Tests
Tests are run by /cmake/RunTests.cmake file, using busted.
Directory structure
Directories with tests: /test/benchmark for benchmarks, /test/functional for
functional tests, /test/unit for unit tests. /test/config contains *.in
files (currently a single one) which are transformed into *.lua files using
configure_file CMake command: this is for acessing CMake variables in lua
tests. /test/includes contains include files for use by luajit ffi.cdef
C definitions parser: normally used to make macros not accessible via this
mechanism accessible the other way.
Files /test/*/preload.lua contain modules which will be preloaded by busted,
via --helper option. /test/**/helpers.lua contain various “library”
functions, (intended to be) used by a number of tests and not just a single one.
/test/*/**/*_spec.lua are files containing actual tests. Files that do not end
with a _spec.lua are libraries like /test/**/helpers.lua, except that they
have some common topic.
Tests inside /test/unit and /test/functional are normally divided into
groups by the semantic component they are testing.
Environment variables
Test behaviour is affected by environment variables. Currently supported (Functional, Unit, Benchmarks) (when Defined; when set to 1; when defined, treated as Integer; when defined, treated as String; when defined, treated as Number; !must be defined to function properly):
GDB (F) (D): makes nvim instances to be run under gdbserver. It will be
accessible on localhost:7777: use gdb build/bin/nvim, type target remote :7777 inside.
GDBSERVER_PORT (F) (I): overrides port used for GDB.
VALGRIND (F) (D): makes nvim instances to be run under valgrind. Log files
are named valgrind-%p.log in this case. Note that non-empty valgrind log may
fail tests. Valgrind arguments may be seen in /test/functional/helpers.lua.
May be used in conjunction with GDB.
VALGRIND_LOG (F) (S): overrides valgrind log file name used for VALGRIND.
TEST_SKIP_FRAGILE (F) (D): makes test suite skip some fragile tests.
NVIM_PROG, NVIM_PRG (F) (S): override path to Neovim executable (default to
build/bin/nvim).
CC (U) (S): specifies which C compiler to use to preprocess files. Currently
only compilers with gcc-compatible arguments are supported.
NVIM_TEST_MAIN_CDEFS (U) (1): makes ffi.cdef run in main process. This
raises a possibility of bugs due to conflicts in header definitions, despite the
counters, but greatly speeds up unit tests by not requiring ffi.cdef to do
parsing of big strings with C definitions.
NVIM_TEST_PRINT_I (U) (1): makes cimport print preprocessed, but not yet
filtered through formatc headers. Used to debug formatc. Printing is done
with the line numbers.
NVIM_TEST_PRINT_CDEF (U) (1): makes cimport print final lines which will be
then passed to ffi.cdef. Used to debug errors ffi.cdef happens to throw
sometimes.
NVIM_TEST_PRINT_SYSCALLS (U) (1): makes it print to stderr when syscall
wrappers are called and what they returned. Used to debug code which makes unit
tests be executed in separate processes.
NVIM_TEST_RUN_FAILING_TESTS (U) (1): makes itp run tests which are known to
fail (marked by setting third argument to true).
LOG_DIR (FU) (S!): specifies where to seek for valgrind and ASAN log files.
NVIM_TEST_CORE_* (FU) (S): a set of environment variables which specify where
to search for core files. Are supposed to be defined all at once.
NVIM_TEST_CORE_GLOB_DIRECTORY (FU) (S): directory where core files are
located. May be .. This directory is then recursively searched for core files.
Note: this variable must be defined for any of the following to have any effect.
NVIM_TEST_CORE_GLOB_RE (FU) (S): regular expression which must be matched by
core files. E.g. /core[^/]*$. May be absent, in which case any file is
considered to be matched.
NVIM_TEST_CORE_EXC_RE (FU) (S): regular expression which excludes certain
directories from searching for core files inside. E.g. use ^/%.deps$ to not
search inside /.deps. If absent, nothing is excluded.
NVIM_TEST_CORE_DB_CMD (FU) (S): command to get backtrace out of the debugger.
E.g. gdb -n -batch -ex "thread apply all bt full" "$_NVIM_TEST_APP" -c "$_NVIM_TEST_CORE". Defaults to the example command. This debug command may use
environment variables _NVIM_TEST_APP (path to application which is being
debugged: normally either nvim or luajit) and _NVIM_TEST_CORE (core file to
get backtrace from).
NVIM_TEST_CORE_RANDOM_SKIP (FU) (D): makes check_cores not check cores after
approximately 90% of the tests. Should be used when finding cores is too hard
for some reason. Normally (on OS X or when NVIM_TEST_CORE_GLOB_DIRECTORY is
defined and this variable is not) cores are checked for after each test.
NVIM_TEST_RUN_TESTTEST (U) (1): allows running test/unit/testtest_spec.lua
used to check how testing infrastructure works.
NVIM_TEST_TRACE_LEVEL (U) (N): specifies unit tests tracing level: 0
disables tracing (the fastest, but you get no data if tests crash and there was
no core dump generated), 1 or empty/undefined leaves only C function cals and
returns in the trace (faster then recording everything), 2 records all
function calls, returns and lua source lines exuecuted.
