atomsTest

Arguments

module: Column of strings: id = technical name of modules whose tests must be run.
tests_name: A string array: name of tests to be run. By default all tests of the module are run. The name may include some wildcard "*", like in "sin*", "*sin", or "*sin*".
success: boolean value: %T if no error has been detected, or %F otherwise.

Description

atomsTest(module) executes all the tests provided by the module, and prints their ending status.

atomsTest(module, tests_name) executes only the tests provided by the module whose files are named tests_name+".tst", and prints their ending status.

The ATOMS module needs to be installed, not necessarily loaded.

test_run(module, tests_name, …) can also be used to run the tests of an ATOMS module, after having loaded the module. test_run(…) offers useful options.

Examples

Example #1: Run all tests of a module.

// Display some additional information
atomsSetConfig("Verbose","True");

// Get the list of loaded modules:
atomsGetLoaded()

// Assuming that the "apifun" module is installed,
// run all its tests:
if atomsIsInstalled("apifun") then
    atomsTest("apifun");
end

--> atomsTest("apifun")

Explanations on the printing

TMPDIR is the general folder where all the temporary files of the tests will be saved. The list of the tests is then shown, with their ending status.

Possible endings
passed Test ended up successfully

failed : error_output not empty A line has been printed whereas it should not have

failed : dia and ref are not equal You have a difference between your result and what it should have been (reference)

failed : premature end of the test script Something stopped the test before it had time to finish normally

unknown You have an error that doesn't match any of our usual situations

failed : the ref file doesn't exist The test needs a reference file to compare its result

failed : the dia file is not correct The file produced by the test isn't correctly formatted

failed : the string (!--error) has been detected The test script produced an error that might have been masked by the rest of the test

skipped : interactive test The test needs an action from your part, and has been skipped as you are in non interactive mode

skipped : not yet fixed The bug is reported, however the developer did not have time to fix it

failed : bug reopened This bug used to be fixed, but it came back to an unstable status and is waiting another fix from its developer

skipped : test with graphic When a test is graphic and scilab is launched without graphic

skipped : Long time duration This test is too long to be tested. Usually appears on Scilab's test chain

skipped : Windows only You are under another OS than Windows, and this test is only available for Windows platforms

skipped : MacOSX only You are under another OS than MacOSX, and this test is only available for Mac platforms

skipped : Linux only You are under another OS than Linux, and this test is only available for Linux platforms

You then have a summary of the execution, indicating how many tests were skipped, failed or succeed, and the duration time of the whole. In details, you have a report for each test that failed, indicating where to check for error logs.

History
