The lxc/src/tests/ directory generally has contained tests which helped me to write new features. They are at the same time too detailed and too quickly written to be very maintainable. I've also had a separate testsuite at lp:~serge-hallyn/+junk/lxc-test, which contained more ubuntu-specific (and generally more macro-) tests.
I'm going to work toward a more sane and more complete test layout. Ideally all tests would be in the git tree, and run on a 'make check-all', to prevent tests going stale and try to minimize regressions slipping by under the radar. Here's what I'm thinking: 1. API tests - much of this is in src/tests now, but I'd like to consolidate them quite a bit. These should be run more easily with a 'make check' rule. I intend to add this (and fix the fallout from all the tests which have recently broken). The tests need to be run with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to lxc/src/lxc and liblxc.so.1 symlinked to liblxc.so. We probably want to put these under src/tests/microtests/ or somesuch. 2. distro-specific tests. This would test things like network setups, LSM configuration, and (for now) container autostart. This could be a per-distro dir under src/tests/$distro/, and executed by 'make check-distro' calling src/tests/lxc-test-distro-test (which detects current distro and runs the appropriate test). 3. template tests. Given the direction we recently set - that we want all templates to be runnable under all distros - I believe we should run every template in turn. This could sit under src/tests/templates/ and started by 'make check-templates' which calls src/tests/lxc-test-templates. 4. bindings tests. Under src/tests/bindings/$binding (lua, go, python3) and executed by 'make check-bindings'. Feedback welcome. While I wait for that I intend to start on cleaning up and consolidating the existing testcases (basically start on (1)). -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
