KYUA-REPORT(1) BSD General Commands Manual KYUA-REPORT(1)NAME
kyua report — Generates reports with the results of a test suite run
SYNOPSIS
kyua report [--output path] [--results-file file]
[--results-filter types] [--verbose] [test_filter1 .. test_filterN]
DESCRIPTION
The kyua report command parses a results file and generates a user-
friendly, plain-text report for user consumption on the terminal. By
default, these reports only display a summary of the execution of the
full test suite to highlight where problems may lie.
The output of kyua report can be customized to display full details on
all executed test cases. Additionally, the optional arguments to kyua
report are used to select which test programs or test cases to display.
These are filters and are described below in Test filters.
Reports generated by kyua report are not intended to be
machine-parseable.
The following subcommand options are recognized:
--output path
Specifies the path to which the report should be written to. The
special values /dev/stdout and /dev/stderr can be used to specify the
standard output and the standard error respectively.
--results-file path, -s path
Specifies the results file to operate on. Defaults to ‘LATEST’,
which causes kyua report to automatically load the latest results
file from the current test suite.
The following values are accepted:
‘LATEST’
Requests the load of the latest results file available for the
test suite rooted at the current directory.
Directory
Requests the load of the latest results file available for the
test suite rooted at the given directory.
Test suite name
Requests the load of the latest results file available for the
given test suite.
Results identifier
Requests the load of a specific results file.
Explicit file name (aka everything else)
Load the specified results file.
See Results files for more details.
--results-filter types
Comma-separated list of the test result types to include in the
report. The ordering of the values is respected so that you can
determine how you want the list of tests to be shown.
The valid values are: ‘broken’, ‘failed’, ‘passed’, ‘skipped’ and
‘xfail’. If the parameter supplied to the option is empty, filtering
is suppressed and all result types are shown in the report.
The default value for this flag includes all the test results except
the passed tests. Showing the passed tests by default clutters the
report with too much information, so only abnormal conditions are
included.
--verbose
Prints a detailed report of the execution. In addition to all the
information printed by default, verbose reports include the runtime
context of the test suite run, the metadata of each test case, and
the verbatim output of the test cases.
Results files
Results files contain, as their name implies, the results of the execu‐
tion of a test suite. Each test suite executed by kyua-test(1) generates
a new results file, and such results files can be loaded later on by
inspection commands such as kyua-report(1) to analyze their contents.
Results files support identifier-based lookups and also path name
lookups. The differences between the two are described below.
The default naming scheme for the results files provides simple support
for identifier-based lookups and historical recording of test suite runs.
Each results file is given an identifier derived from the test suite that
generated it and the time the test suite was run. Kyua can later look up
results files by these fileds.
The identifier follows this pattern:
<test_suite>.<YYYYMMDD>-<HHMMSS>-<uuuuuu>
where ‘test_suite’ is the path to the root of the test suite that was run
with all slashes replaced by underscores and ‘YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-uuuuuu’ is
a timestamp with microsecond resolution.
When using the default naming scheme, results files are stored in the
~/.kyua/store/ subdirectory and each file holds a name of the form:
~/.kyua/store/results.<identifier>.db
Results files are simple SQLite databases with the schema described in
the /usr/local/share/kyua/store/schema_v?.sql files. For details on the
schema, please refer to the heavily commented SQL file.
Test filters
A test filter is a string that is used to match test cases or test pro‐
grams in a test suite. Filters have the following form:
test_program_name[:test_case_name]
Where ‘test_program_name’ is the name of a test program or a subdirectory
in the test suite, and ‘test_case_name’ is the name of a test case.
EXIT STATUS
The kyua report command returns 0 if no filters were specified or if all
filters match one or more test cases. If any filter fails to match any
test case, the command returns 1.
Additional exit codes may be returned as described in kyua(1).
EXAMPLES
Workflow with results files
Let's say you run the following command twice in a row:
kyua test -k /usr/tests/Kyuafile
The two executions will generate two files with names like these:
~/.kyua/store/results.usr_tests.20140731-150500-196784.db
~/.kyua/store/results.usr_tests.20140731-151730-997451.db
Taking advantage of the default naming scheme, the following commands
would all generate a report for the results of the latest execution of
the test suite:
cd /usr/tests && kyua report
cd /usr/tests && kyua report --results-file=LATEST
kyua report --results-file=/usr/tests
kyua report --results-file=usr_tests
kyua report --results-file=usr_tests.20140731-151730-997451
But it is also possible to explicitly load data for older runs or from
explicitly-named files:
kyua report \
--results-file=usr_tests.20140731-150500-196784
kyua report \
--results-file=~/.kyua/store/results.usr_tests.20140731-150500-196784.db
