testsuite Scripts For putting Autotest into movement, you need some configuration and Makefile machinery. We recommend, at least if your package uses deep or shallow hierarchies, that you use `tests/' as the name of the directory holding all your tests and their `Makefile'. Here is a check list of things to do.
AT_PACKAGE_STRING, the
full signature of the package, and AT_PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, the
address to which bug reports should be sent. For sake of completeness,
we suggest that you also define AT_PACKAGE_NAME,
AT_PACKAGE_TARNAME, and AT_PACKAGE_VERSION.
See section 4.1 Initializing configure, for a description of these variables. We
suggest the following Makefile excerpt:
$(srcdir)/package.m4: $(top_srcdir)/configure.ac
{ \
echo '# Signature of the current package.'; \
echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_NAME], [@PACKAGE_NAME@])'; \
echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_TARNAME], [@PACKAGE_TARNAME@])'; \
echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_VERSION], [@PACKAGE_VERSION@])'; \
echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_STRING], [@PACKAGE_STRING@])'; \
echo 'm4_define([AT_PACKAGE_BUGREPORT], [@PACKAGE_BUGREPORT@])'; \
} >$(srcdir)/package.m4
|
Be sure to distribute `package.m4' and to put it into the source hierarchy: the test suite ought to be shipped!
AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR.
AUTOTEST_PATH to test-path (see section 16.3 Running testsuite Scripts).
AC_CONFIG_FILES command includes substitution for
`tests/atlocal'.
With Automake, here is a minimal example about how to link `make check' with a validation suite.
EXTRA_DIST = testsuite.at testsuite
TESTSUITE = $(srcdir)/testsuite
check-local: atconfig atlocal $(TESTSUITE)
$(SHELL) $(TESTSUITE)
AUTOTEST = $(AUTOM4TE) --language=autotest
$(TESTSUITE): $(srcdir)/testsuite.at
$(AUTOTEST) -I $(srcdir) $@.at -o $@.tmp
mv $@.tmp $@
|
You might want to list explicitly the dependencies, i.e., the list of the files `testsuite.at' includes.
With strict Autoconf, you might need to add lines inspired from the following:
subdir = tests
atconfig: $(top_builddir)/config.status
cd $(top_builddir) && \
$(SHELL) ./config.status $(subdir)/$@
atlocal: $(srcdir)/atlocal.in $(top_builddir)/config.status
cd $(top_builddir) && \
$(SHELL) ./config.status $(subdir)/$@
|
and manage to have `atconfig.in' and $(EXTRA_DIST)
distributed.
