Instructions for standalone test regressions of libxml2
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
libxml2-tests-$version.tar.gz contains 3 standalone C programs as well
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
as a large amount of tests and results coming from libxml2 itself and
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
from W3C, NIST, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and James Clark. Each C
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
program has a different testing purpose:
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
runtest.c : runs libxml2 basic internal regression tests
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
runsuite.c: runs libxml2 against external regression tests
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
testapi.c : exercises the library public entry points
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
testchar.c: exercise the check of character ranges and UTF-8 validation
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
The command:
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
make check
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
or
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
make -f Makefile.tests check
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
should be sufficient on an Unix system to build and exercise the tests
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
for the version of the library installed on the system. Note however
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
that there isn't backward compatibility provided so if the installed
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
version is older than the testsuite one, failing to compile or run the tests
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
is likely. In any event this won't work with an installed libxml2 older
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
than 2.6.20.
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
Building on other platforms should be a matter of compiling the C files
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
like any other program using libxml2, running the test should be done
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
simply by launching the resulting executables.
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
Also note the availability of a "make valgrind" target which will run the
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
above tests under valgrind to check for memory errors (but this relies
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
on the availability of the valgrind command and take far more time to
|
|
Packit Service |
a31ea6 |
complete).
