded, or a genuine failure occurring.
