Regression tests framework for GlusterFS

Prereq

Build and install the version of glusterfs with your changes. Make sure the installed version is accessible from $PATH.

Passwordless ssh on the test system to itself
arequal-checksum installed on the test-system. You can find the repo here - https://github.com/raghavendrabhat/arequal

To mount glusterfs, NEVER use 'mount -t glusterfs', instead use 'glusterfs -s ' method. This is because with the patch build setup doesnot install the /sbin/mount.glusterfs necessary, where as the glusterfs binary will be accessible with $PATH, and will pick the right version.
(optional) Set environment variables to specify location of export directories and mount points. Unless you have special requirements, the defaults should just work. The variables themselves can be found at the top of tests/include.rc. All of them can be overriden with environment variables.

Execute /usr/share/glusterfs/run-tests.sh as root.
If you want to run individual tests located in /usr/share/glusterfs/tests as opposed to the full test-suite, invoke it as /usr/share/glusterfs/run-tests.sh [pattern]*, where pattern can be:
- the trailing parts of the full path of a test, e.g. tests/basic/mount.t
- the name of a file or directory, e.g self-heal.t or basic/
- bug number, which will match against numbered bugs in the tests/bugs/ directory.
- a glob pattern (see man 7 glob for mor info on globs)
To execute single ".t" file, use "prove -vf /path/to/.t"
If some test cases fail, report to GlusterFS community at gluster-devel@gluster.org.
