SYNOPSIS

tablix2_test command options file

DESCRIPTION

working  as  expected.  Framework  is  composed  of  a special export module export_ttf.so and a utility program
tablix2_test.  Each automated test case is stored in a single file with the standard  Tablix  XML  configuration
tablix2_test  first  processes  each  file  containing  the  test  case with tablix or tablix2 (depending on the
detected version of the XML format) and then uses export_ttf.so module to run the Scheme code  included  in  the
For each test case, tablix2_test reports one of the following results:

passed

 File  contained  XML  syntax for the 0.2.x branch of kernels.  tablix2 found a solution to the test problem and
 Scheme code confirmed that it is correct.

passed (old syntax)

 File contained XML syntax for the 0.1.x branch of kernels.  tablix found a solution to  the  test  problem  and
 Scheme code confirmed that it is correct.

skipped

 tablix or tablix2 executable was not found. Test problem was skipped.

FAILED (tablix crashed)

 Tablix  did  not find a solution to the test problem. The reason can be a syntax error in the XML configuration
 file, an error in the module or a kernel crash. See any other displayed error messages for details.

FAILED (most likely scheme syntax error)

 Scheme interpreter returned an error. The reason can be a syntax error or a bug in the Scheme code  block.  See
 any other displayed error messages for details.

FAILED (ttf test failed)

 Tablix found a solution to the test problem but Scheme code did not confirm it.

FAILED (unknown error)

 Tablix returned an unknown return value. You are probably running an outdated tablix2_test.

Since  tablix  or  tablix2 is run as part of the process, pvmd daemon must be running and be configured properly
before running tablix2_test

OPTIONS

tablix2_test --file "OPTIONS" FILE

 Perform once a single test stored in the XML configuration file  FILE.   OPTIONS  parameter  is  mandatory  and
 contains options that will be passed to the tablix or tablix2 process.

tablix2_test --dir "OPTIONS" DIRECTORY

 Perform  once  all  tests  stored  in XML configuration files in the directory DIRECTORY.  OPTIONS parameter is
 mandatory and contains options that will be passed to the tablix or tablix2 process.

tablix2_test --multi-file N "OPTIONS" FILE

 Same as --file but performs each test N times. Test is considered passed only none of N repetitions of the test
 fail.

tablix2_test --multi-dir N "OPTIONS" DIRECTORY

 Same  as  --dir  but  performs  each  test  in  the directory N times. Test is considered passed only none of N
 repetitions of the test fail.

EXAMPLES

     tablix2_test --multi-dir 7 "" ttf/tests

A  correctly  working Tablix installation should pass all tests stored in the ttf/tests/ subdirectory except the
error-1.xml, error-2.xml and error-3.xml tests which verify that the testing framework  is  correctly  reporting
errors.

BUGS

tablix2_test  utility  depends on a number of common UNIX programs (mktemp, grep, sed, awk, ...) that may not be
missing.
