# This file serves as a model for how to write tests, so is more heavily # commented that the others. All tests are run in the Test subdirectory # of the distribution, which must be writable. They should end with # the suffix `.ztst': this is not required by the test harness itself, # but it is needed by the Makefile to run all the tests. # Blank lines with no other special meaning (e.g. separating chunks of # code) and all those with a `#' in the first column are ignored. # All section names start with a % in the first column. The names # must be in the expected order, though not all sections are required. # The sections are %prep (preparatory setup: code executed should return # status 0, but no other tests are performed), %test (the main tests), and # %clean (to cleanup: the code is simply unconditionally executed). # # Literal shell code to be evaluated must be indented with any number # of spaces and/or tabs, to differentiate it from tags with a special # meaning to the test harness. Note that this is true even in sections # where there are no such tags. Also note that file descriptor 9 # is reserved for input from the test script; if ZTST_verbose is set, # output is sent to the original stdout via fd 8. Option settings # are preserved between the execution of different code chunks; # initially, all standard zsh options (the effect of `emulate -R zsh') # are set. %prep # This optional section prepares the test, creating directories and files # and so on. Chunks of code are separated by blank lines (which is not # necessary before the end of the section); each chunk of code is evaluated # in one go and must return status 0, or the preparation is deemed to have # failed and the test ends with an appropriate error message. Standard # output from this section is redirected to /dev/null, but standard error # is not redirected. # # Tests should use subdirectories ending in `.tmp'. These will be # removed with all the contents even if the test is aborted. mkdir cdtst.tmp cdtst.tmp/real cdtst.tmp/sub ln -s ../real cdtst.tmp/sub/fake mydir=$PWD %test # This is where the tests are run. It consists of blocks separated # by blank lines. Each block has the same format and there may be any # number of them. It consists of indented code, plus optional sets of lines # beginning '<', '>' and '?' which may appear in any order. These correspond # to stdin (fed to the code), stdout (compared with code output) and # stderr (compared with code error output) respectively. These subblocks # may occur in any order, but the natural one is: code, stdin, stdout, # stderr. # # The rules for '<', '>' and '?' lines are the same: only the first # character is stripped, with subsequent whitespace being significant; # lines are not subject to any substitution unless the `q' flags (see # below) is set. # # Each chunk of indented code is to be evaluated in one go and is to # be followed by a line starting (in the first column) with # the expected status returned by the code when run, or - if it is # irrelevant. An optional set of single-letter flags follows the status # or -. The following are understood: # d Don't diff stdout against the expected stdout. # D Don't diff stderr agsinst the expected stderr. # q All redirection lines given in the test script (not the lines # actually produced by the test) are subject to ordinary quoted shell # expansion (i.e. not globbing). # This can be followed by a `:' and a message describing the # test, which will be printed if the test fails, along with a # description of the failure that occurred. The `:' and message are # optional, but highly recommended. # Hence a complete status line looks something like: # 0dDq:Checking whether the world will end with a bang or a whimper # # If either or both of the '>' and '?' sets of lines is absent, it is # assumed the corresponding output should be empty and it is an error if it # is not. If '<' is empty, stdin is an empty (but opened) file. cd cdtst.tmp/sub/fake && pwd && print $PWD 0q:Preserving symbolic links in the current directory string >$mydir/cdtst.tmp/sub/fake >$mydir/cdtst.tmp/sub/fake cd ../../.. && pwd && print $PWD 0q:Changing directory up through symbolic links without following them >$mydir >$mydir setopt chaselinks cd cdtst.tmp/sub/fake && pwd && print $PWD 0q:Resolving symbolic links with chaselinks set >$mydir/cdtst.tmp/real >$mydir/cdtst.tmp/real %clean # This optional section cleans up after the test, if necessary, # e.g. killing processes etc. This is in addition to the removal of *.tmp # subdirectories.
