| The file format of the test suite is a very simple and extendable format. All |
| data for a single test case resides in a single ASCII file. Labels mark the |
| beginning and the end of all sections. Each label must be written in its own |
| line and is resembling XML/HTML. |
| |
| Each file is split up in three main sections: reply, client and verify. The |
| reply section is used for the server to know what to send as a reply for the |
| requests curl sends, the client section defines how the client should behave |
| while the verify section defines how to verify that the data stored after a |
| command has been run ended up correctly. |
| |
| Each main section has a number of available subsections that can be |
| specified, that will be checked/used if specified. This document includes all |
| the subsections currently supported. |
| |
| <reply> |
| <data [nocheck=1]> |
| data to sent to the client on its request and later verified that it arrived |
| safely. Set the nocheck=1 to prevent the test script to verify the arrival |
| of this data. |
| </data> |
| <datacheck [nonewline=yes]> |
| if the data is sent but this is what should be checked afterwards. If |
| 'nonewline' is set, we will cut off the trailing newline of this given data |
| before comparing with the one actually received by the client |
| </datacheck> |
| <size> |
| number to return on a ftp SIZE command (set to -1 to make this command fail) |
| </size> |
| <cmd> |
| special purpose server-command to control its behavior *before* the |
| reply is sent |
| </cmd> |
| <postcmd> |
| special purpose server-command to control its behavior *after* the |
| reply is sent |
| </postcmd> |
| </reply> |
| |
| <client> |
| |
| <server> |
| protocols as in 'http' 'ftp' etc. Give only one per line. Used for test cases |
| 500+ (at this point) to specify which servers the test case requires. In the |
| future all test cases should use this. Makes us independent of the test |
| case number. |
| </server> |
| |
| <killserver> |
| Using the same syntax as in <server> but when mentioned here these servers |
| are explicitly KILLED when this test case is completed. Only use this if there |
| is no other alternatives. Using this of course requires subsequent tests to |
| restart servers. |
| </killserver> |
| |
| <tool> |
| Name of tool to use instead of "curl". This tool must be built and exist |
| in the libtest/ directory. |
| </tool> |
| |
| <name> |
| test case description |
| </name> |
| |
| <command [option=no-output]> |
| command line to run, there's a bunch of %variables that get replaced |
| accordingly. more about them elsewhere |
| |
| Set 'option=no-output' to prevent the test script to slap on the --output |
| argument that directs the output to a file. The --output is also not added if |
| the client/stdout section is used. |
| |
| Available substitute variables include: |
| %HOSTIP - IP address of the host running this test |
| %HOSTPORT - Port number of the HTTP server |
| %HTTPSPORT - Port number of the HTTPS server |
| %FTPPORT - Port number of the FTP server |
| %FTPSPORT - Port number of the FTPS server |
| %SRCDIR - Full path to the source dir |
| %PWD - Current directory |
| </command> |
| |
| <file name="log/filename"> |
| this creates the named file with this content before the test case is run |
| which is useful if the test case needs a file to act on. |
| </file> |
| |
| </client> |
| |
| <verify> |
| <errorcode> |
| numerical error code curl is supposed to return |
| </errorcode> |
| <strip> |
| One regex per line that is removed from the protocol dumps before the |
| comparison is made. This is very useful to remove dependencies on dynamicly |
| changing protocol data such as port numbers or user-agent strings. |
| </strip> |
| <protocol [nonewline=yes]> |
| the protocol dump curl should transmit, if 'nonewline' is set, we will cut |
| off the trailing newline of this given data before comparing with the one |
| actually sent by the client |
| </protocol> |
| <stdout> |
| This verfies that this data was passed to stdout. |
| </stdout> |
| <file name="log/filename"> |
| the file's contents must be identical to this |
| </file> |
| <upload> |
| the contents of the upload data curl should have sent |
| </upload> |
| </verify> |
