ELF Test Runner is a test runner that launches an ELF binary as a component, waits for it to exit, and translates its process return code as test status (passed for zero, failed for non-zero).
This test runner is useful for tests that don‘t rely on a particular test framework, or for tests that rely on an unsupported framework. Because the contract with the test is very simple, this test runner is very flexible and can be used in many circumstances, but it offers the bare minimum features. For instance tests that use this runner can’t enumerate test cases, instead they only have one synthetic test case named “main”.
fx set core.x64 --with //src/sys/test_runners/elf fx build
Test authors can specify command line arguments to their tests in their component manifest file. These will be passed to the test when it is run.
Run:
fx run-test elf_runner_tests
The entrypoint is located in src/main.rs, the FIDL service implementation and all the test logic exists in src/test_server.rs. Unit tests are co-located with the implementation.
