The first step in all existing setup.sh scripts is to call clean.sh. To
reduce code duplication and ensure all system tests added in the future
behave consistently with existing ones, invoke clean.sh from run.sh
before calling setup.sh.
(cherry picked from commit d8905b7a9c)
Since the role of the bin/tests/system/clean.sh script has now been
reduced to calling a given system test's clean.sh script, remove the
former altogether and replace its only use with a direct invocation of
the latter.
(cherry picked from commit bf3eeac067)
Since files containing system test output are no longer stored in test
subdirectories, bin/tests/system/clean.sh no longer needs to take care
of removing the test.output file for a given test as testsummary.sh
already takes care of that and even if a test suite terminates
abnormally and another one is started, tee invoked without the -a
command line switch overwrites the destination file if it exists, so
leftover test.output.* files from previous test suite runs are not a
concern. Remove the -r command line switch and the code associated with
it from the relevant scripts.
(cherry picked from commit b4d37878f6)
Some clean.sh scripts contain overly broad file deletion wildcards which
cause the test.output file (used by the system test framework for
collecting output) in a given system test's directory to be erroneously
removed immediately after the test is started (due to setup.sh scripts
calling clean.sh at the beginning). This prevents the test's output
from being placed in bin/tests/system/systests.output at the end of a
test suite run and thus can lead to test failures being ignored. Fix by
storing each test's output in a test.output.<test-name> file in
bin/tests/system/, which prevents clean.sh scripts from removing it (as
they should only ever affect files contained in a given system test's
directory).
(cherry picked from commit b0916bba41)
As parallel.mk and runsequential.sh both pipe system test output through
"tee" (for the purpose of creating test.output), run.sh invoked from
these two files detects it is not writing to a terminal, which prevents
colored output from being generated. Allow forcing colored output using
a new command line argument for runall.sh, "-c", which sets an
environment variable (SYSTEMTEST_FORCE_COLOR) causing conf.sh to
unconditionally enable colored output.
The same environment variable can also be used directly to force colored
output when using "make test" instead of runall.sh.
(cherry picked from commit a324031a82)
Instead of exporting an environment variable containing a command line
argument (NOCLEAN="-n"), extend run.sh to handle a "boolean" environment
variable (SYSTEMTEST_NO_CLEAN) itself. The former method is buggy
because the value of NOCLEAN is set in parallel.mk when that file is
first created, but it is not subsequently updated upon each test run
(because make considers parallel.mk to be up to date).
To retain backward compatibility, the "-n" command line argument for
run.sh is still supported (and has a higher priority than the relevant
environment variable).
The SYSTEMTEST_NO_CLEAN environment variable can also be used directly
to prevent cleanup when using "make test" instead of runall.sh.
Apart from fixing a bug, this simplifies the way runall.sh controls
run.sh behavior due to the Makefile being bypassed. Direct processing
of environment variables in run.sh is more scalable in the long run,
given that the previously utilized technique, even with its
implementation fixed, would still require Makefile.in to be modified in
two places each time a new flag needed to be passed from runall.sh to
run.sh.
(cherry picked from commit 3862043879)
Added descriptions of how nameservers are started and stopped
during the tests, and how the framework cleans up the files created.
(cherry picked from commit f606b17dfb)
When running all the system tests, output from a test is sent to a
test.output file in the test directory. These are combined in to
systests.output when the run finishes.
(cherry picked from commit 055e5be9fd)
Add more information on running the tests, together with a section
on how the tests are organised, aimed at new developers.
