.TH testcurl.pl 1 "24 Mar 2010" "Curl 7.20.1" "testcurl"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
testcurl.pl \- (automatically) test curl
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B testcurl.pl [options] [dir] > output
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fItestcurl.pl\fP is the master script to use for automatic testing of curl
|
|
off git or daily snapshots. It is written for the purpose of being run from a
|
|
crontab job or similar at a regular interval. The output is suitable to be
|
|
mailed to curl-autocompile@haxx.se to be dealt with automatically (make sure
|
|
the subject includes the word "autobuild" as the mail gets silently discarded
|
|
otherwise). The most current build status (with a reasonable backlog) will be
|
|
published on the curl site, at http://curl.haxx.se/auto/
|
|
|
|
\fIoptions\fP may be omitted. See \fI--setup\fP for what happens then.
|
|
|
|
\fIdir\fP is a curl source dir, possibly a daily snapshot one. Using this will
|
|
make testcurl.pl skip the 'buildconf' stage and thus it removes the dependency
|
|
on automake, autoconf, libtool, GNU m4 and possibly a few other things.
|
|
|
|
testcurl.pl will run 'buildconf' (or similar), run configure, build curl and
|
|
libcurl in a separate build directory and then run 'make test' to test the
|
|
fresh build.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.IP "--configure=[options]"
|
|
Configure options passed to configure.
|
|
.IP "--crosscompile"
|
|
This is a cross-compile. Makes \fItestcurl.pl\fP skip a few things.
|
|
.IP "--desc=[desc]"
|
|
Description of your test system. Displayed on the build summary page on the
|
|
weba site.
|
|
.IP "--email=[email]"
|
|
Set email address to report as. Displayed in the build logs on the site.
|
|
.IP "--mktarball=[command]"
|
|
Generic command to run after completed test.
|
|
.IP "--name=[name]"
|
|
Set name to report as. Displayed in the build summary on the site.
|
|
.IP "--nobuildconf"
|
|
Don't run buildconf. Useful when many builds use the same source tree, as then
|
|
only one need to do this. Also, if multiple processes run tests simultaneously
|
|
on the same source tree (like several hosts on a NFS mounted dir),
|
|
simultaneous buildconf invokes may cause problems. (Added in 7.14.1)
|
|
.IP "--nogitpull"
|
|
Don't update from git even though it is a git tree. Useful to still be able to
|
|
test even though your network is down, or similar.
|
|
.IP "--runtestopts=[options]"
|
|
Options that is passed to the runtests.pl script. Useful for disabling valgrind
|
|
by force, and similar.
|
|
.IP "--setup=[file name]"
|
|
File name to read setup from (deprecated). The old style of providing info.
|
|
If info is missing when testcurl.pl is started, it will prompt you and then
|
|
store the info in a 'setup' file, which it will look for on each invoke. Use
|
|
\fI--name\fP, \fI--email\fP, \fI--configure\fP and \fI--desc\fP instead.
|
|
.IP "--target=[your os]"
|
|
Specify your target environment. Recognized strings include 'vc', 'mingw32',
|
|
\&'borland' and 'netware'.
|
|
.SH "INITIAL SETUP"
|
|
First you make a checkout from git (or you write a script that downloads daily
|
|
snapshots automatically, find inspiration at
|
|
http://curl.haxx.se/auto/autocurl.txt):
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
$ mkdir daily-curl
|
|
$ cd daily-curl
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/bagder/curl.git
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
With the curl sources checked out, or downloaded, you can start testing right
|
|
away. If you want to use \fItestcurl.pl\fP without command line arguments and
|
|
to have it store and remember the config in its 'setup' file, then start it
|
|
manually now and fill in the answers to the questions it prompts you for:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
$ ./curl/tests/testcurl.pl
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
Now you are ready to go. If you let the script run, it will perform a full
|
|
cycle and spit out lots of output. Mail us that output as described above.
|
|
.SH "CRONTAB EXAMPLE"
|
|
The crontab could include something like this:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
\# autobuild curl:
|
|
0 4 * * * cd daily-curl && ./testit.sh
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
Where testit.sh is a shell script that could look similar to this:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
mail="mail -s autobuild curl-autocompile@haxx.se"
|
|
name="--name=whoami"
|
|
email="--email=iamme@nowhere"
|
|
desc='"--desc=supermachine Turbo 2000"'
|
|
testprog="perl ./curl/tests/testcurl.pl $name $email $desc"
|
|
opts1="--configure=--enable-debug"
|
|
opts2="--configure=--enable-ipv6"
|
|
|
|
# run first test
|
|
$testprog $opts1 | $mail
|
|
|
|
# run second test
|
|
$testprog $opts2 | $mail
|
