COMMAND=sort ./sort.tests
So we can compare against non-busybox versions, and possibly our testsuite
will be useful to somebody like the Linux Test Project someday.
Redid testing.sh to add new command, "optional", to skip tests that require
certain features. (use: `optional FEATURE_SORT_BIG`, or `optional ""` to
stop skipping.) Note that optional is a NOP if the environment variable
"OPTIONFLAGS" is blank, so although we're marking up the tests with busybox
specific knowledge, it doesn't interfere with running the tests without
busybox.
Moved setting the "OPTIONFLAGS" environment variable to runtest. Philosophy:
busybox-specific stuff belongs in runtest; both testing.sh and the tests
themselves should be as busybox-agnostic as possible.
Moved detecting that a command isn't in busybox at all (hence skipping the
entire command.tests file) to runtests. Rationale: optional can't currently
test for more than one feature at a time, so if we clear anything with
optional "" we might perform tests we don't want to.
Marked up busybox.tests to know which tests need CAT enabled. Fixed up other
tests to be happy with new notation.
I suspect egrep should be appended to grep. It's a sub-feature, really...
This is used to see if given tests should be run (are available) or not.
Print "UNTESTED: descr" if the applet or feature is not available.
- add _BB_CONFIG_DEP to existing new.tests
- move old grep test to new test infrastructure and add a few more test for
grep.
(I.E. any argv[0] that starts with "busybox" winds up in busybox_main().)
Added testing/busybox.tests which tests the following permutations:
./busybox
./busybox-suffix
./busybox cat
./busybox-suffix cat
./busybox --help
./busybox-suffix --help
./busybox --help cat
./busybox-suffix --help cat
./busybox --help unknown
./busybox-suffix --help unknown
./unknown
Also repair the test suite so ./runtest calls the ".tests" scripts properly.
Note: you can now go "busybox busybox busbox ls -l" and it'll take it. The
new code is pretty generic. I can block that if anybody can come up with a
good reason to...
Hi!
I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.
That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.
I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.
'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.
One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.
egor
'testsuite' dir. Fix a bunch of broken tests. Fix the testsuite
'runtest' script so it actually reports all failures and provides
meaningful feedback.
