RunCMake.CPack is a test module that is intended for testing of package generators that can be validated from command line. ------------- Adding a test ------------- CPack test root directory: 'Tests/RunCMake/CPack/tests'. All phases are executed separately for each generator that is bound to a test. Tests for each generator are subtests of test 'RunCMake.CPack_'. Each test must also be added to 'RunCMakeTest.cmake' script located in CPack test root directory. Line that adds a test is: run_cpack_test( "" "") may be one generator e.g. "RPM" or multiple e.g. "RPM;DEB" and will be run for all listed generators. In test and verification scripts current generator can be accessed through GENERATOR_TYPE variable. is a boolean variable that enables or disables compile stage - most tests don't require compilation as a non binary file can be used for package content but sometimes an executable or a library has to be created before the packaging stage. can be a list of one or more packaging types: MONOLITHIC, COMPONENT or GROUP - each type sets per generator default variables which can be overwritten in the test if needed (see /packaging__default.cmake for the variables that are set by default for each packaging type). Alternatively CUSTOM value can be set which means that default values will not be set and that values will be set manually in the test itself. Alternatively a test with subtests can be added: run_cpack_test_subtests( "" "" "") is the only new parameter and it is a list of names that will be used for subtests. In test and verification scripts subtest name can be accessed through RunCMake_SUBTEST_SUFFIX variable. Also source package tests can be added: run_cpack_source_test( "" true) Test consists of - test prerequirements phase (optional) - CMake execution phase - build phase (optional and not available for source package tests) - CPack execution phase - verification of generated files The phases are executed once per specified generator, packaging type and subtest combinatiion. test prerequirements phase (optional): -------------------------------------- In some cases individual tests for certain generator need additional prerequirements met. In such cases '/-Prerequirements.cmake' file containing 'function(get_test_prerequirements found_var config_file)' should be created. Function should return true in found_var if all prerequirements are met. config_file variable contains the location of config file generated by the generator so that this function can check if prerequired variable is set in the file. NOTE: All required programs should be searched for in generator prerequirements function and only checked for the variable in configure file in per test function. If prerequirements are not met test will be skipped outputting ' - SKIPPED' string. Note that this doesn't fail the entire test group. TODO: skipped tests should provide expected error string so test should fail if error string is not found in the output of run test (this would add 'EXPECTED FAIL' string on success and 'ERROR' on failure). CMake execution phase: ---------------------- To add a new CPack test we first create a '/test.cmake' script that contains CMake commands that should be used as a preparation script for generation of different types of packages. This script is placed into CPack test root directory. If test will be used for multiple generators but some of them require some generator specific commands then those commands should be added to 'test.cmake' script wrapped with 'if(GENERATOR_TYPE STREQUAL )'. NOTE: In some cases (for example when testing CPackComponent.cmake functions) the test has to run some functions after CPack.cmake is included. In such cases a function run_after_include_cpack can be declared in test.cmake file and that function will run after the inclusion of CPack.cmake. build phase (optional and not available for source package tests) ----------------------------------------------------------------- This phase only runs make command. NOTE: By default all tests have CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable set to Debug. CPack execution phase: ---------------------- Only executes CPack for content that was generated during CMake execution phase. NOTE: By default CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME variable is set to lower case test name. Verification of generated files: -------------------------------- Verification of generated files consists of two phases - mandatory verification phase - optional verification phase Mandatory verification phase checks that expected files were generated and contain expected files. Mandatory verification phase also checks that no other unexpected package files were generated (this is executed even if EXPECTED_FILES_COUNT contains 0 in order to verify that no files were generated). CMake script '/ExpectedFiles.cmake' is required by this step and must contain - EXPECTED_FILES_COUNT variable that contains the number of expected files that will be generated (0 or more) - EXPECTED_FILE_ that contains globing expression that uniquely defines expected file name (will be used to find expected file) and should be present once for each expected file. NOTE: This variable should be used only as last resort as it sets generator specific globbing expression. Each generator can recreate file name from parts that are already populated by default but can always be overwritten if needed: - EXPECTED_FILE__NAME is the name component of the file (by default it is set to package name that is same as test name in lowercase) - EXPECTED_FILE__VERSION is the version of the package (by default it is set to '0.1.1') - EXPECTED_FILE__REVISION is the revision of the package (by default it is set to '1') - EXPECTED_FILE_CONTENT_ that contains regular expression of files that should be present in generated file and should be present once for each expected file NOTE: This variable should be used only as last resort as it sets generator specific regular expression. EXPECTED_FILE_CONTENT__LIST should be prefered as it requires a list of expected files and directories that is later changed automatically depending on the generator so expected package content can be written only once per test for all generators. Optional verification phase is generator specific and is optionaly executed. This phase is executed if '/VerifyResult.cmake' script exists. VerifyResult.cmake script also automatically prints out standard output and standard error from CPack execution phase that is compared with '/-stdout.txt' regular expression and and '/-stderr.txt' regular expresson respectively. NOTE: For subtests generator name can also be suffixed with subtest name and/or packaging type (MONOLITHIC, COMPONENT, GROUP) and in such cases the preferences of which file will be used are as follows: - generator name + packaging type + subtest name - generator name + packaging type - generator name + subtest name - generator name - default generator File name format: '---std.txt' where can either be 'out' or 'err'. File name format: '--std.txt' where can either be 'out' or 'err'. File name format: '--std.txt' where can either be 'out' or 'err'. NOTE: If none of the comparison files are present then the default generator file is used if present. ---------------------- Adding a new generator ---------------------- To add a new generator we must - add new generator directory (e.g. RPM for RPM generator) to CPack test root directory that contains 'Helpers.cmake' script. - In this script some functions must exist: - getPackageContent: This function should list files that are contained in a package. Function parameters: + FILE variable that will contain path to file for which the content should be listed + RESULT_VAR that will tell the function which variable in parent scope should contain the result (list of files inside package file) - getPackageNameGlobexpr: This function should generate package name globbing expression. Function parameters: + NAME that will contain the expected package name + COMPONENT that will contain the expected package component + VERSION that will contain the expected package version + REVISION that will contain the expected package revision number + FILE_NO that will contain the file number for which the globbing expression is generated + RESULT_VAR that will tell the function which variable in parent scope should contain the result (file name globbing expression) - getPackageContentList: This function should return a list of files and directories that are in the provided package. Function parameters: + FILE that will contain the package file for which the package content should be returned. + RESULT_VAR that will tell the function which variable in parent scope should contain the result (list of pacakge content) - toExpectedContentList: This function should convert an expected package content list into one that is expected for the generator (e.g. rpm packages have install/relocate path prefixes which aren't part of the package so those paths have to be removed from the expected content list). Function parameters: + FILE_NO that will contain the file number for which the conversion should be performed + CONTENT_VAR that will contain the input list and is also the variable in parent scope which should contain the result (converted content list) - add 'Prerequirements.cmake' script to generator directory. In this script a function named 'get_test_prerequirements' must exist. This function should set a variable in parent scope (name of the variable is the first parameter) that tells if prerequirements for test execution are met (certain programs, OS specifics, ...) and create a config file (name of the variable which contains file name and path is provided with the second parameter) that should contain 'set' commands for variables that will later be used in tests (e.g. location of dpkg program for DEB packages) - add tests the same way as described above - add generator to 'add_RunCMake_test_group' function call that is located in RunCMake CMakeLists.txt file - if needed add 'packaging__default.cmake' scripts that define default variables that will be set for each packaging type (MONOLITHIC, COMPONENT and GROUP) - if needed add 'default_expected_std.txt' files where is either 'out' or 'err' which will contain default expected output of package generation regular expression. - add generator to list of other CPack generators in RunCMake/CMakeLists.txt
