README -- Tcl test suite design document.

1. Introduction
2. Incompatibilities with prior Tcl versions
1. Introduction:
----------------
This directory contains a set of validation tests for the Tcl commands
and C Library procedures for Tcl. Each of the files whose name ends
in ".test" is intended to fully exercise the functions in the C source
file that corresponds to the file prefix. The C functions and/or Tcl
commands tested by a given file are listed in the first line of the
file.
You can run the tests in three ways:
(a) type "make test" in ../unix; this will run all of the tests.
(b) type "tcltest <testFile> ?<option> <value>?
Command line options include:
-verbose <level> set the level of verbosity to a substring
of "bps". See the "Test output" section
for an explanation of this option.
-match <matchList> only run tests that match one or more of
the glob patterns in <matchList>
-skip <skipList> do not run tests that match one or more
of the glob patterns in <skipList>
-file <globPattern> only source test files that match
<globPattern> (relative to the "tests"
directory). This option only applies
when you run the test suite with the
"all.tcl" file.
-constraints <list> tests with any constraints in <list> will
not be skipped. Not that elements of
<list> must exactly match the existing
constraints.
(c) start up tcltest in this directory, then "source" the test
file (for example, type "source parse.test"). To run all
of the tests, type "source all.tcl". To use the options in
interactive mode, you can set their corresponding tcltest
namespace variables after sourcing the defs.tcl file.
::tcltest::match
::tcltest::skip
::tcltest::testConfig(nonPortable)
::tcltest::testConfig(knownBug)
::tcltest::testConfig(userInteractive)
Please see the tcltest man page for more information regarding how to
write and run tests.
Please note that the all.tcl file will source your new test file if
the filename matches the tests/*.test pattern (as it should). The
names of test files that contain regression (or glass-box) tests
should correspond to the Tcl or C code file that they are testing.
For example, the test file for the C file "tclCmdAH.c" is
"cmdAH.test". Test files that contain black-box tests may not
correspond to any Tcl or C code file so they should match the pattern
"*_bb.test".
Be sure your new test file can be run from any working directory.
Be sure no temporary files are left behind by your test file.
Be sure your tests can run cross-platform in both a build environment
as well as an installation environment. If your test file contains
tests that should not be run in one or more of those cases, please use
the constraints mechanism to skip those tests.
2. Incompatibilities with prior Tcl versions:
---------------------------------------------
1) Global variables such as VERBOSE, TESTS, and testConfig are now
renamed to use the new "tcltest" namespace.
old name new name
-------- --------
VERBOSE ::tcltest::verbose
TESTS ::tcltest::match
testConfig ::tcltest::testConfig
The introduction of the "tcltest" namespace is a precursor to using
a "tcltest" package. This next step will be part of a future Tcl
version.
2) VERBOSE values are no longer numeric. Please see the section above
on "Test output" for the new usage of the ::tcltest::verbose variable.
3) When you run "make test", the working dir for the test suite is now
the one from which you called "make test", rather than the "tests"
directory. This change allows for both unix and windows test
suites to be run simultaneously without interference with each
other or with existing files. All tests must now run independently
of their working directory.
4) The "all" and "visual" files are now called "all.tcl" ane
"visual_bb.test".
5) The "defs" file no longer exists.
6) Instead of creating a doAllTests file in the tests directory, to
run all nonPortable tests, just use the "-constraints nonPortable"
command line flag. If you are running interactively, you can set
the ::tcltest::testConfig(nonPortable) variable to 1 (after
sourcing the defs.tcl file).
