I've been working with this, with a very simplistic set-up of running
multiple shell scripts. There are things that you know beforehand (if
you know the gory details of pbuilder as it is documented).
1. your source code is available in /tmp/buildd/package-version/,
which you can probably match with the wildcard '/tmp/buildd/*/debian/../'
2. your testsuite resides in /tmp/buildd/*/debian/pbuilder-testsuite/*,
which will be executed with run-parts.
3. previous version of your package will be installed by B92test-pkg
by default, from your default apt sources, and if it fails, test won't progress.
4. within the chroot, B92test-pkg by default does the following:
your previous version is installed from apt sources
your previous version is removed
your new package is installed with dpkg -i
this sequence should be improved, and should probably allow failures
Things that I really want to have after testing a few packages.
1. support for common operations, maybe a shell library is in order?
For example, I usually want to compile/link/execute a test code to
test a -dev package. That requires some amount of idiom in plain
shell code, and I shouldn't have to copy-and-paste code all over
the place.
2. support for providing source data. Most applications eat data and
output data. I really want some way to provide data and to say
what's the expected output.
3. support for X. Some of my packages are command-line console tools,
but many are actually graphical apps. It would be a plus to have
some kind of interactive/noninteractive X-based testing.
