feat: allow tests to be run in other places than /tmp
Description/Motivation/Screenshots
Today I tested
GEF
on a non-rooted Android device and had to manually make quite some changes to have the tests run because I didn't have access to thetmp/
filesystem.This PR allows changing the defaults for
TMPDIR
(where the binaries are compiled to and used for the tests and wheretrace-run
saves the traces while testing) by setting an environment variable for easier testing in different environments.Changes:
TMPDIR
by using an environment variable of the same name instead of having hard coded paths for testing (default is still/tmp
as before).gef.py
toTMPDIR
but leave it in-place for testing (because there doesn't seem to be a need to copy it over)GEF_PATH
by using an environment variable to use quickly switch between differentgef.py
versions without VCS (useful for automated testing of differentGEF
versions).PHONY
nowTMPDIR
if it doesn't existtest
target inMakefile
so e.g. the binaries don't need to be rebuild between every test run (instead introduce separateclean
target).make TestGefCommandsUnit
(capitalized)make test_cmd_elf_info
(specifically that one test) ormake test_cmd_heap_
(every test starting with "test_cmd_heap")EDIT:
DEBUG
environment variable:DEBUG=1 make test
get_shellcode()
now saves the downloaded shellcode togef.tempdir
instead of a hardcoded/tmp
How Has This Been Tested?
make test
