Various helpers for more advanced config files.

.Helpers
[width="80%",cols="^,2m,2m,2m",frame="topbot",options="header"]
|======================
|Helper                      | Purpose                       | Valid values            | Comments

|======================

Config File Settings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Settings in megatest.config

Config File Additional Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Including output from a script as if it was inline to the config file:

-------------------------
[scriptinc myscript.sh]
-------------------------

If the script outputs:

-------------------------
[items]
A a b c
B d e f
-------------------------

Then the config file would effectively appear to contain an items section
exactly like the output from the script. This is useful when dynamically
creating items, itemstables and other config structures. You can see the
expansion of the call by looking in the cached files (look in your linktree
for megatest.config and runconfigs.config cache files and in your test run
areas for the expanded and cached testconfig).

Wildcards and regexes in Targets

-------------------------
[a/2/b]
VAR1 VAL1

[a/%/b]
VAR1 VAL2
-------------------------

Will result in:

-------------------------
[a/2/b]
VAR1 VAL2
-------------------------

Can use either wildcard of "%" or a regular expression:

-------------------------
[/abc.*def/]
-------------------------

Disk Space Checks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some parameters you can put in the [setup] section of megatest.config:

-------------------
# minimum space required in a run disk 
minspace 10000000

# minimum space required in dbdir:
dbdir-space-required 100000

# script that takes path as parameter and returns number of bytes available:
free-space-script check-space.sh
-------------------

Trim trailing spaces
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTE: As of Megatest version v1.6548 trim-trailing-spaces defaults to yes.

------------------
[configf:settings trim-trailing-spaces no]
#                 |<== next line padded with spaces to here
DEFAULT_INDENT
[configf:settings trim-trailing-spaces no]
------------------

The variable DEFAULT_INDENT would be a string of 3 spaces

Job Submission Control
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Submit jobs to Host Types based on Test Name
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.In megatest.config
------------------------
[host-types]
general   nbfake
remote    bsub

[launchers]
runfirst/sum% remote
% general

[jobtools]
launcher bsub
# if defined and not "no" flexi-launcher will bypass launcher unless 
# there is no host-type match.
flexi-launcher yes
------------------------

host-types
++++++++++

List of host types and the commandline to run a job on that host type.

.host-type => launch command
------------
general nbfake
------------

launchers
+++++++++

.test/itempath => host-type
------------
runfirst/sum% remote
------------

Miscellaneous Setup Items
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Attempt to rerun tests in "STUCK/DEAD", "n/a", "ZERO_ITEMS" states.

.In megatest.config
------------------
[setup]
reruns 5
------------------

Replace the default blacklisted environment variables with user supplied
list.

Default list: USER HOME DISPLAY LS_COLORS XKEYSYMDB EDITOR MAKEFLAGS MAKEF MAKEOVERRIDES

.Add a "bad" variable "PROMPT" to the variables that will be commented out
in the megatest.sh and megatest.csh files:
-----------------
[setup]
blacklistvars USER HOME DISPLAY LS_COLORS XKEYSYMDB EDITOR MAKEFLAGS PROMPT
-----------------

Run time limit
++++++++++++++

-----------------
[setup]
# this will automatically kill the test if it runs for more than 1h 2m and 3s
runtimelim 1h 2m 3s
-----------------

Post Run Hook
+++++++++++++

This runs script to-run.sh after all tests have been completed. It is
not necessary to use -run-wait as each test will check for other
running tests on completion and if there are none it will call the
post run hook.

Note that the output from the script call will be placed in a log file
in the logs directory with a file name derived by replacing / with _
in post-hook-<target>-<runname>.log.

-------------------
[runs]
post-hook /path/to/script/to-run.sh
-------------------

Tests browser view
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tests browser (see the Run Control tab on the dashboard) has two views for displaying the tests. 

. Dot (graphviz) based tree
. No dot, plain listing

The default is the graphviz based tree but if your tests don't view
well in that mode then use "nodot" to turn it off.

-----------------
[setup]
nodot
-----------------

Capturing Test Data
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a test you can capture arbitrary variables and roll them up in the
megatest database for viewing on the dashboard or web app.

.In a test as a script
------------------------
$MT_MEGATEST -load-test-data << EOF
foo,bar,   1.2,  1.9, >
foo,rab, 1.0e9, 10e9, 1e9
foo,bla,   1.2,  1.9, <
foo,bal,   1.2,  1.2, <   ,     ,Check for overload
foo,alb,   1.2,  1.2, <=  , Amps,This is the high power circuit test
foo,abl,   1.2,  1.3, 0.1
foo,bra,   1.2, pass, silly stuff
faz,bar,    10,  8mA,     ,     ,"this is a comment"
EOF
------------------------

Alternatively you can use logpro triggers to capture values and inject them
into megatest using the -set-values mechanism:

.Megatest help related to -set-values
------------------------
Test data capture
  -set-values             : update or set values in the testdata table
  :category               : set the category field (optional)
  :variable               : set the variable name (optional)
  :value                  : value measured (required)
  :expected               : value expected (required)
  :tol                    : |value-expect| <= tol (required, can be <, >, >=, <= or number)
  :units                  : name of the units for value, expected_value etc. (optional)

Wait on Other Tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-------------------
# A normal waiton waits for the prior tests to be COMPLETED 
# and PASS, CHECK or WAIVED
waiton test1 test2
-------------------

NOTE: Dynamic waiton lists must be capable of being calculated at the
beginning of a run. This is because Megatest walks the tree of waitons
to create the list of tests to execute.

.This works
-------------------
waiton [system somescript.sh]
-------------------

.This does NOT work (the full context for the test is not available so #{shell ...} is NOT enabled to evaluate.
-------------------
waiton #{shell somescript.sh}
-------------------

.This does NOT work
-------------------
waiton [system somescript_that_depends_on_a_prior_test.sh]
-------------------

Mode
~~~~

The default (i.e. if mode is not specified) is normal. All pre-dependent tests
must be COMPLETED and PASS, CHECK or WAIVED before the test will start

-------------------
[requirements]
mode   normal
-------------------

The toplevel mode requires only that the prior tests are COMPLETED.

-------------------
[requirements]
mode toplevel
-------------------

A item based waiton will start items in a test when the same-named
item is COMPLETED and PASS, CHECK or WAIVED in the prior test. This
was historically called "itemwait" mode. The terms "itemwait" and
"itemmatch" are synonyms.

-------------------
[requirements]
mode itemmatch
-------------------

Overriding Enviroment Variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Override variables before starting the test. Can include files (perhaps generated by megatest -envdelta or similar).

--------------------
[pre-launch-env-vars]
VAR1 value1

# Get some generated settings
[include ../generated-vars.config]

# Use this trick to unset variables
#{scheme (unsetenv "FOOBAR")}
--------------------

Itemmap Handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For cases were the dependent test has a similar but not identical
itempath to the downstream test an itemmap can allow for itemmatch
mode

.example for removing part of itemmap for waiton test (eg: item +foo-x/bar+ depends on waiton's item +y/bar+)
-------------------
[requirements]
mode itemwait
# itemmap <item pattern for this test>  <item replacement pattern for waiton test>
itemmap .*x/ y/

-------------------

.example for removing part of itemmap for waiton test (eg: item +foo/bar/baz+ in this test depends on waiton's item +baz+)
-------------------

# ## pattern replacement notes
#
# ## Example
# ## Remove everything up to the last /
[requirements]
mode itemwait
# itemmap <item pattern for this test> <nothing here indicates removal>
itemmap .*/
-------------------

.example replacing part of itemmap for (eg: item +foo/1234+ will imply waiton's item +bar/1234+)
-------------------

#
# ## Example
# ## Replace foo/ with bar/
[requirements]
mode itemwait
# itemmap <item pattern for this test>  <item replacement pattern for waiton test>
itemmap foo/ bar/

-------------------

.example for backreference (eg: item +foo23/thud+ will imply waiton's item +num-23/bar/thud+
-------------------
#
# ## Example
# ## can use \{number} in replacement pattern to backreference a (capture) from matching pattern similar to sed or perl
[requirements]
mode itemwait
# itemmap <item pattern for this test>  <item replacement pattern for waiton test>
itemmap foo(\d+)/ num-\1/bar/

-------------------

.example multiple itemmaps
-------------------

# multi-line; matches are applied in the listed order
# The following would map:
#   a123b321 to b321fooa123 then to 321fooa123p
#
[requirements]
itemmap (a\d+)(b\d+) \2foo\1
  b(.*) \1p
-------------------


Complex mapping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Complex mappings can be handled with a separate [itemmap] section (instead if an itemmap line in the [requirements] section)

Each line in an itemmap section starts with a waiton test name followed by an itemmap expression

.eg: The following causes waiton test A item +bar/1234+ to run when our test's +foo/1234+ item is requested as well as causing waiton test B's +blah+ item to run when our test's +stuff/blah+ item is requested
--------------
[itemmap]
A foo/ bar/
B stuff/
--------------


Complex mapping example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


// image::itemmap.png[]
image::complex-itemmap.png[]

We accomplish this by configuring the testconfigs of our tests C D and E as follows:

.Testconfig for Test E has
----------------------
[requirements]
waiton C
itemmap (\d+)/res \1/bb
----------------------

.Testconfig for Test D has
----------------------
[requirements]
waiton C
itemmap (\d+)/res \1/aa
----------------------

.Testconfig for Test C has
----------------------
[requirements]
waiton A B

[itemmap]
A (\d+)/aa aa/\1
B (\d+)/bb bb/\1
----------------------

.Testconfigs for Test B and Test A have no waiton or itemmap configured
-------------------
-------------------

.Walk through one item -- we want the following to happen for testpatt +D/1/res+ (see blue boxes in complex itemmaping figure above):

. eg from command line +megatest -run -testpatt D/1/res -target mytarget -runname myrunname+
. Full list to be run is now: +D/1/res+
. Test D has a waiton - test C.  Test D's itemmap rule +itemmap (\d&plus;)/res \1/aa+ ->  causes +C/1/aa+ to run before +D/1/res+
. Full list to be run is now: +D/1/res+, +C/1/aa+
. Test C was a waiton - test A. Test C's rule +A (\d&plus;)/aa aa/\1+ -> causes +A/aa/1+ to run before +C/1/aa+
. Full list to be run is now: +D/1/res+, +C/1/aa+, +A/aa/1+
. Test A has no waitons.  All waitons of all tests in full list have been processed.  Full list is finalized.



itemstable
~~~~~~~~~~
An alternative to defining items is the itemstable section.  This lets you define the itempath in a table format rather than specifying components and relying on getting all permutations of those components.

Dynamic Flow Dependency Tree
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.Autogeneration waiton list for dynamic flow dependency trees
-------------------
[requirements]
# With a toplevel test you may wish to generate your list 
# of tests to run dynamically
#
waiton #{shell get-valid-tests-to-run.sh}
-------------------

Run time limit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-----------------
[requirements]
runtimelim 1h 2m 3s  # this will automatically kill the test if it runs for more than 1h 2m and 3s
-----------------

Skip
~~~~

A test with a skip section will conditional skip running.

.Skip section example
-----------------
[skip]
prevrunning x
# rundelay 30m 15s
-----------------

Skip on Still-running Tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-----------------
# NB// If the prevrunning line exists with *any* value the test will
# automatically SKIP if the same-named test is currently RUNNING. The
# "x" can be any string. Comment out the prevrunning line to turn off
# skip.

[skip]
prevrunning x
-----------------

Skip if a File Exists
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-----------------
[skip]
fileexists /path/to/a/file # skip if /path/to/a/file exists
-----------------

Skip if a File Does not Exist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-----------------
[skip]
filenotexists /path/to/a/file # skip if /path/to/a/file does not exist
-----------------

Skip if a script completes with 0 status
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-----------------
[skip]
script /path/to/a/script # skip if /path/to/a/script completes with 0 status
-----------------

Skip if test ran more recently than specified time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.Skip if this test has been run in the past fifteen minutes and 15 seconds.
-----------------
[skip]
rundelay 15m 15s
-----------------

Disks
~~~~~

A disks section in testconfig will override the disks section in
megatest.config. This can be used to allocate disks on a per-test or per item
basis.

Controlled waiver propagation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If test is FAIL and previous test in run with same MT_TARGET is WAIVED
or if the test/itempath is listed under the matching target in the
waivers roll forward file (see below for file spec) then apply the
following rules from the testconfig: If a waiver check is specified in
the testconfig apply the check and if it passes then set this FAIL to
WAIVED

Waiver check has two parts, 1) a list of waiver, rulename,
filepatterns and 2) the rulename script spec (note that "diff" and
"logpro" are predefined)

-----------------
###### EXAMPLE FROM testconfig #########
# matching file(s) will be diff'd with previous run and logpro applied
# if PASS or WARN result from logpro then WAIVER state is set
#
[waivers]
# logpro_file    rulename      input_glob
waiver_1         logpro        lookittmp.log

[waiver_rules]

# This builtin rule is the default if there is no <waivername>.logpro file
# diff   diff %file1% %file2%

# This builtin rule is applied if a <waivername>.logpro file exists
# logpro diff %file1% %file2% | logpro %waivername%.logpro %waivername%.html
-----------------

Waiver roll-forward files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To transfer waivers from one Megatest area to another it is possible
to dump waivers into a file and reference that file in another area.

.Dumping the waivers
---------------------------
megatest -list-waivers -runname %-a > mywaivers.dat
---------------------------

.Referencing the saved waivers
---------------------------
# In megatest.config, all files listed will be loaded - recomended to use
# variables to select directorys to minimize what gets loaded.
[setup]
waivers-dirs /path/to/waiver/files /another/path/to/waiver/files
---------------------------

.Waiver files format
---------------------------
[the/target/here]
# comments are fine
testname1/itempath A comment about why it was waived
testname2          A comment for a non-itemized test 
---------------------------

Ezsteps
~~~~~~~

Ezsteps is the recommended way to implement tests and automation in
Megatest.

NOTE: Each ezstep must be a single line. Use the [scripts] mechanism
to create multiline scripts (see example below).

.Example ezsteps with logpro rules
-----------------
[ezsteps]
lookittmp   ls /tmp

[logpro]
lookittmp ;; Note: config file format supports multi-line entries where leading whitespace is removed from each line
  ;;     a blank line indicates the end of the block of text 
  (expect:required in "LogFileBody" > 0 "A file name that should never exist!" #/This is a awfully stupid file name that should never be found in the temp dir/)

-----------------

Automatic environment propagation with Ezsteps
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Turn on ezpropvars or simply give your step name an extension of .sh
or .csh. The environment variables will be propagated.

NOTE: aliases and variables with strange whitespace or characters will
not propagate correctly. Put in a ticket on the
http://www.kiatoa.com/fossils/megatest site if you need support for a
specific strange character combination.

.Turn on auto propagate for bash
---------------------------
[setup]
ezpropvars sh
---------------------------

.Write your ezsteps. The loadenv.csh step will use /bin/csh as its shell, other steps will use bash.
---------------------------
[ezsteps]
loadenv.csh source $REF/ourenviron.csh
compile make
install make install
---------------------------

Bash and csh are supported. You can override the shell binary location
from the default /bin/bash and /bin/csh if needed.

.Turn on auto propagate for csh
---------------------------
[setup]
ezpropvars csh /bin/csh
---------------------------

.Example of auto propagation using extensions
---------------------------
[ezsteps]
step1.sh export SOMEVAR=$(ps -def | wc -l);ls /tmp
# The next step will get the value of $SOMEVAR from step1.sh
step2.sh echo $SOMEVAR
---------------------------

.Example of multi-line script
---------------------------
[scripts]
tarresults tar cfvz $DEST/srcdir1.tar.gz srcdir1
  tar cfvz $DEST/srcdir2.tar.gz srcdir2

[setup]
ezpropvars sh

[ezsteps]
step1 DEST=/tmp/targz;source tarresults
---------------------------

The above example will result in files; tarresults and ez_step1 being
created in the test dir.

Scripts
~~~~~~~

.Specifying scripts inline (best used for only simple scripts)
----------------------------
[scripts]
loaddb #!/bin/bash
  sqlite3 $1 <<EOF
  .mode tabs
  .import $2 data
  .q
  EOF
----------------------------

The above snippet results in the creation of an executable script
called "loaddb" in the test directory. NOTE: every line in the script
must be prefixed with the exact same number of spaces. Lines beginning
with a # will not work as expected. Currently you cannot indent
intermediate lines.

.Full example with ezsteps, logpro rules, scripts etc.
-----------------
# You can include a common file
#
[include #{getenv MT_RUN_AREA_HOME}/global-testconfig.inc]

# Use "var" for a scratch pad

Triggers
~~~~~~~~

In your testconfig or megatest.config triggers can be specified 

.Triggers spec
-----------------
[triggers]

# Call script running.sh when test goes to state=RUNNING, status=PASS
RUNNING/PASS running.sh

# Call script running.sh any time state goes to RUNNING
RUNNING/ running.sh

# Call script onpass.sh any time status goes to PASS
PASS/ onpass.sh
-----------------

Scripts called will have; test-id test-rundir trigger test-name item-path state status event-time, added to the commandline.

HINT

To start an xterm (useful for debugging), use a command line like the following:

.Start an xterm using a trigger for test completed.
-----------------
[triggers]
COMPLETED/ xterm -e bash -s -- 
-----------------

NOTE: There is a trailing space after the double-dash

There are a number of environment variables available to the trigger script
but since triggers can be called in various contexts not all variables are
available at all times. The trigger script should check for the variable and
fail gracefully if it doesn't exist.

| MT_MEGATEST         | Which Megatest binary is being used by this area
| MT_TARGET           | The target variable values, separated by '/'
| MT_LINKTREE         | The base of the link tree where all run tests can be found
| MT_ITEMPATH         | The values of the item path variables, separated by '/'
| MT_RUNNAME          | The name of the run
|======================


Override the Toplevel HTML File
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Megatest generates a simple html file summary for top level tests of
iterated tests. The generation can be overridden. NOTE: the output of
the script is captured from stdout to create the html.


.For test "runfirst" override the toplevel generation with a script "mysummary.sh"
-----------------
# Override the rollup for specific tests
[testrollup]
runfirst mysummary.sh
-----------------

Archiving Setup
---------------

In megatest.config add the following sections:

.megatest.config
--------------
[archive]
# where to get bup executable
# bup /path/to/bup

[archive-disks]

# Archives will be organised under these paths like this:
#  <testsuite>/<creationdate>
# Within the archive the data is structured like this:
#  <target>/<runname>/<test>/
archive0 /mfs/myarchive-data/adisk1
--------------

Environment Variables
---------------------

It is often necessary to capture and or manipulate environment
variables. Megatest has some facilities built in to help.

Capture variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.Commands
------------------------------
# capture the current enviroment into a db called envdat.db under
# the context "before"
megatest -envcap before

# capture the current environment into a db called startup.db with 
# context "after"
megatest -envcap after startup.db

# write the diff from before to after
megatest -envdelta before-after -dumpmode bash
------------------------------

Dump modes include bash, csh and config. You can include config data
into megatest.config, runconfigs.config and testconfig files. This is
useful for capturing a complex environment in a special-purpose test
and then utilizing that environment in downstream tests.

.Example of generating and using config data
------------------------------
megatest -envcap original
# do some stuff here
megatest -envcap munged
megatest -envdelta original-munged -dumpmode ini -o modified.config
------------------------------

Then in runconfigs.config

.Example of using modified.config in a testconfig
------------------------------
[pre-launch-env-vars]
[include modified.config]
------------------------------

Managing Old Runs
-----------------

It is often desired to keep some older runs around but this must be balanced with the costs of disk space.

. Use -remove-keep
. Use -archive (can also be done from the -remove-keep interface)
. use -remove-runs with -keep-records

.For each target, remove all runs but the most recent 3 if they are over 1 week old
---------------------
# use -precmd 'sleep 5;nbfake' to limit overloading the host computer but to allow the removes to run in parallel.
megatest -actions print,remove-runs -remove-keep 3 -target %/%/%/% -runname % -age 1w -precmd 'sleep 5;nbfake'"
---------------------

Nested Runs
-----------

A Megatest test can run a full Megatest run in either the same
Megatest area or in another area. This is a powerful way of chaining
complex suites of tests and or actions.

If you are not using the current area you can use ezsteps to retrieve
and setup the sub-Megatest run area.

In the testconfig:
---------------
[subrun]

# Required: wait for the run or just launch it
#           if no then the run will be an automatic PASS irrespective of the actual result
run-wait yes|no

# Optional: where to execute the run. Default is the current runarea
run-area /some/path/to/megatest/area

# Optional: method to use to determine pass/fail status of the run
#   auto (default) - roll up the net state/status of the sub-run
#   logpro         - use the provided logpro rules, happens automatically if there is a logpro section
# passfail auto|logpro
# Example of logpro:
passfail logpro

# Optional: 
logpro ;; if this section exists then logpro is used to determine pass/fail
  (expect:required in "LogFileBody" >= 1 "At least one pass" #/PASS/)
  (expect:error     in "LogFileBody"  = 0 "No FAILs allowed"  #/FAIL/)

# Optional: target translator, default is to use the parent target
target #{shell somescript.sh}

# Optional: runname translator/generator, default is to use the parent runname
run-name #{somescript.sh}

# Optional: testpatt spec, default is to first look for TESTPATT spec from runconfigs unless there is a contour spec
test-patt %/item1,test2

# Optional: contour spec, use the named contour from the megatest.config contour spec
contour contourname ### NOTE: Not implemented yet! Let us know if you need this feature.

# Optional: mode-patt, use this spec for testpatt from runconfigs
mode-patt TESTPATT

# Optional: tag-expr, use this tag-expr to select tests
tag-expr quick

# Optional: (not yet implemented, remove-runs is always propagated at this time), propagate these actions from the parent
#           test
#   Note// default is % for all
propagate remove-runs archive ...
