  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    The post title should mention ATF instead of Kyua... but I'm keeping the usual one for consistency: Integrated timestamps into the XML and HTML reports generated by atf-report. These should soon show up in the continuous tests of NetBSD.Work on integrating the use of POSIX timers into atf-run after Christos Zoulas performed these changes in the NetBSD tree. The result is quite awful because I need to keep compatibility with systems that do not provide the "

  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    Unfortunately, not much activity this week due to travel reasons. Anyway, some work went in: Preliminary code to generate HTML reports from kyua report. This is easy peasy but boring. The current code was written as a proof of concept and is awful, hence why it was not committed. I'm now working in cleaning it up.Backported test program and test case timestamping into ATF based on a patch from Paul Goyette.

  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    Some significant improvements this week: Finally submitted the code to store and load full test case definitions. This is quite tricky (and currently very, very ugly) but it works and it will allow the reports to include all kinds of information from the test cases.Removed the Atffiles from the tree; yay! For a long time, I had been using atf-run to run broken tests because atf-run allowed me to watch the output of the test case being debugged.

    Some more work towards allowing storing and loading of full test case definitions (which in turn will allow us to provide detailed HTML reports). I have local changes that do this, but they are gated by the lack of some additional tests and probably some optimizations, because they slow down kyua report significantly. Regarding commits, I have only submitted some related cleanup-changes.I got distracted by invalid Doxygen comments and traced down why they were not being correctly validated (which is the whole point of running Doxygen during the build).

  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    My goal for this past week was to change the database layer to be able to store full definitions of the test cases, and to later be able to load these while scanning an action. This is to allow the report command to provide all kinds of information about the executed tests, not just their names and their results. However, adding this functionality has proven to be more complex than I wished because the current types to represent test programs and test cases are kinda broken: that the abstractions chosen a while ago do not seem to be appropriate, and this is complicating further changes.

  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    I only have one thing to report this week, but oh boy it's big: the report command finally reports the results of a run of a test suite! Yes, you heard well: Kyua is, finally, able to keep a record of all the previous executions of test suites and allows you to extract reports of any of them a posteriori. At the moment, the report is just some disorganized plain-text.

  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    Kyua has finally gained a report subcommand, aimed at processing the output data of an action (stored in the database) and generating a user-friendly report in a variety of formats. This is still extremely incomplete, so don't get your hopes too high yet ;-) The current version of the report command takes an action and all it does is dump its runtime context (run directory, environment variables, etc.). Consider it just a proof of concept.
