NAME

       ct_master - Distributed test execution control for Common Test.

DESCRIPTION

       Distributed test execution control for Common Test.

       This module exports functions for running Common Test nodes on multiple hosts in parallel.

EXPORTS

       abort() -> ok

              Stops all running tests.

       abort(Nodes) -> ok

              Types:

                 Nodes = atom() | [atom()]

              Stops tests on specified nodes.

       basic_html(Bool) -> ok

              Types:

                 Bool = true | false

              If  set  to  true,  the  ct_master logs are written on a primitive HTML format, not
              using the Common Test CSS style sheet.

       get_event_mgr_ref() -> MasterEvMgrRef

              Types:

                 MasterEvMgrRef = atom()

              Gets a reference to the Common Test master event manager. The reference can be used
              to, for example, add a user-specific event handler while tests are running.

              Example:

               gen_event:add_handler(ct_master:get_event_mgr_ref(), my_ev_h, [])

       progress() -> [{Node, Status}]

              Types:

                 Node = atom()
                 Status = finished_ok | ongoing | aborted | {error, Reason}
                 Reason = term()

              Returns  test progress. If Status is ongoing, tests are running on the node and are
              not yet finished.

       run(TestSpecs) -> ok

              Types:

                 TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]

              Equivalent to ct_master:run(TestSpecs, false, [], []).

       run(TestSpecs, InclNodes, ExclNodes) -> ok

              Types:

                 TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
                 SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
                 InclNodes = [atom()]
                 ExclNodes = [atom()]

              Equivalent to ct_master:run(TestSpecs, false, InclNodes, ExclNodes).

       run(TestSpecs, AllowUserTerms, InclNodes, ExclNodes) -> ok

              Types:

                 TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
                 SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
                 AllowUserTerms = bool()
                 InclNodes = [atom()]
                 ExclNodes = [atom()]

              Tests are spawned on the nodes as specified in  TestSpecs.  Each  specification  in
              TestSpec  is  handled separately. However, it is also possible to specify a list of
              specifications to be merged into one specification before the tests  are  executed.
              Any  test  without a particular node specification is also executed on the nodes in
              InclNodes. Nodes in the ExclNodes list are excluded from the test.

       run_on_node(TestSpecs, Node) -> ok

              Types:

                 TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
                 SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
                 Node = atom()

              Equivalent to ct_master:run_on_node(TestSpecs, false, Node).

       run_on_node(TestSpecs, AllowUserTerms, Node) -> ok

              Types:

                 TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
                 SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
                 AllowUserTerms = bool()
                 Node = atom()

              Tests are spawned on Node according to TestSpecs.

       run_test(Node, Opts) -> ok

              Types:

                 Node = atom()
                 Opts = [OptTuples]
                 OptTuples = {config, CfgFiles} | {dir, TestDirs} | {suite, Suites} |  {testcase,
                 Cases}  |  {spec,  TestSpecs}  |  {allow_user_terms,  Bool} | {logdir, LogDir} |
                 {event_handler,  EventHandlers}  |   {silent_connections,   Conns}   |   {cover,
                 CoverSpecFile} | {cover_stop, Bool} | {userconfig, UserCfgFiles}
                 CfgFiles = string() | [string()]
                 TestDirs = string() | [string()]
                 Suites = atom() | [atom()]
                 Cases = atom() | [atom()]
                 TestSpecs = string() | [string()]
                 LogDir = string()
                 EventHandlers = EH | [EH]
                 EH = atom() | {atom(), InitArgs} | {[atom()], InitArgs}
                 InitArgs = [term()]
                 Conns = all | [atom()]

              Tests are spawned on Node using ct:run_test/1
