[ezsteps]
lookittmp ls /tmp

lookittmp ;; Note: config file format supports multi-line entries where leading whitespace is removed from each line

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

testname1/itempath A comment about why it was waived
testname2 A comment for a non-itemized test
---------------------------
Ezsteps
~~~~~~~
Ezsteps is the recommended way to implement tests and automation in
Megatest.
NOTE: Each ezstep must be a single line. Use the [scripts] mechanism
to create multiline scripts (see example below).
.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/)
-----------------
Automatic environment propagation with Ezsteps
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# if your upstream file is csh you can force csh like this
# if your upstream is bash
loadenv source $REF/ourenviron.sh
Turn on ezpropvars and environment variables will be propagated from
step to step. Use this to source script files that modify the
envionment where the modifications are needed in subsequent steps.
NOTE: aliases and variables with strange whitespace or characters will
not propagate correctly. Put in a ticket on the
http://www.kiatoa.com/fossils/megatest site if you need support for a
specific strange character combination.
.Turn on auto propagate for bash
---------------------------
[setup]
ezpropvars sh
---------------------------
.Write your ezsteps. The loadenv.csh step will use /bin/csh as its shell, other steps will use bash.
---------------------------
[ezsteps]
loadenv.csh source $REF/ourenviron.csh
compile make
install make install
---------------------------
Bash and csh are supported. You can override the shell binary location
from the default /bin/bash and /bin/csh if needed.
.Turn on auto propagate for csh
---------------------------
[setup]
ezpropvars csh /bin/csh
---------------------------
.Example of auto propagation using extensions
---------------------------
[ezsteps]
step1.sh export SOMEVAR=$(ps -def | wc -l);ls /tmp
# The next step will get the value of $SOMEVAR from step1.sh
step2.sh echo $SOMEVAR
---------------------------
.Example of multi-line script
---------------------------
[scripts]
tarresults tar cfvz $DEST/srcdir1.tar.gz srcdir1
tar cfvz $DEST/srcdir2.tar.gz srcdir2
[setup]
ezpropvars sh
[ezsteps]
step1 DEST=/tmp/targz;source tarresults
---------------------------
The above example will result in files; tarresults and ez_step1 being
created in the test dir.
