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 each regress target.
96Regress targets depend on this one to enforce setup.
97.It Ev REGRESS_SETUP_ONCE
98If this variable is set, it contains a target that is executed
99once before all regress targets.
100Regress targets depend on a stamp file generated during setup.
101.It Ev REGRESS_SKIP_SLOW
102If this variable is not empty, skip over all the regression
103tests which have been marked as being 'slow' using the
104.Ev REGRESS_SLOW_TARGETS
105variable.
106.It Ev REGRESS_SLOW_TARGETS
107Targets which are defined as 'slow'.
108All of these tests can be skipped by setting the
109.Ev REGRESS_SKIP_SLOW
110variable.
111.It Ev REGRESS_TARGETS
112Targets which are invoked to run the set of regression tests
113for this Makefile.
114Defaults to
115.Cm run-regress-${PROG} .
116.It Ev SUDO
117Location of a command used to switch to root for certain
118test targets which require it.
119See
120.Xr doas 1 .
121.El
122.Pp
123Some variables are intended to be set at runtime in the environment
124or in
125.Xr mk.conf 5 ,
126but not in the regress Makefile itself.
127.Sh GUIDELINES
128If an individual test passes,
129.Sy make Ar testname
130should return with an exit status of 0.
131If it fails, it should return with a non-zero exit status.
132.Pp
133If a test cannot be executed because a package is not installed or
134some environment variable is not set,
135.Sy make Ar testname
136should print
137.Qq SKIPPED
138to stdout and exit with status 0.
139To skip everything, implement the
140.Cm regress
141target with a command that prints
142.Qq SKIPPED .
143.Pp
144Some tests may require a special setup on the test machine that has
145to be done manually before testing.
146This requirement has to be documented in the Makefile or in a
147.Pa README
148file.
149The test should find out whether the setup exists before running
150and print
151.Qq SKIPPED
152and exit if it is missing.
153.Pp
154Tests should not fail because an intended feature has not been
155implemented yet.
156To avoid such false failures, a test should show the reason, print
157.Qq DISABLED
158to stdout and exit with status 0.
159.Pp
160Tests must be able to run with an
161.Pa obj
162directory.
163In case the test is not linked to the build or the tester forgot
164to run
165.Sy make Cm obj
166before, this directory or symlink may not exist.
167Then the test should run anyway.
168.Pp
169Tests are executed with
170.Sy make Cm regress ,
171but running
172.Sy make Cm all
173or
174.Sy make
175should have the same effect.
176Tests must be runnable by root, and may also succeed when run as a
177regular user.
178Tests must not assume they have a controlling tty,
179to allow them to be run by
180.Xr cron 8 .
181An individual regress test may create a pseudo tty if it needs one.
182.Pp
183Tests should use the binaries installed and the kernel running on
184the local system.
185They may use environment variables to test alternative binaries or
186remote kernels running on other machines.
187In some cases a test may need binaries or libraries or object files
188to be present in
189.Pa /usr/obj/
190that exist only after
191.Sy make Cm build
192was run in
193.Pa /usr/src/ .
194The test must not assume that they have already been built, but
195should run
196.Sy make
197in the appropriate source directory as a dependency.
198For missing generated source or header files a target called
199.Sy make Cm generated
200is common.
201The
202.Pa /usr/src/
203tree can be found with a relative path or with the
204.Ev BSDSRCDIR
205variable.

207.Xr bsd.port.mk 5
208.Sh HISTORY
209The regression system originally came from
210.Nx ,
211with many tests added by
212.Ox
213since.
214The current Makefile framework was written by Artur Grabowski
215and Marc Espie for
216.Ox 3.1 .
217.Sh BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
218The build system is unable to distinguish between timeouts due to
219.Ev REGRESS_MAXTIME
220being exceeded, or a genuine failure occurring.
