29.Dt KYUA-DEBUG 1
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm "kyua debug"
33.Nd Executes a single test case with facilities for debugging
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm
36.Op Fl -build-root Ar path
37.Op Fl -kyuafile Ar file
38.Op Fl -stdout Ar path
39.Op Fl -stderr Ar path
40.Ar test_case
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44command provides a mechanism to execute a single test case bypassing some
45of the Kyua infrastructure and allowing the user to poke into the execution
46behavior of the test.
47.Pp
48The test case to run is selected by providing a test filter, described below in
49.Sx Test filters ,
50that matches a single test case.
51The test case is executed and its result is printed as the last line of the
52output of the tool.
53.Pp
54The test executed by
55.Nm
56is run under a controlled environment as described in
57.Sx Test isolation .
58.Pp
59At the moment, the
60.Nm
61command allows the following aspects of a test case execution to be
62tweaked:
63.Bl -bullet
64.It
65Redirection of the test case's stdout and stderr to the console (the
66default) or to arbitrary files.
67See the
68.Fl -stdout
69and
70.Fl -stderr
71options below.
72.El
73.Pp
74The following subcommand options are recognized:
75.Bl -tag -width XX
76.It Fl -build-root Ar path
77Specifies the build root in which to find the test programs referenced
78by the Kyuafile, if different from the Kyuafile's directory.
79See
80.Sx Build directories
81below for more information.
82.It Fl -kyuafile Ar file , Fl k Ar file
83Specifies the Kyuafile to process.
84Defaults to
85.Pa Kyuafile
86file in the current directory.
87.It Fl -stderr Ar path
88Specifies the file to which to send the standard error of the test
89program's body.
90The default is
91.Pa /dev/stderr ,
92which is a special character device that redirects the output to
93standard error on the console.
94.It Fl -stdout Ar path
95Specifies the file to which to send the standard output of the test
96program's body.
97The default is
98.Pa /dev/stdout ,
99which is a special character device that redirects the output to
100standard output on the console.
101.El
102.Pp
103For example, consider the following Kyua session:
104.Bd -literal -offset indent
105$ kyua test
106kernel/fs:mkdir  ->  passed
107kernel/fs:rmdir  ->  failed: Invalid argument
108
1091/2 passed (1 failed)
110.Ed
111.Pp
112At this point, we do not have a lot of information regarding the
113failure of the
114.Sq kernel/fs:rmdir
115test.
116We can run this test through the
117.Nm
118command to inspect its output a bit closer, hoping that the test case is
119kind enough to log its progress:
120.Bd -literal -offset indent
121$ kyua debug kernel/fs:rmdir
122Trying rmdir('foo')
123Trying rmdir(NULL)
124kernel/fs:rmdir  ->  failed: Invalid argument
125.Ed
126.Pp
127Luckily, the offending test case was printing status lines as it
128progressed, so we could see the last attempted call and we can know match
129the failure message to the problem.
130.Ss Build directories

134.Ss Test isolation
135__include__ test-isolation.mdoc
136.Sh EXIT STATUS
137The
138.Nm
139command returns 0 if the test case passes or 1 if the test case fails.
140.Pp
141Additional exit codes may be returned as described in
142.Xr kyua 1 .
