Integration Test Framework Refernce

TestLib

A module for the framework. Provides global data and functionality. For ease of use the utility classes are not in this module.

Provides:

• TMP_DIR - the temporary directory for the current test run
• CPM_PATH - path to CPM.cmake. The thing that is being tested
• TEMPLATES_DIR - path to integration test templates
• CPM_ENV - an array of the names of all environment variables, which CPM.cmake may read
• .clear_env - a function to clear all aforementioned environment variables

Project

A helper class to manage a CMake project.

Provides:

• #initialize(src_dir, bin_dir) - create a project with a given source and binary directory
• #src_dir, #bin_dir - get project directories
• #create_file(target_path, text, args = {}) - create a file in the project's source directory with a given test. The args hash is used to interpolate markup in the text string.
  • Will set :cpm_path in args to TestLib::CPM_PATH if not already present.
  • If :package is present it will be added to the array :packages
  • Will convert :packages form an array to a string
• #create_file_from_template(target_path, source_path, args = {}) - create a file in the project source directory, based on another file in the project source directory. The contents of the file at source_path will be read and used in create_file
• #create_lists_from_default_template(args = {}) - same as create_file_from_template('CMakeLists.txt', 'lists.in.cmake', args)
• ::CommandResult - a struct of:
  • out - the standard output from a command execution
  • err - the standard error output from the execution
  • status - the Process::Status of the execution
• #configure(extra_args = '') => CommandResult - configure the project with optional extra args to CMake
• #build(extra_args = '') => CommandResult - build the project with optional extra args to CMake
• ::CMakeCache - a helper class with the contents of a CMakeCache.txt. Provides:
  • ::Entry - a CMake cache entry of:
    • val - the value as string
    • type - the type as string
    • advanced? - whether the entry is an advanced option
    • desc - the description of the entry (can be an empty string)
  • ::Package - the CMake cache for a CPM.cmake package. A struct of:
    • ver - the version as string
    • src_dir, bin_dir - the source and binary directories of the package
  • .from_dir(dir) - create an instance of CMakeCache from <dir>/CMakeLists.txt
  • #initialize(entries) - create a cache from a hash of entries by name. Will populate packages.
  • #entries => {String => Entry} - the entries of the cache
  • #packages => {String => Package} - CPM.cmake packages by name found in the cache
  • #[](key) => String - an entry value from an entry name. Created because the value is expected to be needed much more frequently than the entire entry data. To get a full entry use cache.entries['name'].
• read_cache => CMakeCache - reads the CMake cache in the binary directory of the project and returns it as a CMakeCache instance

IntegrationTest

The class which must be a parent of all integration test case classes. It itself extends Test::Unit::TestCase with:

Assertions

• assert_success(res) - assert that an instance of Project::CommandResult is a success
• assert_same_path(a, b) - assert that two strings represent the same path. For example on Windows c:\foo and C:\Foo do.

Utils

• cur_test_dir - the directory of the current test case. A subdirectory of TestLib::TMP_DIR
• make_project(template_dir = nil) - create a project from a test method. Will create a the project's source and binary directories as subdirectories of cur_test_dir.
  • Optionally work with a template directory, in which case it will copy the contents of the template directory (one from templates) in the project's source directory.
