In order to keep the A-T's own test suite intact, I've created a new Apache-TestMe subproject, which contains solely tests to reproduce various problems (think geoff's bug skeleton). Originally I thought to just dump things into A-T's test suite, but then decided that it may break or complicate things.
Regardless, the Apache-TestItSelf can be used to run any A-T based test suite, as the following extract from Apache-TestItSelf/README explains.
The only inconvenience at the moment is that the config files include hardcoded paths, (since each one of us has apache/modperl installed at different locations), so I've created sample/ for you to copy away and adjust to reflect your setups.
Apache-TestItSelf/lib/MyTest/Util.pm contains all kind of wrappers, which eventually should be polished into a nice API, but for now there are just that, wrappers to avoid dups.
README:
This test suite tests various Apache-Test setups (i.e. whether the configuration works correctly), something that can't be tested with the normal run-time test suite.
1) first of all move into Apache-TestItSelf
% chdir Apache-TestItSelf
2) now choose which test suite to run again, to test whether some changes in A-T break its config, run 2a. But if the config testing coverage is not complete, try other test suites and then try to re-create this problem in 2a.
You will need to adjust config files under sample/ to reflect the location of your preinstalled httpd and mod_perl files.
a. Apache-Test config test suite
% t/TEST -config sample/apache_test_config.pm
this runs against the test suite under:
Apache-Test/Apache-TestItSelf/Apache-TestMe/t
it's the same as calling:
% t/TEST -base ~/apache.org/Apache-Test/Apache-TestItSelf/Apache-TestMe/t \ -config sample/apache_test_config.pm
b. Apache-Test
assuming that Apache-Test is checked out under ~/apache.org/Apache-Test, the following will run the tests against the Apache-Test test suite
% t/TEST -base ~/apache.org/Apache-Test \ -config sample/apache_test_config.pm
c. modperl-2.0
assuming that modperl-2.0 is checked out under ~/apache.org/modperl-2.0, the following will run the tests against the modperl-2.0 test suite
% t/TEST -base ~/apache.org/mp2-svn \ -config sample/modperl2_testitself_config.pm httpd_arg.t interactive.t
d. 3rd party modules ###
assuming that Apache-VMonitor-2.0 is checked out under ~/work/modules/Apache-VMonitor-2.0, the following will run the tests against the Apache-VMonitor-2.0 test suite. of course any other 3rd party module should do.
% t/TEST -base ~/work/modules/Apache-VMonitor-2.0 \ -config sample/apache2_modules_testitself_config.pm
