251.Ed
252.Ss Definition of test cases
253Test cases have an identifier and are composed of three different parts:
254the header, the body and an optional cleanup routine, all of which are
255described in
256.Xr atf-test-case 4 .
257To define test cases, one can use the
258.Fn ATF_TC ,
259.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP
260or the
261.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
262macros, which take a single parameter specifying the test case's name.
263.Fn ATF_TC ,
264requires to define a head and a body for the test case,
265.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP
266requires to define a head, a body and a cleanup for the test case and
267.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
268requires only a body for the test case.
269It is important to note that these
270.Em do not
271set the test case up for execution when the program is run.
272In order to do so, a later registration is needed with the
273.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TC
274macro detailed in
275.Sx Program initialization .
276.Pp
277Later on, one must define the three parts of the body by means of three
278functions.
279Their headers are given by the
280.Fn ATF_TC_HEAD ,
281.Fn ATF_TC_BODY
282and
283.Fn ATF_TC_CLEANUP
284macros, all of which take the test case name provided to the
285.Fn ATF_TC
286.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP ,
287or
288.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
289macros and the name of the variable that will hold a pointer to the
290test case data.
291Following each of these, a block of code is expected, surrounded by the
292opening and closing brackets.
293.Ss Program initialization
294The library provides a way to easily define the test program's
295.Fn main
296function.
297You should never define one on your own, but rely on the
298library to do it for you.
299This is done by using the
300.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TCS
301macro, which is passed the name of the object that will hold the test
302cases, i.e., the test program instance.
303This name can be whatever you want as long as it is a valid variable
304identifier.
305.Pp
306After the macro, you are supposed to provide the body of a function, which
307should only use the
308.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TC
309macro to register the test cases the test program will execute and return
310a success error code.
311The first parameter of this macro matches the name you provided in the
312former call.
313The success status can be returned using the
314.Fn atf_no_error
315function.
316.Ss Header definitions
317The test case's header can define the meta-data by using the
318.Fn atf_tc_set_md_var
319method, which takes three parameters: the first one points to the test
320case data, the second one specifies the meta-data variable to be set
321and the third one specifies its value.
322Both of them are strings.
323.Ss Configuration variables
324The test case has read-only access to the current configuration variables
325by means of the
326.Ft bool
327.Fn atf_tc_has_config_var ,
328.Ft const char *
329.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var ,
330.Ft const char *
331.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_wd ,
332.Ft bool
333.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_bool ,
334.Ft bool
335.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_bool_wd ,
336.Ft long
337.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_long ,
338and the
339.Ft long
340.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_long_wd
341functions, which can be called in any of the three parts of a test case.
342.Pp
343The
344.Sq _wd
345variants take a default value for the variable which is returned if the
346variable is not defined.
347The other functions without the
348.Sq _wd
349suffix
350.Em require
351the variable to be defined.
352.Ss Access to the source directory
353It is possible to get the path to the test case's source directory from any
354of its three components by querying the
355.Sq srcdir
356configuration variable.
357.Ss Requiring programs
358Aside from the
359.Va require.progs
360meta-data variable available in the header only, one can also check for
361additional programs in the test case's body by using the
362.Fn atf_tc_require_prog
363function, which takes the base name or full path of a single binary.
364Relative paths are forbidden.
365If it is not found, the test case will be automatically skipped.
366.Ss Test case finalization
367The test case finalizes either when the body reaches its end, at which
368point the test is assumed to have
369.Em passed ,
370unless any non-fatal errors were raised using
371.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal ,
372or at any explicit call to
373.Fn atf_tc_pass ,
374.Fn atf_tc_fail
375or
376.Fn atf_tc_skip .
377These three functions terminate the execution of the test case immediately.
378The cleanup routine will be processed afterwards in a completely automated
379way, regardless of the test case's termination reason.
380.Pp
381.Fn atf_tc_pass
382does not take any parameters.
383.Fn atf_tc_fail ,
384.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal
385and
386.Fn atf_tc_skip
387take a format string and a variable list of parameters, which describe, in
388a user-friendly manner, why the test case failed or was skipped,
389respectively.
390It is very important to provide a clear error message in both cases so that
391the user can quickly know why the test did not pass.
392.Ss Expectations
393Everything explained in the previous section changes when the test case
394expectations are redefined by the programmer.
395.Pp
396Each test case has an internal state called
397.Sq expect
398that describes what the test case expectations are at any point in time.
399The value of this property can change during execution by any of:
400.Bl -tag -width indent
401.It Fn atf_tc_expect_death "reason" "..."
402Expects the test case to exit prematurely regardless of the nature of the
403exit.
404.It Fn atf_tc_expect_exit "exitcode" "reason" "..."
405Expects the test case to exit cleanly.
406If
407.Va exitcode
408is not
409.Sq -1 ,
410the runtime engine will validate that the exit code of the test case
411matches the one provided in this call.
412Otherwise, the exact value will be ignored.
413.It Fn atf_tc_expect_fail "reason" "..."
414Any failure (be it fatal or non-fatal) raised in this mode is recorded.
415However, such failures do not report the test case as failed; instead, the
416test case finalizes cleanly and is reported as
417.Sq expected failure ;
418this report includes the provided
419.Fa reason
420as part of it.
421If no error is raised while running in this mode, then the test case is
422reported as
423.Sq failed .
424.Pp
425This mode is useful to reproduce actual known bugs in tests.
426Whenever the developer fixes the bug later on, the test case will start
427reporting a failure, signaling the developer that the test case must be
428adjusted to the new conditions.
429In this situation, it is useful, for example, to set
430.Fa reason
431as the bug number for tracking purposes.
432.It Fn atf_tc_expect_pass
433This is the normal mode of execution.
434In this mode, any failure is reported as such to the user and the test case
435is marked as
436.Sq failed .
437.It Fn atf_tc_expect_signal "signo" "reason" "..."
438Expects the test case to terminate due to the reception of a signal.
439If
440.Va signo
441is not
442.Sq -1 ,
443the runtime engine will validate that the signal that terminated the test
444case matches the one provided in this call.
445Otherwise, the exact value will be ignored.
446.It Fn atf_tc_expect_timeout "reason" "..."
447Expects the test case to execute for longer than its timeout.
448.El
449.Ss Helper macros for common checks
450The library provides several macros that are very handy in multiple
451situations.
452These basically check some condition after executing a given statement or
453processing a given expression and, if the condition is not met, they
454report the test case as failed.
455.Pp
456The
457.Sq REQUIRE
458variant of the macros immediately abort the test case as soon as an error
459condition is detected by calling the
460.Fn atf_tc_fail
461function.
462Use this variant whenever it makes no sense to continue the execution of a
463test case when the checked condition is not met.
464The
465.Sq CHECK
466variant, on the other hand, reports a failure as soon as it is encountered
467using the
468.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal
469function, but the execution of the test case continues as if nothing had
470happened.
471Use this variant whenever the checked condition is important as a result of
472the test case, but there are other conditions that can be subsequently
473checked on the same run without aborting.
474.Pp
475Additionally, the
476.Sq MSG
477variants take an extra set of parameters to explicitly specify the failure
478message.
479This failure message is formatted according to the
480.Xr printf 3
481formatters.
482.Pp
483.Fn ATF_CHECK ,
484.Fn ATF_CHECK_MSG ,
485.Fn ATF_REQUIRE
486and
487.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_MSG
488take an expression and fail if the expression evaluates to false.
489.Pp
490.Fn ATF_CHECK_EQ ,
491.Fn ATF_CHECK_EQ_MSG ,
492.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_EQ
493and
494.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_EQ_MSG
495take two expressions and fail if the two evaluated values are not equal.
496The common style is to put the expected value in the first parameter and the
497actual value in the second parameter.
498.Pp
499.Fn ATF_CHECK_MATCH ,
500.Fn ATF_CHECK_MATCH_MSG ,
501.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH
502and
503.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH_MSG
504take a regular expression and a string and fail if the regular expression does
505not match the given string.
506Note that the regular expression is not anchored, so it will match anywhere in
507the string.
508.Pp
509.Fn ATF_CHECK_STREQ ,
510.Fn ATF_CHECK_STREQ_MSG ,
511.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_STREQ
512and
513.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_STREQ_MSG
514take two strings and fail if the two are not equal character by character.
515The common style is to put the expected string in the first parameter and the
516actual string in the second parameter.
517.Pp
518.Fn ATF_CHECK_ERRNO
519and
520.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_ERRNO
521take, first, the error code that the check is expecting to find in the
522.Va errno
523variable and, second, a boolean expression that, if evaluates to true,
524means that a call failed and
525.Va errno
526has to be checked against the first value.
527.Ss Utility functions
528The following functions are provided as part of the
529.Nm
530API to simplify the creation of a variety of tests.
531In particular, these are useful to write tests for command-line interfaces.
