259.Ed
260.Ss Definition of test cases
261Test cases have an identifier and are composed of three different parts:
262the header, the body and an optional cleanup routine, all of which are
263described in
264.Xr atf-test-case 4 .
265To define test cases, one can use the
266.Fn ATF_TC ,
267.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP
268or the
269.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
270macros, which take a single parameter specifying the test case's name.
271.Fn ATF_TC ,
272requires to define a head and a body for the test case,
273.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP
274requires to define a head, a body and a cleanup for the test case and
275.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
276requires only a body for the test case.
277It is important to note that these
278.Em do not
279set the test case up for execution when the program is run.
280In order to do so, a later registration is needed with the
281.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TC
282macro detailed in
283.Sx Program initialization .
284.Pp
285Later on, one must define the three parts of the body by means of three
286functions.
287Their headers are given by the
288.Fn ATF_TC_HEAD ,
289.Fn ATF_TC_BODY
290and
291.Fn ATF_TC_CLEANUP
292macros, all of which take the test case name provided to the
293.Fn ATF_TC
294.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP ,
295or
296.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
297macros and the name of the variable that will hold a pointer to the
298test case data.
299Following each of these, a block of code is expected, surrounded by the
300opening and closing brackets.
301.Ss Program initialization
302The library provides a way to easily define the test program's
303.Fn main
304function.
305You should never define one on your own, but rely on the
306library to do it for you.
307This is done by using the
308.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TCS
309macro, which is passed the name of the object that will hold the test
310cases, i.e., the test program instance.
311This name can be whatever you want as long as it is a valid variable
312identifier.
313.Pp
314After the macro, you are supposed to provide the body of a function, which
315should only use the
316.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TC
317macro to register the test cases the test program will execute and return
318a success error code.
319The first parameter of this macro matches the name you provided in the
320former call.
321The success status can be returned using the
322.Fn atf_no_error
323function.
324.Ss Header definitions
325The test case's header can define the meta-data by using the
326.Fn atf_tc_set_md_var
327method, which takes three parameters: the first one points to the test
328case data, the second one specifies the meta-data variable to be set
329and the third one specifies its value.
330Both of them are strings.
331.Ss Configuration variables
332The test case has read-only access to the current configuration variables
333by means of the
334.Ft bool
335.Fn atf_tc_has_config_var ,
336.Ft const char *
337.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var ,
338.Ft const char *
339.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_wd ,
340.Ft bool
341.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_bool ,
342.Ft bool
343.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_bool_wd ,
344.Ft long
345.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_long ,
346and the
347.Ft long
348.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_long_wd
349functions, which can be called in any of the three parts of a test case.
350.Pp
351The
352.Sq _wd
353variants take a default value for the variable which is returned if the
354variable is not defined.
355The other functions without the
356.Sq _wd
357suffix
358.Em require
359the variable to be defined.
360.Ss Access to the source directory
361It is possible to get the path to the test case's source directory from any
362of its three components by querying the
363.Sq srcdir
364configuration variable.
365.Ss Requiring programs
366Aside from the
367.Va require.progs
368meta-data variable available in the header only, one can also check for
369additional programs in the test case's body by using the
370.Fn atf_tc_require_prog
371function, which takes the base name or full path of a single binary.
372Relative paths are forbidden.
373If it is not found, the test case will be automatically skipped.
374.Ss Test case finalization
375The test case finalizes either when the body reaches its end, at which
376point the test is assumed to have
377.Em passed ,
378unless any non-fatal errors were raised using
379.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal ,
380or at any explicit call to
381.Fn atf_tc_pass ,
382.Fn atf_tc_fail
383or
384.Fn atf_tc_skip .
385These three functions terminate the execution of the test case immediately.
386The cleanup routine will be processed afterwards in a completely automated
387way, regardless of the test case's termination reason.
388.Pp
389.Fn atf_tc_pass
390does not take any parameters.
391.Fn atf_tc_fail ,
392.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal
393and
394.Fn atf_tc_skip
395take a format string and a variable list of parameters, which describe, in
396a user-friendly manner, why the test case failed or was skipped,
397respectively.
398It is very important to provide a clear error message in both cases so that
399the user can quickly know why the test did not pass.
400.Ss Expectations
401Everything explained in the previous section changes when the test case
402expectations are redefined by the programmer.
403.Pp
404Each test case has an internal state called
405.Sq expect
406that describes what the test case expectations are at any point in time.
407The value of this property can change during execution by any of:
408.Bl -tag -width indent
409.It Fn atf_tc_expect_death "reason" "..."
410Expects the test case to exit prematurely regardless of the nature of the
411exit.
412.It Fn atf_tc_expect_exit "exitcode" "reason" "..."
413Expects the test case to exit cleanly.
414If
415.Va exitcode
416is not
417.Sq -1 ,
418the runtime engine will validate that the exit code of the test case
419matches the one provided in this call.
420Otherwise, the exact value will be ignored.
421.It Fn atf_tc_expect_fail "reason" "..."
422Any failure (be it fatal or non-fatal) raised in this mode is recorded.
423However, such failures do not report the test case as failed; instead, the
424test case finalizes cleanly and is reported as
425.Sq expected failure ;
426this report includes the provided
427.Fa reason
428as part of it.
429If no error is raised while running in this mode, then the test case is
430reported as
431.Sq failed .
432.Pp
433This mode is useful to reproduce actual known bugs in tests.
434Whenever the developer fixes the bug later on, the test case will start
435reporting a failure, signaling the developer that the test case must be
436adjusted to the new conditions.
437In this situation, it is useful, for example, to set
438.Fa reason
439as the bug number for tracking purposes.
440.It Fn atf_tc_expect_pass
441This is the normal mode of execution.
442In this mode, any failure is reported as such to the user and the test case
443is marked as
444.Sq failed .
445.It Fn atf_tc_expect_signal "signo" "reason" "..."
446Expects the test case to terminate due to the reception of a signal.
447If
448.Va signo
449is not
450.Sq -1 ,
451the runtime engine will validate that the signal that terminated the test
452case matches the one provided in this call.
453Otherwise, the exact value will be ignored.
454.It Fn atf_tc_expect_timeout "reason" "..."
455Expects the test case to execute for longer than its timeout.
456.El
457.Ss Helper macros for common checks
458The library provides several macros that are very handy in multiple
459situations.
460These basically check some condition after executing a given statement or
461processing a given expression and, if the condition is not met, they
462report the test case as failed.
463.Pp
464The
465.Sq REQUIRE
466variant of the macros immediately abort the test case as soon as an error
467condition is detected by calling the
468.Fn atf_tc_fail
469function.
470Use this variant whenever it makes no sense to continue the execution of a
471test case when the checked condition is not met.
472The
473.Sq CHECK
474variant, on the other hand, reports a failure as soon as it is encountered
475using the
476.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal
477function, but the execution of the test case continues as if nothing had
478happened.
479Use this variant whenever the checked condition is important as a result of
480the test case, but there are other conditions that can be subsequently
481checked on the same run without aborting.
482.Pp
483Additionally, the
484.Sq MSG
485variants take an extra set of parameters to explicitly specify the failure
486message.
487This failure message is formatted according to the
488.Xr printf 3
489formatters.
490.Pp
491.Fn ATF_CHECK ,
492.Fn ATF_CHECK_MSG ,
493.Fn ATF_REQUIRE
494and
495.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_MSG
496take an expression and fail if the expression evaluates to false.
497.Pp
498.Fn ATF_CHECK_EQ ,
499.Fn ATF_CHECK_EQ_MSG ,
500.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_EQ
501and
502.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_EQ_MSG
503take two expressions and fail if the two evaluated values are not equal.
504The common style is to put the expected value in the first parameter and the
505observed value in the second parameter.
506.Pp
507.Fn ATF_CHECK_MATCH ,
508.Fn ATF_CHECK_MATCH_MSG ,
509.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH
510and
511.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH_MSG
512take a regular expression and a string and fail if the regular expression does
513not match the given string.
514Note that the regular expression is not anchored, so it will match anywhere in
515the string.
516.Pp
517.Fn ATF_CHECK_STREQ ,
518.Fn ATF_CHECK_STREQ_MSG ,
519.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_STREQ
520and
521.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_STREQ_MSG
522take two strings and fail if the two are not equal character by character.
523The common style is to put the expected string in the first parameter and the
524observed string in the second parameter.
525.Pp
526.Fn ATF_CHECK_INTEQ ,
527.Fn ATF_CHECK_INTEQ_MSG ,
528.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_INTEQ
529and
530.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_INTQ_MSG
531take two integers and fail if the two are not equal.
532The common style is to put the expected integer in the first parameter and the
533observed integer in the second parameter.
534.Pp
535.Fn ATF_CHECK_ERRNO
536and
537.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_ERRNO
538take, first, the error code that the check is expecting to find in the
539.Va errno
540variable and, second, a boolean expression that, if evaluates to true,
541means that a call failed and
542.Va errno
543has to be checked against the first value.
544.Ss Utility functions
545The following functions are provided as part of the
546.Nm
547API to simplify the creation of a variety of tests.
548In particular, these are useful to write tests for command-line interfaces.
