- Examples + User specific configuration data formats + +

It is possible for the user to specify configuration data on a + different format than key-value tuples in a text file, as described + so far. The data can e.g. be read from arbitrary files, fetched from + the web over http, or requested from a user specific process. + To support this, Common Test provides a callback module plugin + mechanism to handle configuration data.

+ +
+ Default callback modules for handling configuration data +

The Common Test application includes default callback modules + for handling configuration data specified in standard config files + (see above) and in xml files:

+ + + ct_config_plain - for reading configuration files with + key-value tuples (standard format). This handler will be used to + parse configuration files if no user callback is specified. + + + ct_config_xml - for reading configuration data from XML + files. + + +
+ +
+ Using XML configuration files +

This is an example of an XML configuration file:

+ 

+    
+        "targethost"
+        "tester"
+        "letmein"
+    
+    "/test/loadmodules"
+]]>
+ +

This configuration file, once read, will produce the same configuration + variables as the following text file:

+ 
+{ftp_host, [{ftp,"targethost"},
+            {username,"tester"},
+            {password,"letmein"}]}.
+
+{lm_directory, "/test/loadmodules"}.
+
+ +
+ How to implement a user specific handler + +

The user specific handler can be written to handle special + configuration file formats. The parameter can be either file + name(s) or configuration string(s) (the empty list is valid).

+ +

The callback module implementing the handler is responsible for + checking correctness of configuration strings.

+ +

To perform validation of the configuration strings, the callback module + should have the following function exported:

+ +

Callback:check_parameter/1

+

The input argument will be passed from Common Test, as defined in the test + specification or given as an option to run_test.

+ +

The return value should be any of the following values indicating if given + configuration parameter is valid:

+ Automatic startup of test target nodes + +

Is is possible to automatically start, and perform initial actions, on + test target nodes by using the test specification term init.

Currently, two sub-terms are supported, node_start and eval.

Example:

+ 
+     {node, node1, node1@host1}.

+     {node, node3, node2@host2}.

+     {init, node4, {eval, {module, function, []}}}.
+ +

This test specification declares that node1@host1 is to be started using + the user callback function callback_module:my_slave_callback/0, and nodes + node1@host2 and node2@host2 will be started with the default callback + module ct_slave. The given user name and password is used to log into remote + host host2. Also, the function module:function/0 will be evaluated on + node1@host3, and the result of this call will be printed to the log.

(Configurable). + + Execution of user functions after a slave node is started. + Functions can be given as a list of {Module, Function, Arguments} tuples. + + +

+

Note that it is possible to specify an eval term for the node as well + as startup_functions in the node_start options list. In this + case first the node will be started, then the startup_functions are + executed, and finally functions specified with eval are called. +

If you do not use Cygwin, you have to rely on the API functions - in the ct module (instead of run_test) for running - Common Test as described initially in this chapter.

With the optional flag:

it's possible to divide the options on the run_test command line into + two groups, one that Common Test should process (those preceding -erl_args), + and one it should completely ignore and pass on directly to the emulator + (those following -erl_args). Options preceding -erl_args that Common Test + doesn't recognize, also get passed on to the emulator untouched. + By means of -erl_args the user may specify flags with the same name, but + with different destinations, on the run_test command line.

+

If -pa or -pz flags are specified in the Common Test group of options + (preceding -erl_args), relative directories will be converted to + absolute and re-inserted into the code path by Common Test (to avoid + problems loading user modules when Common Test changes working directory + during test runs). Common Test will however ignore -pa and -pz flags + following -erl_args on the command line. These directories are added + to the code path normally (i.e. on specified form)

It is also possible to set/reset a timetrap during test case (or

Timetrap values can be extended with a multiplier value specified at

+      to let Test Server decide to scale up timetrap timeout values
+      automatically, e.g. if tools such as cover or trace are running during
+      the test. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled with
+      the scale_timetraps start option.

+    
If a test case needs to suspend itself for a time that also gets
+      multipled by multiply_timetraps, and possibly scaled up if
+      scale_timetraps is enabled, the function ct:sleep/1
+      may be called.

+%%% @doc Starts an Erlang node with name Node on host
+%%% Host as specified by the combination of options in

+%%%
+%%% 
Options Username and Password will be used
+%%% to log in onto the remote host Host.
+%%% Username, if omitted, defaults to the current user name,
+%%% and password is empty by default.

+%%%
+%%% 
A list of functions specified in the Startup option will be
+%%% executed after startup of the node. Note that all used modules should be
+%%% present in the code path on the Host.

+%%%
+%%% 
The timeouts are applied as follows:
+%%% 
+%%%  
+%%%   BootTimeout - time to start the Erlang node, in seconds.
+%%%   Defaults to 3 seconds. If node does not become pingable within this time,
+%%%   the result {error, boot_timeout, NodeName} is returned;
+%%%  
+%%%  
+%%%   InitTimeout - time to wait for the node until it calls the
+%%%    internal callback function informing master about successfull startup.
+%%%    Defaults to one second.
+%%%    In case of timed out message the result
+%%%    {error, init_timeout, NodeName} is returned;
+%%%  
+%%%  
+%%%   StartupTimeout - time to wait intil the node finishes to run
+%%%    the StartupFunctions. Defaults to one second.
+%%%    If this timeout occurs, the result
+%%%    {error, startup_timeout, NodeName} is returned.
+%%%  
+%%% 

+%%%
+%%% 
Option monitor_master specifies, if the slave node should be
+%%% stopped in case of master node stop. Defaults to false.

+%%%
+%%% 
Option kill_if_fail specifies, if the slave node should be
+%%% killed in case of a timeout during initialization or startup.
+%%% Defaults to true. Note that node also may be still alive it the boot
+%%% timeout occurred, but it will not be killed in this case.

+%%%
+%%% 
Option erlang_flags specifies, which flags will be added
+%%% to the parameters of the erl executable.

+%%%
+%%% 
Special return values are:
+%%% 
+%%%  {error, already_started, NodeName} - if the node with
+%%%   the given name is already started on a given host;
+%%%  {error, started_not_connected, NodeName} - if node is
+%%%  started, but not connected to the master node.
+%%%  {error, not_alive, NodeName} - if node on which the
+%%%   ct_slave:start/3 is called, is not alive. Note that
+%%%   NodeName is the name of current node in this case.
