How should one go about adding unit tests to a package in the RTL?
In many packages, for instance fcl-db, there is a tests folder with
fpcunit units and programs in them, and they're referenced in
fpmake.pp as example programs, but these do not appear to be built
or run during a standard build of the RTL. Separately, there are
tests for some packages in the top-level tests/test folder, which do
appear to be run with
make full TEST_FPC=path_to_your_compiler
None of these latter tests use fpcunit.
Do any of the fpcunit tests get run as part of a test cycle?
Historically the tests for packages reside in
tests/test/packages/<package>. If you need to add a new package you
need to add it to the TESTPACKAGESDIRS variable in tests/Makefile.fpc
and regenerate the Makefile.(*)
Two, three years ago I also added the ability to have the tests
directly in packages/<package>/tests (it started with the Rtti unit).
If you add a new package this way you need to add it to the
TESTPACKAGESDIRECTDIRS variable in tests/Makefile.fpc and regenerate
the Makefile.(*)
In *any* case you have to keep in mind the following:
- for a test to be picked up by the testsuite they need to start with
a "t" and end in ".pp" (this means that you should prefix units that
you don't want the testsuite to compile independantly with a "u"
instead of a "t" or suffix them with ".pas" instead of ".pp")
- if it's a program it should return exit code 0 on success and 1 on
error (libraries and units are not executed, they are only checkey
for correct compilation)
- all rtl/packages units are available (which means that you can use
fcl-fpcunit for example, though you should use the
"consoletestrunner" (see also
packages/rtl-objpas/tests/testrunner.rtlobjpas.pp))
(*) invoke trunks' fpcmake utility (located in
utils/fpcm/bin/<cpu>-<os> after a complete build) with the parameter
"-Tall" inside the tests directory
Thanks for the detailed reply. I will try this out later today. I'm
not actually adding a new package, just making changes to fcl-net, and
my tests already use consoletestrunner, so it should be
straightforward. (I know, famous last words!)
I meant "new package" in the sense of "not yet part of the list of
tested packages", cause not every package is.
Regards,
Sven
