NAME

     kyua report — Generates reports with the results of a test suite run

SYNOPSIS

     kyua report [--output path] [--results-file file] [--results-filter types] [--verbose]
          [test_filter1 .. test_filterN]

DESCRIPTION

     The kyua report command parses a results file and generates a user-friendly, plaintext
     report for user consumption on the terminal.  By default, these reports only display a
     summary of the execution of the full test suite to highlight where problems may lie.

     The output of kyua report can be customized to display full details on all executed test
     cases.  Additionally, the optional arguments to kyua report are used to select which test
     programs or test cases to display.  These are filters and are described below in Test
     filters.

     Reports generated by kyua report are not intended to be machine-parseable.

     The following subcommand options are recognized:

     --output path
         Specifies the path to which the report should be written to.  The special values
         /dev/stdout and /dev/stderr can be used to specify the standard output and the standard
         error, respectively.

     --results-file path, -s path
         Specifies the results file to operate on.  Defaults to ‘LATEST’, which causes kyua
         report to automatically load the latest results file from the current test suite.

         The following values are accepted:

         ‘LATEST’
             Requests the load of the latest results file available for the test suite rooted at
             the current directory.

         Directory
             Requests the load of the latest results file available for the test suite rooted at
             the given directory.

         Test suite name
             Requests the load of the latest results file available for the given test suite.

         Results identifier
             Requests the load of a specific results file.

         Explicit file name (aka everything else)
             Load the specified results file.

         See Results files for more details.

     --results-filter types
         Comma-separated list of the test result types to include in the report.  The ordering of
         the values is respected so that you can determine how you want the list of tests to be
         shown.

         The valid values are: ‘broken’, ‘failed’, ‘passed’, ‘skipped’ and ‘xfail’.  If the
         parameter supplied to the option is empty, filtering is suppressed and all result types
         are shown in the report.

         The default value for this flag includes all the test results except the passed tests.
         Showing the passed tests by default clutters the report with too much information, so
         only abnormal conditions are included.

     --verbose
         Prints a detailed report of the execution.  In addition to all the information printed
         by default, verbose reports include the runtime context of the test suite run, the
         metadata of each test case, and the verbatim output of the test cases.

   Results files
     Results files contain, as their name implies, the results of the execution of a test suite.
     Each test suite executed by kyua-test(1) generates a new results file, and such results
     files can be loaded later on by inspection commands such as kyua-report(1) to analyze their
     contents.

     Results files support identifier-based lookups and also path name lookups.  The differences
     between the two are described below.

     The default naming scheme for the results files provides simple support for identifier-based
     lookups and historical recording of test suite runs.  Each results file is given an
     identifier derived from the test suite that generated it and the time the test suite was
     run.  Kyua can later look up results files by these fields.

     The identifier follows this pattern:

           <test_suite>.<YYYYMMDD>-<HHMMSS>-<uuuuuu>

     where ‘test_suite’ is the path to the root of the test suite that was run with all slashes
     replaced by underscores and ‘YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-uuuuuu’ is a timestamp with microsecond
     resolution.

     When using the default naming scheme, results files are stored in the ~/.kyua/store/
     subdirectory and each file holds a name of the form:

           ~/.kyua/store/results.<identifier>.db

     Results files are simple SQLite databases with the schema described in the
     /usr/share/kyua/store/schema_v?.sql files.  For details on the schema, please refer to the
     heavily commented SQL file.

   Test filters
     A test filter is a string that is used to match test cases or test programs in a test suite.
     Filters have the following form:

           test_program_name[:test_case_name]

     Where ‘test_program_name’ is the name of a test program or a subdirectory in the test suite,
     and ‘test_case_name’ is the name of a test case.

EXIT STATUS

     The kyua report command returns 0 if no filters were specified or if all filters match one
     or more test cases.  If any filter fails to match any test case, the command returns 1.

     Additional exit codes may be returned as described in kyua(1).

EXAMPLES

   Workflow with results files
     If one runs the following command twice in a row:

           kyua test -k /usr/tests/Kyuafile

     the two executions will generate two different files with names like:

           ~/.kyua/store/results.usr_tests.20140731-150500-196784.db
           ~/.kyua/store/results.usr_tests.20140731-151730-997451.db

     Taking advantage of the default naming scheme, the following commands would all generate a
     report for the results of the latest execution of the test suite:

           cd /usr/tests && kyua report
           cd /usr/tests && kyua report --results-file=LATEST
           kyua report --results-file=/usr/tests
           kyua report --results-file=usr_tests
           kyua report --results-file=usr_tests.20140731-151730-997451

     But it is also possible to explicitly load data for older runs or from explicitly-named
     files:

           kyua report \
               --results-file=usr_tests.20140731-150500-196784
           kyua report \
               --results-file=~/.kyua/store/results.usr_tests.20140731-150500-196784.db
