[PATCH] libcheck: add ptest support

[PATCH] libcheck: add ptest support

[Pratik Farkase]

Add package test (ptest) support to libcheck recipe to enable
running the test suite on target devices.

The implementation installs:
- Test binaries (check_check, check_check_export)
- Test helper binaries and scripts
- Shell script tests that validate various output formats
- Test configuration files

All 9 upstream tests pass successfully:
START: ptest-runner
BEGIN: /usr/lib/libcheck/ptest
PASS: check_check_export
PASS: check_check
PASS: test_output.sh
PASS: test_check_nofork.sh
PASS: test_check_nofork_teardown.sh
PASS: test_xml_output.sh
PASS: test_log_output.sh
PASS: test_set_max_msg_size.sh
PASS: test_tap_output.sh
END: /usr/lib/libcheck/ptest
STOP: ptest-runner

Note: The test_vars SRCDIR path is set to /usr/src/debug/libcheck/0.15.2/tests
to match the debug source paths embedded in compiled binaries.

Hi Pratik,

Thanks for adding a new test case.  Some comments:

This looks like the same loop, twice. Why not merge them?

Don’t ||true, if it fails we want this to fail.

Also considering the lists of tests is hardcoded in run-ptest _and_ upstream hasn’t been changed in four years, it might be easier to just hardcode the list of binaries that we install instead of playing games trying to identify the right output.

This is just test/*.sh, right?

Hard-coded paths that will break on upgrade.  ${TARGET_DBGSRC_DIR} is the variable you want.

You can remove this: I don’t see any scripts that use bash, and the dependency on libcheck will be generated automatically.

Thanks,

Re: [OE-core] [PATCH] libcheck: add ptest support

[Pratik Farkase]

Hi Ross,

Thank you for the detailed review and feedback!

I've addressed all your comments in v2:

1. Merged the duplicate test loops into a single loop
2. Removed || true from install commands  
3. Hardcoded the list of helper binaries to install instead of dynamic detection
4. Simplified shell script installation using *.sh glob
5. Used ${TARGET_DBGSRC_DIR} instead of hardcoded /usr/src/debug path
6. Removed redundant RDEPENDS (bash and libcheck)

All 9 tests continue to pass on qemux86-64.

v2 patch is attached/sent separately.

Thanks again for the review!

Best Regards,
Pratik

Hi Pratik,

Is that a new version? How does it differ from the version already
merged?

https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=1bb06e23c1c87829e5c4211e34229305c7d5f851

Thanks,
Mathieu
