We're mostly saying just "curl" in lower case these days so here's a big cleanup to adapt to this reality. A few instances are left as the project could still formally be considered called cURL.

1.3 Test servers
|
|
|
|
The test suite runs simple FTP, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, HTTP and TFTP stand-alone
|
|
servers on the ports listed above to which it makes requests. For SSL tests,
|
|
it runs stunnel to handle encryption to the regular servers. For SSH, it
|
|
runs a standard OpenSSH server. For SOCKS4/5 tests SSH is used to perform
|
|
the SOCKS functionality and requires a SSH client and server.
|
|
|
|
The base port number (8990), which all the individual port numbers are
|
|
indexed from, can be set explicitly using runtests.pl' -b option to allow
|
|
running more than one instance of the test suite simultaneously on one
|
|
machine, or just move the servers in case you have local services on any of
|
|
those ports.
|
|
|
|
The HTTP server supports listening on a Unix domain socket, the default
|
|
location is 'http.sock'.
|
|
|
|
1.4 Run
|
|
|
|
'make test'. This builds the test suite support code and invokes the
|
|
'runtests.pl' perl script to run all the tests. Edit the top variables
|
|
of that script in case you have some specific needs, or run the script
|
|
manually (after the support code has been built).
|
|
|
|
The script breaks on the first test that doesn't do OK. Use -a to prevent
|
|
the script from aborting on the first error. Run the script with -v for more
|
|
verbose output. Use -d to run the test servers with debug output enabled as
|
|
well. Specifying -k keeps all the log files generated by the test intact.
|
|
|
|
Use -s for shorter output, or pass test numbers to run specific tests only
|
|
(like "./runtests.pl 3 4" to test 3 and 4 only). It also supports test case
|
|
ranges with 'to', as in "./runtests 3 to 9" which runs the seven tests from
|
|
3 to 9. Any test numbers starting with ! are disabled, as are any test
|
|
numbers found in the files data/DISABLED or data/DISABLED.local (one per
|
|
line). The latter is meant for local temporary disables and will be ignored
|
|
by git.
|
|
|
|
When -s is not present, each successful test will display on one line the
|
|
test number and description and on the next line a set of flags, the test
|
|
result, current test sequence, total number of tests to be run and an
|
|
estimated amount of time to complete the test run. The flags consist of
|
|
these letters describing what is checked in this test:
|
|
|
|
s stdout
|
|
d data
|
|
u upload
|
|
p protocol
|
|
o output
|
|
e exit code
|
|
m memory
|
|
v valgrind
|
|
|
|
1.5 Shell startup scripts
|
|
|
|
Tests which use the ssh test server, SCP/SFTP/SOCKS tests, might be badly
|
|
influenced by the output of system wide or user specific shell startup
|
|
scripts, .bashrc, .profile, /etc/csh.cshrc, .login, /etc/bashrc, etc. which
|
|
output text messages or escape sequences on user login. When these shell
|
|
startup messages or escape sequences are output they might corrupt the
|
|
expected stream of data which flows to the sftp-server or from the ssh
|
|
client which can result in bad test behaviour or even prevent the test
|
|
server from running.
|
|
|
|
If the test suite ssh or sftp server fails to start up and logs the message
|
|
'Received message too long' then you are certainly suffering the unwanted
|
|
output of a shell startup script. Locate, cleanup or adjust the shell
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
1.6 Memory test
|
|
|
|
The test script will check that all allocated memory is freed properly IF
|
|
curl has been built with the CURLDEBUG define set. The script will
|
|
automatically detect if that is the case, and it will use the
|
|
'memanalyze.pl' script to analyze the memory debugging output.
|
|
|
|
Also, if you run tests on a machine where valgrind is found, the script will
|
|
use valgrind to run the test with (unless you use -n) to further verify
|
|
correctness.
|
|
|
|
runtests.pl's -t option will enable torture testing mode, which runs each
|
|
test many times and makes each different memory allocation fail on each
|
|
successive run. This tests the out of memory error handling code to ensure
|
|
that memory leaks do not occur even in those situations. It can help to
|
|
compile curl with CPPFLAGS=-DMEMDEBUG_LOG_SYNC when using this option, to
|
|
ensure that the memory log file is properly written even if curl crashes.
|
|
|
|
1.7 Debug
|
|
|
|
If a test case fails, you can conveniently get the script to invoke the
|
|
debugger (gdb) for you with the server running and the exact same command
|
|
line parameters that failed. Just invoke 'runtests.pl <test number> -g' and
|
|
then just type 'run' in the debugger to perform the command through the
|
|
debugger.
|
|
|
|
1.8 Logs
|
|
|
|
All logs are generated in the log/ subdirectory (it is emptied first in the
|
|
runtests.pl script). Use runtests.pl -k to force it to keep the temporary
|
|
files after the test run since successful runs will clean it up otherwise.
|
|
|
|
1.9 Test input files
|
|
|
|
All test cases are put in the data/ subdirectory. Each test is stored in the
|
|
file named according to the test number.
|
|
|
|
See FILEFORMAT for the description of the test case files.
|
|
|
|
1.10 Code coverage
|
|
|
|
gcc provides a tool that can determine the code coverage figures for
|
|
the test suite. To use it, configure curl with
|
|
CFLAGS='-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -g -O0'. Make sure you run the normal
|
|
and torture tests to get more full coverage, i.e. do:
|
|
|
|
make test
|
|
make test-torture
|
|
|
|
The graphical tool ggcov can be used to browse the source and create
|
|
coverage reports on *NIX hosts:
|
|
|
|
ggcov -r lib src
|
|
|
|
The text mode tool gcov may also be used, but it doesn't handle object files
|
|
in more than one directory very well.
|
|
|
|
1.11 Remote testing
|
|
|
|
The runtests.pl script provides some hooks to allow curl to be tested on a
|
|
machine where perl can not be run. The test framework in this case runs on
|
|
a workstation where perl is available, while curl itself is run on a remote
|
|
system using ssh or some other remote execution method. See the comments at
|
|
the beginning of runtests.pl for details.
|
|
|
|
2. Numbering
|
|
|
|
2.1 Test case numbering
|
|
|
|
1 - 99 HTTP
|
|
100 - 199 FTP
|
|
200 - 299 FILE
|
|
300 - 399 HTTPS
|
|
400 - 499 FTPS
|
|
500 - 599 libcurl source code tests, not using the curl command tool
|
|
600 - 699 SCP/SFTP
|
|
700 - 799 SOCKS4 (even numbers) and SOCK5 (odd numbers)
|
|
800 - 849 IMAP
|
|
850 - 899 POP3
|
|
900 - 999 SMTP
|
|
1000 - 1299 miscellaneous
|
|
1300 - 1399 unit tests
|
|
1400 - 1499 miscellaneous
|
|
1500 - 1599 libcurl source code tests, not using the curl command tool
|
|
(same as 5xx)
|
|
1600 - 1699 unit tests
|
|
2000 - x multiple sequential protocols per test case
|
|
|
|
There's nothing in the system that *requires* us to keep within these number
|
|
series.
|
|
|
|
3. Write tests
|
|
|
|
Here's a quick description on writing test cases. We basically have three
|
|
kinds of tests: the ones that test the curl tool, the ones that build small
|
|
applications and test libcurl directly and the unit tests that test
|
|
individual (possibly internal) functions.
|
|
|
|
3.1 test data
|
|
|
|
Each test has a master file that controls all the test data. What to read,
|
|
what the protocol exchange should look like, what exit code to expect and
|
|
what command line arguments to use etc.
|
|
|
|
These files are tests/data/test[num] where [num] is described in section 2
|
|
of this document, and the XML-like file format of them is described in the
|
|
separate tests/FILEFORMAT document.
|
|
|
|
3.2 curl tests
|
|
|
|
A test case that runs the curl tool and verifies that it gets the correct
|
|
data, it sends the correct data, it uses the correct protocol primitives
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
3.3 libcurl tests
|
|
|
|
The libcurl tests are identical to the curl ones, except that they use a
|
|
specific and dedicated custom-built program to run instead of "curl". This
|
|
tool is built from source code placed in tests/libtest and if you want to
|
|
make a new libcurl test that is where you add your code.
|
|
|
|
3.4 unit tests
|
|
|
|
Unit tests are tests in the 13xx sequence and they are placed in tests/unit.
|
|
There's a tests/unit/README describing the specific set of checks and macros
|
|
that may be used when writing tests that verify behaviors of specific
|
|
individual functions.
|
|
|
|
The unit tests depend on curl being built with debug enabled.
|
|
|
|
4. TODO
|
|
|
|
4.1 More protocols
|
|
|
|
Add tests for TELNET, LDAP, DICT...
|
|
|
|
4.2 SOCKS auth
|
|
|
|
SOCKS4/5 test deficiencies - no proxy authentication tests as SSH (the
|
|
test mechanism) doesn't support them
|
