testdrive

Driver program for continuous integration scripts.

Usage

testdrive [options...] [commands...]

Documentation

testdrive is a simple program for running a set of compilation and testing scripts with a single command. For each module defined in the configuration file, testdrive looks for a fetch script, build script, test script, and plot script. After these scripts have been run successfully, it constructs an HTML file with the results of all tests and any images generated by the plot script. Additionally, the configuration file can define variables that are expanded in the script files before they are run.

Order of operations

Given a configuration file testdrive performs the following operations for each module defined:

• change directory to the configuration directory for the current module;
• obtain the latest revision: using either the command specified in the configuration file or a script named `revisions'; this script is called with the module name as argument;
• fetch the module source code: using either the command specified in the configuration file or a script named `fetch'; this script is called with the module name, latest revision, and build location as arguments;
• build the module in the build location: either the command specified in the configuration file or a script named `build'; this script is called with the module name and build location as arguments;
• run the module tests: either the command specified in the configuration file or all scripts contained in subdirectory `tests'; this script is called with the module name and build location as arguments;
• produce module plots: the command specified in the configuration file or a script named `plots'; this script is called with the module name and build location as arguments;

Expansion of variables in the script files

If the configuration file specifies an environment for the scripts (see next section), then before any of the scripts are run, text of the form VARIABLE will be expanded to the corresponding value given in the configuration file.

Configuration file

Example configuration

 (define module-source-dir "/home/user/src/modules")

 (env `(
      (CHICKEN_DIR . "$HOME/bin/chicken")
      ))

 (modules `(
  (test_module
   (label . "Test module")
   (config-path  . ,(make-pathname module-source-dir "test")))
  ))
