  • Kyua: Weekly status report

    Added the ability to explicitly define timeouts for plain test programs. This just completes the work from past week that made running plain test programs at all but had an ugly TODO in it to implement this missing feature. The bootstrap test suite now runs as a single test case within the whole Kyua test suite. Demonstrates the plain test programs interface functionality :-) Started reshuffling code to make the <tt>--config</tt> and related flags program-wide.

    Implemented the "plain" test interface. This allows plugging "foreign test programs" into a Kyua-based test suite. (A foreign test program is a program that does not use any testing framework: it reports success and failure by means of an exit code.)Generalized code between the atf and plain interfaces and did some cleanups.Attempted to fix the ATF_REQUIRE_EQ macros in ATF to evaluate their arguments only once. This has proven to be tricky and therefore it is not done yet.

    Finished splitting the atf-specific code from the generic structures in the engine. The engine now supports the addition of extra test interfaces with minimal effort.Started implementing a "plain" test interface for test programs that do not use any test framework. This is to allow muxing non-atf tests into atf-based test cases, which is required in the NetBSD tree.

    Slow week. I've been busy moving to NYC! Kept working on the splitting of ATF-specific code from the core test abstractions. The work is now focused on refactoring the results-reporting pieces of the code, which are non-trivial.

    One of the major features I want in place for Kyua 0.2 is the ability to run "foreign" test programs as part of a test suite: i.e. to be able to plug non-ATF test programs into a Kyuafile. The rationale for this is to lower the entry barrier of newcomers to Kyua and, also, to allow running some foreign test suites that exist in the NetBSD source tree but that are currently not run.

    Belated update:Created a pkgsrc package for kyua-cli. Still in pkgsrc-wip though because pkgsrc is in a feature freeze.Wrote a little tutorial on how to run NetBSD tests using Kyua.Started work on 0.2 by doing a minor UI fix in the about command.I've now started to look at how to split the engine into different "runners" to add support for test programs written without ATF. Not that I plan to use this feature.

    This has been the big week: Wrote some user documentation for the kyua binary.Fixed some distcheck problems.Released Kyua 0.1!The next immediate thing to do is to write a short tutorial on how to run the NetBSD tests with Kyua and get some people to actually try it. After that, there are many things to improve and features to add :-)
