 | |
| The cURL Test Suite
 | |
| 
 | |
| Requires:
 | |
|   perl (and a unix-style shell)
 | |
|   diff (when a test fails, a diff is shown)
 | |
|   stunnel (for HTTPS and FTPS tests)
 | |
|   OpenSSH or SunSSH (for SCP, SFTP and SOCKS4/5 tests)
 | |
| 
 | |
| TCP ports used by default:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - 8990 on localhost for HTTP tests
 | |
|   - 8991 on localhost for HTTPS tests
 | |
|   - 8994 on localhost for HTTP IPv6 tests
 | |
|   - 8992 on localhost for FTP tests
 | |
|   - 8995 on localhost for FTP (2) tests
 | |
|   - 8993 on localhost for FTPS tests
 | |
|   - 8996 on localhost for FTP IPv6 tests
 | |
|   - 8997 on localhost for TFTP tests
 | |
|   - 8999 on localhost for SCP/SFTP tests
 | |
|   - 9000 on localhost for SOCKS tests
 | |
| 
 | |
|   The test suite runs simple FTP, HTTP and TFTP servers on these ports to
 | |
|   which it makes requests.  For SSL tests, it runs stunnel to handle
 | |
|   encryption to the regular servers. For SSH, it runs a standard OpenSSH
 | |
|   server. For SOCKS4/5 tests SSH is used to perform the SOCKS functionality
 | |
|   and requires a SSH client and server.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   The base port number shown above can be changed using runtests' -b option
 | |
|   to allow running more than one instance of the test suite simultaneously
 | |
|   on one machine.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Run:
 | |
|   'make test'. This builds the test suite support code and invokes the
 | |
|   'runtests.pl' perl script to run all the tests. Edit the top variables
 | |
|   of that script in case you have some specific needs, or run the script
 | |
|   manually (after the support code has been built).
 | |
| 
 | |
|   The script breaks on the first test that doesn't do OK. Use -a to prevent
 | |
|   the script from abort on the first error. Run the script with -v for more
 | |
|   verbose output. Use -d to run the test servers with debug output enabled as
 | |
|   well. Specifying -k keeps all the log files generated by the test intact.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   Use -s for shorter output, or pass test numbers to run specific tests only
 | |
|   (like "./runtests.pl 3 4" to test 3 and 4 only). It also supports test case
 | |
|   ranges with 'to', as in "./runtests 3 to 9" which runs the seven tests from
 | |
|   3 to 9. Any test numbers starting with ! are disabled, as are any test
 | |
|   numbers found in the file data/DISABLED (one per line).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Shell startup scripts:
 | |
|   Tests which use the ssh test server, SCP/SFTP/SOCKS tests, might be badly
 | |
|   influenced by the output of system wide or user specific shell startup scripts,
 | |
|   .bashrc, .profile, /etc/csh.cshrc, .login, /etc/bashrc, etc. which output text
 | |
|   messages or escape sequences on user login.  When these shell startup messages
 | |
|   or escape sequences are output they might corrupt the expected stream of data
 | |
|   which flows to the sftp-server or from the ssh client which can result in bad
 | |
|   test behaviour or even prevent the test server from running.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   If the test suite ssh or sftp server fails to start up and logs the message
 | |
|   'Received message too long' then you are certainly suffering the unwanted
 | |
|   output of a shell startup script.  Locate, cleanup or adjust the shell script.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Memory:
 | |
|   The test script will check that all allocated memory is freed properly IF
 | |
|   curl has been built with the CURLDEBUG define set. The script will
 | |
|   automatically detect if that is the case, and it will use the ../memanalyze
 | |
|   script to analyze the memory debugging output.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   The -t option will enable torture testing mode, which runs each test
 | |
|   many times but causes a different memory allocation to fail on each
 | |
|   successive run.  This tests the out of memory error handling code to
 | |
|   ensure that memory leaks do not occur even in those situations.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Debug:
 | |
|   If a test case fails, you can conveniently get the script to invoke the
 | |
|   debugger (gdb) for you with the server running and the exact same command
 | |
|   line parameters that failed. Just invoke 'runtests.pl <test number> -g' and
 | |
|   then just type 'run' in the debugger to perform the command through the
 | |
|   debugger.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   If a test case causes a core dump, analyze it by running gdb like:
 | |
| 
 | |
|           # gdb ../curl/src core
 | |
| 
 | |
|   ... and get a stack trace with the gdb command:
 | |
| 
 | |
|           (gdb) where
 | |
| 
 | |
| Logs:
 | |
|   All logs are generated in the logs/ subdirectory (it is emptied first
 | |
|   in the runtests.pl script). Use runtests.pl -k to keep the temporary files
 | |
|   after the test run.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Data:
 | |
|   All test cases are put in the data/ subdirectory. Each test is stored in the
 | |
|   file named according to the test number.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   See FILEFORMAT for the description of the test case files.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Code coverage:
 | |
|   gcc provides a tool that can determine the code coverage figures for
 | |
|   the test suite.  To use it, configure curl with
 | |
|   CFLAGS='-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -g -O0'.  Make sure you run the normal
 | |
|   and torture tests to get more full coverage, i.e. do:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     make test
 | |
|     make test-torture
 | |
| 
 | |
|   The graphical tool ggcov can be used to browse the source and create
 | |
|   coverage reports on *NIX hosts:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ggcov -r lib src
 | |
| 
 | |
|   The text mode tool gcov may also be used, but it doesn't handle object files
 | |
|   in more than one directory very well.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Remote testing:
 | |
|   The runtests.pl script provides some hooks to allow curl to be tested on a
 | |
|   machine where perl can not be run.  The test framework in this case runs on
 | |
|   a workstation where perl is available, while curl itself is run on a remote
 | |
|   system using ssh or some other remote execution method.  See the comments at
 | |
|   the beginning of runtests.pl for details.

 | |
| TEST CASE NUMBERS
 | |
| 
 | |
|  So far, I've used this system:
 | |
| 
 | |
|  1   -  99   HTTP
 | |
|  100 - 199   FTP*
 | |
|  200 - 299   FILE*
 | |
|  300 - 399   HTTPS
 | |
|  400 - 499   FTPS
 | |
|  500 - 599   libcurl source code tests, not using the curl command tool
 | |
|  600 - 699   SCP/SFTP
 | |
|  700 - 799   SOCKS4 (even numbers) and SOCK5 (odd numbers)
 | |
|  1000 - 1999 miscellaneous*
 | |
|  2000 - x    multiple sequential protocols per test case*
 | |
| 
 | |
|  Since 30-apr-2003, there's nothing in the system that requires us to keep
 | |
|  within these number series, and those sections marked with * actually
 | |
|  contain tests for a variety of protocols. Each test case now specifies
 | |
|  its own server requirements, independent of test number.
 | |
| 
 | |
| TODO:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Add tests for TELNET, LDAP, DICT...
 | |
|   * SOCKS4/5 test deficiencies - no proxy authentication tests as SSH (the 
 | |
|     test mechanism) doesn't support them
