Tmain is introduced to test the area where Units does not cover well.
Units works fine for testing parsers. However, it assumes something input is given to ctags command, and a tags file is generated from ctags command.
Other aspects cannot be tested. Such areas are files and directories layout after installation, standard error output, exit status, etc.
You can run test cases with following command line:
$ make tmain
Tmain is still under development so I will not write the details here.
To write a test case, see files under Tmain/tmain-example.d. In the example, Tmain does:
- runs new subshell and change the working directory to Tmain/tmain-example.d,
- runs run.sh with bash,
- captures stdout, stderr and exit status, and
- compares them with stdout-expected.txt, stderr-expected.txt, and exit-expected.txt.
- compares it with tags-expected.txt if run.sh generates tags file.
See also tmain_run and tmain_compare functions in misc/units.
If run.sh exits with code 77, the test case is skipped.
- Run under travis
