Writing Test in YAML

Contents

Writing test in YAML is easy. YAML test are processed by buildtest using the yaml library into a dictionary which is then processed to generate the test-script. The buildtest will parse the YAML config and generate the build and run command line based on the key/values provided.

YAML Key Description

The binary test configs are stored in a file command.yaml which contains a list of executables along with any arguments. Buildtest will create a separate test-script for each executable. The keyword binaries is only specified to command.yaml file. The binary test are specific to the software packge to test. Figure out the binaries in the install path for the software, typically in bin directory and add this to the command.yaml file.

GCC BinaryTest YAML Example

.. program-output:: cat scripts/Writing_Test_In_YAML/command.yaml

GCC-5.4.0-2.27 buildtest Test Script

.. program-output:: cat scripts/Writing_Test_In_YAML/gcc.sh

BuildTest YAML Hello World Example

.. program-output:: cat scripts/Writing_Test_In_YAML/hello.c.yaml

BuildTest Hello World Test Script

inputfile Example

.. program-output:: cat scripts/Writing_Test_In_YAML/inputfile.yaml


.. program-output:: cat scripts/Writing_Test_In_YAML/inputfile.sh

outputfile Example

.. program-output:: cat scripts/Writing_Test_In_YAML/outputfile.yaml

iter Example

We can create duplicate test scripts using the iter keyword in YAML.

.. program-output:: cat scripts/Writing_Test_In_YAML/iter.yaml
