util-linux regression tests
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's expected that for each invasive change or important bugfix you will
 include a test to your patch.

Compile binaries, libs, extra test programs and run the basic tests:

$ make check

Compile extra test programs only:

$ make check-programs

Note that the configure option --disable-static disables many of libmount and
 libblkid unit tests.

Run all tests including tests that require root permissions:

# cd tests
	# ./run.sh [options, see --help]

Alternatively using sudo and make:

$ make check-programs
	$ sudo -E make check TS_OPTS="--parallel=1"

note that as root you have to manually remove output and diff directories

# rm -rf output diff

or run 'make clean' as root.

Run subset of tests:

$ cd tests
	$ ./run.sh <test_directory-name>

for example:

$ ./run.sh blkid
              $ ./run.sh libmount

or individual test script, for example:

$ ./ts/cal/year

The tests is possible to exclude by ./run.sh --exclude=<list>  where the
 <list> is blank separated test names in format "testdir/testname", for example:

$ ./run.sh --exclude="mount/move"

The --exclude is evaluated by the ./run.sh script only. See below

TS_OPT_testdir_[testscript_]fake=

environment variable which provides more powerful functionality to skip tests.

*** WARNING for root users ***

The tests touch your /etc/fstab, initialize loop devices or scsi_debug devices
 if executed with root permissions.

Please, be careful and use these tests only for development and never on
 production system.

environment variables
---------------------

TS_COMMAND

Evaluated by "make check" to override the default command (run.sh).
    Example:
      - build all test dependencies, but skip the actual test
        $ make check TS_COMMAND="true"

TS_OPTS

Evaluated by "make check" to pass options.to run.sh (see ./run.sh --help).
    Examples:
      - run utmp tests only
        $ make check TS_OPTS="--parallel=1 utmp"

TS_OPT_testdir_[testscript_]fake="<yes|no>"

Evaluated by any test script to skip certain tests.
    Examples:
      - skip all the tests within "fdisk" test-directory:
        $ make check TS_OPT_fdisk_fake="yes"

- skip only "fdisk/bsd" test:
        $ make check TS_OPT_fdisk_bsd_fake="yes"

- skip all "fdisk" tests except fdisk/bsd:
        $ make check TS_OPT_fdisk_fake="yes" TS_OPT_fdisk_bsd_fake="no"

TS_OPT_testdir_[testscript_]known_fail="<yes|no>"

Similar usage like TS_OPT_*_fake above. "known_fail" means that the given
    test will run but (negative) results will be ignored. The build log and test
    diffs will still remind you about the issue.

TS_OPT_testdir_[testscript_]verbose="<yes|no>"

Set verbosity for certain tests. Similar usage like TS_OPT_*_fake above.

TS_OPT_testdir_[testscript_]memcheck="<yes|no>"

Run certain tests with valgrind. Similar usage like TS_OPT_*_fake above.

External services
-----------------

Travis CI - automatically executed for all github commits.

URL: https://travis-ci.org/karelzak/util-linux/

See .travis.yml for more details.

We require "sudo" to install additional stuff and to run the tests with
    UID=0, it means that tests are executed on travis "legacy infrastructure".

lgtm CI - automatically executed security code analysis
