Mode
^^^^

The default (i.e. if mode is not specified) is normal. All pre-dependent tests
must be COMPLETED and PASS, CHECK or WAIVED before the test will start

-------------------
[requirements]
mode   normal
-------------------

The toplevel mode requires only that the prior tests are COMPLETED.

-------------------
[requirements]
mode toplevel
-------------------

A item based waiton will start items in a test when the
same-named item is COMPLETED and PASS, CHECK or WAIVED
in the prior test
A item based waiton will start items in a test when the same-named
item is COMPLETED and PASS, CHECK or WAIVED in the prior test. This
was historically called "itemwait" mode. The terms "itemwait" and
"itemmatch" are synonyms.

-------------------
[requirements]
mode itemmatch
-------------------

Itemmap
^^^^^^^

For cases were the dependent test has a similar but not identical
itempath to the downstream test an itemmap can allow for itemmatch
mode

-------------------
[requirements]
mode itemmatch
itemmap .*x/ y/

# ## pattern replacement notes
#
# ## Example
# ## Remove everything up to the last /
itemmap .*/
#
# ## Example
# ## Replace foo/ with bar/
itemmap foo/ bar/
-------------------

.Autogeneration waiton list for dynamic flow dependency trees
-------------------
[requirements]
# With a toplevel test you may wish to generate your list 
# of tests to run dynamically
#
# waiton #{shell get-valid-tests-to-run.sh}
------------------
-------------------



Run time limit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-----------------
runtimelim 1h 2m 3s  # this will automatically kill the test if it runs for more than 1h 2m and 3s
-----------------

Skip
^^^^

Header
A test with a skip section will conditional skip running.
^^^^^^

.Skip section example
-----------------
[skip]
prevrunning x
# rundelay 30m 15s
-----------------

Skip on Still-running Tests
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-----------------
# NB// If the prevrunning line exists with *any* value the test will 
# automatically SKIP if the same-named test is currently RUNNING
# NB// If the prevrunning line exists with *any* value the test will
# automatically SKIP if the same-named test is currently RUNNING. The
# "x" can be any string. Comment out the prevrunning line to turn off
# skip.

[skip]
prevrunning x
-----------------

Skip if a File Exists
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-----------------
[skip]
fileexists /path/to/a/file # skip if /path/to/a/file exists
-----------------

Skip if test ran more recently than specified time
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.Skip if this test has been run in the past fifteen minutes and 15 seconds.
-----------------
[skip]
rundelay 15m 15s
-----------------

Disks
^^^^^

A disks section in testconfig will override the disks section in
megatest.config. This can be used to allocate disks on a per-test or per item
basis.

Controlled waiver propagation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If test is FAIL and previous test in run with same MT_TARGET is WAIVED then apply the following rules from the testconfig:
If a waiver check is specified in the testconfig apply the check and if it passes then set this FAIL to WAIVED

# This builtin rule is applied if a <waivername>.logpro file exists
# logpro diff %file1% %file2% | logpro %waivername%.logpro %waivername%.html
-----------------

Ezsteps
~~~~~~~

.Example ezsteps with logpro rules
-----------------
[ezsteps]
lookittmp   ls /tmp

[logpro]
lookittmp ;; Note: config file format supports multi-line entries where leading whitespace is removed from each line
  ;;     a blank line indicates the end of the block of text 
  (expect:required in "LogFileBody" > 0 "A file name that should never exist!" #/This is a awfully stupid file name that should never be found in the temp dir/)

-----------------

To transfer the environment to the next step you can do the following:

----------------------------
$MT_MEGATEST -env2file .ezsteps/${stepname}	  
----------------------------

Triggers
~~~~~~~~

In your testconfig triggers can be specified 

-----------------
[triggers]

# Call script running.sh when test goes to state=RUNNING, status=PASS
RUNNING/PASS running.sh

# Call script running.sh any time state goes to RUNNING
RUNNING/ running.sh

# Call script onpass.sh any time status goes to PASS
PASS/ onpass.sh
-----------------

Scripts called will have; test-id test-rundir trigger, added to the commandline.

HINT

To start an xterm (useful for debugging), use a command line like the following:

-----------------
[triggers]
COMPLETED/ xterm -e bash -s -- 
-----------------

NOTE: There is a trailing space after the --


Override the Toplevel HTML File
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Megatest generates a simple html file summary for top level tests of
iterated tests. The generation can be overridden. NOTE: the output of
the script is captured from stdout to create the html.


.For test "runfirst" override the toplevel generation with a script "mysummary.sh"
-----------------
# Override the rollup for specific tests
[testrollup]
runfirst mysummary.sh
-----------------

Archiving Setup
---------------

In megatest.config add the following sections:

.megatest.config
--------------
[archive]
# where to get bup executable
# bup /path/to/bup

[archive-disks]

# Archives will be organised under these paths like this:
#  <testsuite>/<creationdate>
# Within the archive the data is structured like this:
#  <target>/<runname>/<test>/
archive0 /mfs/myarchive-data/adisk1
--------------

Programming API
---------------

These routines can be called from the megatest repl.
