The First Chapter of the Second Part
------------------------------------
Chapters grouped into book parts are at level 1 and can contain
sub-sections.
The testconfig File
-------------------
Setup section
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Header
^^^^^^
-------------------
[setup]
-------------------
The runscript method is a brute force way to run scripts where the
user is responsible for setting STATE and STATUS
-------------------
runscript main.csh
-------------------
Requirements section
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Header

Wait on Other Tests
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-------------------
# A normal waiton waits for the prior tests to be COMPLETED
# and PASS, CHECK or WAIVED
waiton test1 test2
-------------------
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
-------------------
mode normal
-------------------
The toplevel mode requires only that the prior tests are COMPLETED.
-------------------
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
-------------------
mode itemmatch
-------------------
-------------------
# 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
^^^^^^
-----------------
[skip]
-----------------
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
prevrunning x
-----------------
Skip if a File Exists
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-----------------
fileexists /path/to/a/file # skip if /path/to/a/file exists
-----------------
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
Waiver check has two parts, 1) a list of waiver, rulename, filepatterns and 2) the rulename script spec (note that "diff" and "logpro" are predefined)
-----------------
###### EXAMPLE FROM testconfig #########
# matching file(s) will be diff'd with previous run and logpro applied
# if PASS or WARN result from logpro then WAIVER state is set
#
[waivers]
# logpro_file rulename input_glob
waiver_1 logpro lookittmp.log
[waiver_rules]
# This builtin rule is the default if there is no <waivername>.logpro file
# diff diff %file1% %file2%
# This builtin rule is applied if a <waivername>.logpro file exists
# logpro diff %file1% %file2% | logpro %waivername%.logpro %waivername%.html
-----------------
Ezsteps
~~~~~~~
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 --
:numbered!:
