253.Ed
254.Ss Definition of test cases
255Test cases have an identifier and are composed of three different parts:
256the header, the body and an optional cleanup routine, all of which are
257described in
258.Xr atf-test-case 4 .
259To define test cases, one can use the
260.Fn ATF_TC ,
261.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP
262or the
263.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
264macros, which take a single parameter specifiying the test case's name.
265.Fn ATF_TC ,
266requires to define a head and a body for the test case,
267.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP
268requires to define a head, a body and a cleanup for the test case and
269.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
270requires only a body for the test case.
271It is important to note that these
272.Em do not
273set the test case up for execution when the program is run.
274In order to do so, a later registration is needed with the
275.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TC
276macro detailed in
277.Sx Program initialization .
278.Pp
279Later on, one must define the three parts of the body by means of three
280functions.
281Their headers are given by the
282.Fn ATF_TC_HEAD ,
283.Fn ATF_TC_BODY
284and
285.Fn ATF_TC_CLEANUP
286macros, all of which take the test case name provided to the
287.Fn ATF_TC
288.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP ,
289or
290.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
291macros and the name of the variable that will hold a pointer to the
292test case data.
293Following each of these, a block of code is expected, surrounded by the
294opening and closing brackets.
295.Ss Program initialization
296The library provides a way to easily define the test program's
297.Fn main
298function.
299You should never define one on your own, but rely on the
300library to do it for you.
301This is done by using the
302.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TCS
303macro, which is passed the name of the object that will hold the test
304cases; i.e. the test program instance.
305This name can be whatever you want as long as it is a valid variable
306identifier.
307.Pp
308After the macro, you are supposed to provide the body of a function, which
309should only use the
310.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TC
311macro to register the test cases the test program will execute and return
312a success error code.
313The first parameter of this macro matches the name you provided in the
314former call.
315The success status can be returned using the
316.Fn atf_no_error
317function.
318.Ss Header definitions
319The test case's header can define the meta-data by using the
320.Fn atf_tc_set_md_var
321method, which takes three parameters: the first one points to the test
322case data, the second one specifies the meta-data variable to be set
323and the third one specifies its value.
324Both of them are strings.
325.Ss Configuration variables
326The test case has read-only access to the current configuration variables
327by means of the
328.Ft bool
329.Fn atf_tc_has_config_var ,
330.Ft const char *
331.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var ,
332.Ft const char *
333.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_wd ,
334.Ft bool
335.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_bool ,
336.Ft bool
337.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_bool_wd ,
338.Ft long
339.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_long ,
340and the
341.Ft long
342.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_long_wd
343functions, which can be called in any of the three parts of a test case.
344.Pp
345The
346.Sq _wd
347variants take a default value for the variable which is returned if the
348variable is not defined.
349The other functions without the
350.Sq _wd
351suffix
352.Em require
353the variable to be defined.
354.Ss Access to the source directory
355It is possible to get the path to the test case's source directory from any
356of its three components by querying the
357.Sq srcdir
358configuration variable.
359.Ss Requiring programs
360Aside from the
361.Va require.progs
362meta-data variable available in the header only, one can also check for
363additional programs in the test case's body by using the
364.Fn atf_tc_require_prog
365function, which takes the base name or full path of a single binary.
366Relative paths are forbidden.
367If it is not found, the test case will be automatically skipped.
368.Ss Test case finalization
369The test case finalizes either when the body reaches its end, at which
370point the test is assumed to have
371.Em passed ,
372unless any non-fatal errors were raised using
373.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal ,
374or at any explicit call to
375.Fn atf_tc_pass ,
376.Fn atf_tc_fail
377or
378.Fn atf_tc_skip .
379These three functions terminate the execution of the test case immediately.
380The cleanup routine will be processed afterwards in a completely automated
381way, regardless of the test case's termination reason.
382.Pp
383.Fn atf_tc_pass
384does not take any parameters.
385.Fn atf_tc_fail ,
386.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal
387and
388.Fn atf_tc_skip
389take a format string and a variable list of parameters, which describe, in
390a user-friendly manner, why the test case failed or was skipped,
391respectively.
392It is very important to provide a clear error message in both cases so that
393the user can quickly know why the test did not pass.
394.Ss Expectations
395Everything explained in the previous section changes when the test case
396expectations are redefined by the programmer.
397.Pp
398Each test case has an internal state called
399.Sq expect
400that describes what the test case expectations are at any point in time.
401The value of this property can change during execution by any of:
402.Bl -tag -width indent
403.It Fn atf_tc_expect_death "reason" "..."
404Expects the test case to exit prematurely regardless of the nature of the
405exit.
406.It Fn atf_tc_expect_exit "exitcode" "reason" "..."
407Expects the test case to exit cleanly.
408If
409.Va exitcode
410is not
411.Sq -1 ,
412the runtime engine will validate that the exit code of the test case
413matches the one provided in this call.
414Otherwise, the exact value will be ignored.
415.It Fn atf_tc_expect_fail "reason" "..."
416Any failure (be it fatal or non-fatal) raised in this mode is recorded.
417However, such failures do not report the test case as failed; instead, the
418test case finalizes cleanly and is reported as
419.Sq expected failure ;
420this report includes the provided
421.Fa reason
422as part of it.
423If no error is raised while running in this mode, then the test case is
424reported as
425.Sq failed .
426.Pp
427This mode is useful to reproduce actual known bugs in tests.
428Whenever the developer fixes the bug later on, the test case will start
429reporting a failure, signaling the developer that the test case must be
430adjusted to the new conditions.
431In this situation, it is useful, for example, to set
432.Fa reason
433as the bug number for tracking purposes.
434.It Fn atf_tc_expect_pass
435This is the normal mode of execution.
436In this mode, any failure is reported as such to the user and the test case
437is marked as
438.Sq failed .
439.It Fn atf_tc_expect_signal "signo" "reason" "..."
440Expects the test case to terminate due to the reception of a signal.
441If
442.Va signo
443is not
444.Sq -1 ,
445the runtime engine will validate that the signal that terminated the test
446case matches the one provided in this call.
447Otherwise, the exact value will be ignored.
448.It Fn atf_tc_expect_timeout "reason" "..."
449Expects the test case to execute for longer than its timeout.
450.El
451.Ss Helper macros for common checks
452The library provides several macros that are very handy in multiple
453situations.
454These basically check some condition after executing a given statement or
455processing a given expression and, if the condition is not met, they
456report the test case as failed.
457.Pp
458The
459.Sq REQUIRE
460variant of the macros immediately abort the test case as soon as an error
461condition is detected by calling the
462.Fn atf_tc_fail
463function.
464Use this variant whenever it makes no sense to continue the execution of a
465test case when the checked condition is not met.
466The
467.Sq CHECK
468variant, on the other hand, reports a failure as soon as it is encountered
469using the
470.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal
471function, but the execution of the test case continues as if nothing had
472happened.
473Use this variant whenever the checked condition is important as a result of
474the test case, but there are other conditions that can be subsequently
475checked on the same run without aborting.
476.Pp
477Additionally, the
478.Sq MSG
479variants take an extra set of parameters to explicitly specify the failure
480message.
481This failure message is formatted according to the
482.Xr printf 3
483formatters.
484.Pp
485.Fn ATF_CHECK ,
486.Fn ATF_CHECK_MSG ,
487.Fn ATF_REQUIRE
488and
489.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_MSG
490take an expression and fail if the expression evaluates to false.
491.Pp
492.Fn ATF_CHECK_EQ ,
493.Fn ATF_CHECK_EQ_MSG ,
494.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_EQ
495and
496.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_EQ_MSG
497take two expressions and fail if the two evaluated values are not equal.
498.Pp
499.Fn ATF_CHECK_MATCH ,
500.Fn ATF_CHECK_MATCH_MSG ,
501.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH
502and
503.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH_MSG
504take a regular expression and a string and fail if the regular expression does
505not match the given string.
506Note that the regular expression is not anchored, so it will match anywhere in
507the string.
508.Pp
509.Fn ATF_CHECK_STREQ ,
510.Fn ATF_CHECK_STREQ_MSG ,
511.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_STREQ
512and
513.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_STREQ_MSG
514take two strings and fail if the two are not equal character by character.
515.Pp
516.Fn ATF_CHECK_ERRNO
517and
518.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_ERRNO
519take, first, the error code that the check is expecting to find in the
520.Va errno
521variable and, second, a boolean expression that, if evaluates to true,
522means that a call failed and
523.Va errno
524has to be checked against the first value.
525.Ss Utility functions
526The following functions are provided as part of the
527.Nm
528API to simplify the creation of a variety of tests.
529In particular, these are useful to write tests for command-line interfaces.
