.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBtcltest\fR package provides several utility commands useful
in the construction of test suites for code instrumented to be
run by evaluation of Tcl commands.  Notably the built-in commands
of the Tcl library itself are tested by a test suite using the
tcltest package.
.PP
All the commands provided by the \fBtcltest\fR package are defined
in and exported from the \fB::tcltest\fR namespace, as indicated in
the \fBSYNOPSIS\fR above.  In the following sections, all commands
will be described by their simple names, in the interest of brevity.
.PP
The central command of \fBtcltest\fR is [\fBtest\fR] that defines
and runs a test.  Testing with [\fBtest\fR] involves evaluation
of a Tcl script and comparing the result to an expected result, as
configured and controlled by a number of options.  Several other
commands provided by \fBtcltest\fR govern the configuration of
[\fBtest\fR] and the collection of many [\fBtest\fR] commands into
test suites.
.PP
See \fBCREATING TEST SUITES WITH TCLTEST\fR below for an extended example
of how to use the commands of \fBtcltest\fR to produce test suites
for your Tcl-enabled code.
.SH COMMANDS
.TP
\fBtest\fR \fIname description ?option value ...?\fR
Defines and possibly runs a test with the name \fIname\fR and
description \fIdescription\fR.  The name and description of a test
are used in messages reported by [\fBtest\fR] during the
test, as configured by the options of \fBtcltest\fR.  The
remaining \fIoption value\fR arguments to [\fBtest\fR]
define the test, including the scripts to run, the conditions
under which to run them, the expected result, and the means
by which the expected and actual results should be compared.
See \fBTESTS\fR below for a complete description of the valid
options and how they define a test.  The [\fBtest\fR] command
returns an empty string.  
.TP
\fBtest\fR \fIname description ?constraints? body result\fR
This form of [\fBtest\fR] is provided to support test suites written
for version 1 of the \fBtcltest\fR package, and also a simpler
interface for a common usage.  It is the same as
[\fBtest\fR \fIname description\fB -constraints \fIconstraints\fB -body
\fIbody\fB -result \fIresult\fR].  All other options to [\fBtest\fR]
take their default values.  When \fIconstraints\fR is omitted, this
form of [\fBtest\fR] can be distinguished from the first because
all \fIoption\fRs begin with ``-''.
.TP
\fBloadTestedCommands\fR
Evaluates in the caller's context the script specified by 
[\fBconfigure -load\fR] or [\fBconfigure -loadfile\fR].
Returns the result of that script evaluation, including any error
raised by the script.  Use this command and the related
configuration options to provide the commands to be tested to
the interpreter running the test suite.
.TP
\fBmakeFile\fR \fIcontents name ?directory?\fR
Creates a file named \fIname\fR relative to
directory \fIdirectory\fR and write \fIcontents\fR
to that file using the encoding [\fBencoding system\fR].
If \fIcontents\fR does not end with a newline, a newline
will be appended so that the file named \fIname\fR
does end with a newline.  Because the system encoding is used,
this command is only suitable for making text files.
The file will be removed by the next evaluation
of [\fBcleanupTests\fR], unless it is removed by
[\fBremoveFile\fR] first.  The default value of
\fIdirectory\fR is the directory [\fBconfigure -tmpdir\fR].
Returns the full path of the file created.  Use this command
to create any text file required by a test with contents as needed.
.TP
\fBremoveFile\fR \fIname ?directory?\fR
Forces the file referenced by \fIname\fR to be removed.  This file name
should be relative to \fIdirectory\fR.   The default value of
\fIdirectory\fR is the directory [\fBconfigure -tmpdir\fR].
Returns an empty string.  Use this command to delete files
created by [\fBmakeFile\fR].  
.TP
\fBmakeDirectory\fR \fIname ?directory?\fR
Creates a directory named \fIname\fR relative to directory \fIdirectory\fR.
The directory will be removed by the next evaluation of [\fBcleanupTests\fR],
unless it is removed by [\fBremoveDirectory\fR] first.
The default value of \fIdirectory\fR is the directory
[\fBconfigure -tmpdir\fR].
Returns the full path of the directory created.  Use this command
to create any directories that are required to exist by a test.
.TP
\fBremoveDirectory\fR \fIname ?directory?\fR
Forces the directory referenced by \fIname\fR to be removed. This
directory should be relative to \fIdirectory\fR.
The default value of \fIdirectory\fR is the directory
[\fBconfigure -tmpdir\fR].
Returns an empty string.  Use this command to delete any directories
created by [\fBmakeDirectory\fR].  
.TP
\fBviewFile\fR \fIfile ?directory?\fR
Returns the contents of \fIfile\fR, except for any
final newline, just as [\fBread -nonewline\fR] would return.
This file name should be relative to \fIdirectory\fR.   
The default value of \fIdirectory\fR is the directory
[\fBconfigure -tmpdir\fR].  Use this command
as a convenient way to turn the contents of a file generated
by a test into the result of that test for matching against
an expected result.  The contents of the file are read using
the system encoding, so its usefulness is limited to text
files.
.TP
\fBcleanupTests\fR
Intended to clean up and summarize after several tests have been
run.  Typically called once per test file, at the end of the file
after all tests have been completed.  For best effectiveness, be
sure that the [\fBcleanupTests\fR] is evaluated even if an error
occurs earlier in the test file evaluation.  
.sp
Prints statistics about the tests run and removes files that were
created by [\fBmakeDirectory\fR] and [\fBmakeFile\fR] since the
last [\fBcleanupTests\fR].  Names of files and directories 
in the directory [\fBconfigure -tmpdir\fR] created since
the last [\fBcleanupTests\fR], but not created by
[\fBmakeFile\fR] or [\fBmakeDirectory\fR] are printed
to [\fBoutputChannel\fR].  This command also restores the original
shell environment, as described by the ::env
array. Returns an empty string.
.TP
\fBrunAllTests\fR
This is a master command meant to run an entire suite of tests,
spanning multiple files and/or directories, as governed by
the configurable options of \fBtcltest\fR.  See \fBRUNNING ALL TESTS\fR
below for a complete description of the many variations possible
with [\fBrunAllTests\fR].
.SH "CONFIGURATION COMMANDS"
.TP
\fBconfigure\fR
Returns the list of configurable options supported by \fBtcltest\fR.
See \fBCONFIGURABLE OPTIONS\fR below for the full list of options,
their valid values, and their effect on \fBtcltest\fR operations.
.TP
\fBconfigure \fIoption\fR
Returns the current value of the supported configurable option \fIoption\fR.
Raises an error if \fIoption\fR is not a supported configurable option.
.TP
\fBconfigure \fIoption value ?option value ...?\fR
Sets the value of each configurable option \fIoption\fR to the
corresponding value \fIvalue\fR, in order.  Raises an error if
an \fIoption\fR is not a supported configurable option, or if
\fIvalue\fR is not a valid value for the corresponding \fIoption\fR,
or if a \fIvalue\fR is not provided.  When an error is raised, the
operation of [\fBconfigure\fR] is halted, and subsequent \fIoption value\fR
arguments are not processed.
.sp
If the environment variable \fB::env(TCLTEST_OPTIONS)\fR exists when
the \fBtcltest\fR package is loaded (by [\fBpackage require tcltest\fR])
then its value is taken as a list of arguments to pass to [\fBconfigure\fR].
This allows the default values of the configuration options to be
set by the environment.
.TP
\fBcustomMatch \fImode script\fR
Registers \fImode\fR as a new legal value of the \fB-match\fR option
to [\fBtest\fR].  When the \fB-match \fImode\fR option is
passed to [\fBtest\fR], the script \fIscript\fR will be evaluated
to compare the actual result of evaluating the body of the test
to the expected result.
To perform the match, the \fIscript\fR is completed with two additional
words, the expected result, and the actual result, and the completed script
is evaluated in the global namespace.
The completed script is expected to return a boolean value indicating
whether or not the results match.  The built-in matching modes of
[\fBtest\fR] are \fBexact\fR, \fBglob\fR, and \fBregexp\fR.
.TP
\fBtestConstraint \fIconstraint ?boolean?\fR
Sets or returns the boolean value associated with the named \fIconstraint\fR.
See \fBTEST CONSTRAINTS\fR below for more information.
.TP
\fBinterpreter\fR \fI?executableName?\fR
Sets or returns the name of the executable to be [\fBexec\fR]ed by
[\fBrunAllTests\fR] to run each test file when
[\fBconfigure -singleproc\fR] is false.
The default value for [\fBinterpreter\fR] is the name of the
currently running program as returned by [\fBinfo nameofexecutable\fR].
.TP
\fBoutputChannel\fR \fI?channelID?\fR
Sets or returns the output channel ID.  This defaults to stdout.
Any test that prints test related output should send
that output to [\fBoutputChannel\fR] rather than letting
that output default to stdout.
.TP
\fBerrorChannel\fR \fI?channelID?\fR
Sets or returns the error channel ID.  This defaults to stderr.
Any test that prints error messages should send
that output to [\fBerrorChannel\fR] rather than printing
directly to stderr.

.SH "OTHER COMMANDS"
.PP
The remaining commands provided by \fBtcltest\fR have better
alternatives provided by \fBtcltest\fR or \fBTcl\fR itself.  They
are retained to support existing test suites, but should be avoided
in new code.
.TP
\fBtest\fR \fIname description optionList\fR
This form of [\fBtest\fR] was provided to enable passing many
options spanning several lines to [\fBtest\fR] as a single
argument quoted by braces, rather than needing to backslash quote
the newlines between arguments to [\fBtest\fR].  The \fIoptionList\fR
argument is expected to be a list with an even number of elements
representing \fIoption\fR and \fIvalue\fR arguments to pass
to [\fBtest\fR].  However, these values are not passed directly, as
in the alternate forms of [\fBswitch\fR].  Instead, this form makes
an unfortunate attempt to overthrow Tcl's substitution rules by
performing substitutions on some of the list elements as an attempt to
implement a ``do what I mean'' interpretation of a brace-enclosed
``block''.  The result is nearly impossible to document clearly, and
for that reason this form is not recommended.  See the examples in
\fBCREATING TEST SUITES WITH TCLTEST\fR below to see that this
form is really not necessary to avoid backslash-quoted newlines.
If you insist on using this form, examine
the source code of \fBtcltest\fR if you want to know the substitution
details, or just enclose the third through last argument
to [\fBtest\fR] in braces and hope for the best.
.TP
\fBworkingDirectory\fR \fI?directoryName?\fR
Sets or returns the current working directory when the test suite is
running.  The default value for workingDirectory is the directory in
which the test suite was launched.  The Tcl commands [\fBcd\fR] and
[\fBpwd\fR] are sufficient replacements.
.TP
\fBnormalizeMsg\fR \fImsg\fR
Returns the result of removing the ``extra'' newlines from \fImsg\fR,
where ``extra'' is rather imprecise.  Tcl offers plenty of string
processing commands to modify strings as you wish, and
[\fBcustomMatch\fR] allows flexible matching of actual and expected
results.
.TP
\fBnormalizePath\fR \fIpathVar\fR
Resolves symlinks in a path, thus creating a path without internal
redirection.  It is assumed that \fIpathVar\fR is absolute.
\fIpathVar\fR is modified in place.  The Tcl command [\fBfile normalize\fR]
is a sufficient replacement.
.TP
\fBbytestring\fR \fIstring\fR
Construct a string that consists of the requested sequence of bytes,
as opposed to a string of properly formed UTF-8 characters using the
value supplied in \fIstring\fR.  This allows the tester to create
denormalized or improperly formed strings to pass to C procedures that
are supposed to accept strings with embedded NULL types and confirm
that a string result has a certain pattern of bytes.  This is
exactly equivalent to the Tcl command [\fBencoding convertfrom identity\fR].
.SH TESTS
.PP
The [\fBtest\fR] command is the heart of the \fBtcltest\fR package.
Its essential function is to evaluate a Tcl script and compare
the result with an expected result.  The options of [\fBtest\fR]
define the test script, the environment in which to evaluate it,
the expected result, and how the compare the actual result to
the expected result.  Some configuration options of \fBtcltest\fR
also influence how [\fBtest\fR] operates.
.PP
The valid options for [\fBtest\fR] are summarized:
.CS
.ta 0.8i
test \fIname\fR \fIdescription\fR
	?-constraints \fIkeywordList|expression\fR?
	?-setup \fIsetupScript\fR?
	?-body \fItestScript\fR?
	?-cleanup \fIcleanupScript\fR?
	?-result \fIexpectedAnswer\fR?
	?-output \fIexpectedOutput\fR?
	?-errorOutput \fIexpectedError\fR?
	?-returnCodes \fIcodeList\fR?
	?-match \fImode\fR?
.CE
The \fIname\fR may be any string.  It is conventional to choose
a \fIname\fR according to the pattern:
.CS
\fItarget\fR-\fImajorNum\fR.\fIminorNum\fR
.CE
For white-box (regression) tests, the target should be the name of the
C function or Tcl procedure being tested.  For black-box tests, the
target should be the name of the feature being tested.  Some conventions
call for the names of black-box tests to have the suffix \fB_bb\fR.
Related tests should share a major number.  As a test suite evolves,
it is best to have the same test name continue to correspond to the
same test, so that it remains meaningful to say things like ``Test
foo-1.3 passed in all releases up to 3.4, but began failing in
release 3.5.''
.PP
During evaluation of [\fBtest\fR], the \fIname\fR will be compared
to the lists of string matching patterns returned by
[\fBconfigure -match\fR], and [\fBconfigure -skip\fR].  The test
will be run only if \fIname\fR matches any of the patterns from
[\fBconfigure -match\fR] and matches none of the patterns
from [\fBconfigure -skip\fR].
.PP
The \fIdescription\fR should be a short textual description of the
test.  The \fIdescription\fR is included in output produced by the
test, typically test failure messages.  Good \fIdescription\fR values
should briefly explain the purpose of the test to users of a test suite.
The name of a Tcl or C function being tested should be included in the
description for regression tests.  If the test case exists to reproduce
a bug, include the bug ID in the description. 
.PP
Valid attributes and associated values are:
.TP
\fB-constraints \fIkeywordList|expression\fR
The optional \fB-constraints\fR attribute can be list of one or more
keywords or an expression.  If the \fB-constraints\fR value is a list of
keywords, each of these keywords should be the name of a constraint
defined by a call to [\fBtestConstraint\fR].  If any of the listed
constraints is false or does not exist, the test is skipped.  If the
\fB-constraints\fR value is an expression, that expression
is evaluated. If the expression evaluates to true, then the test is run.
Note that the expression form of \fB-constraints\fR may interfere with the
operation of [\fBconfigure -constraints\fR] and
[\fBconfigure -limitconstraints\fR], and is not recommended.
Appropriate constraints should be added to any tests that should
not always be run.  That is, conditional evaluation of a test
should be accomplished by the \fB-constraints\fR option, not by
conditional evaluation of [\fBtest\fR].  In that way, the same
number of tests are always reported by the test suite, though
the number skipped may change based on the testing environment.
The default value is an empty list.  
See \fBTEST CONSTRAINTS\fR below for a list of built-in constraints 
and information on how to add your own constraints.
.TP
\fB-setup \fIscript\fR
The optional \fB-setup\fR attribute indicates a \fIscript\fR that will be run
before the script indicated by the \fB-body\fR attribute.  If evaluation
of \fIscript\fR raises an error, the test will fail.  The default value
is an empty script.
.TP
\fB-body \fIscript\fR
The \fB-body\fR attribute indicates the \fIscript\fR to run to carry out the 
test.  It must return a result that can be checked for correctness.
If evaluation of \fIscript\fR raises an error, the test will fail.
The default value is an empty script.
.TP
\fB-cleanup \fIscript\fR
The optional \fB-cleanup\fR attribute indicates a \fIscript\fR that will be
run after the script indicated by the \fB-body\fR attribute.
If evaluation of \fIscript\fR raises an error, the test will fail.
The default value is an empty script.
.TP
\fB-match \fImode\fR
The \fB-match\fR attribute determines how expected answers supplied by
\fB-result\fR, \fB-output\fR, and \fB-errorOutput\fR are compared.  Valid
values for \fImode\fR are \fBregexp\fR, \fBglob\fR, \fBexact\fR, and
any value registered by a prior call to [\fBcustomMatch\fR].  The default
value is \fBexact\fR.
.TP
\fB-result \fIexpectedValue\fR
The \fB-result\fR attribute supplies the \fIexpectedValue\fR against which
the return value from script will be compared. The default value is
an empty string.
.TP
\fB-output \fIexpectedValue\fR
The \fB-output\fR attribute supplies the \fIexpectedValue\fR against which
any output sent to \fBstdout\fR or [\fBoutputChannel\fR] during evaluation
of the script(s) will be compared.  Note that only output printed using
[\fB::puts\fR] is used for comparison.  If \fB-output\fR is not specified,
output sent to \fBstdout\fR and [\fBoutputChannel\fR] is not processed for
comparison.
.TP
\fB-errorOutput \fIexpectedValue\fR
The \fB-errorOutput\fR attribute supplies the \fIexpectedValue\fR against
