EXPORTABLE EXIM TEST SUITE
--------------------------
This document last updated for:
Test Suite Version: 4.67
-Date: 23 January 2007
+Date: 20 February 2007
BACKGROUND
Defaults timestamp_timeout=480
in /etc/sudoers, a password lasts for 8 hours (a working day). It is
- probably not a good idea to run the tests as the Exim user, as this is
- recognized as special by Exim.
+ not permitted to run the tests as the Exim user because the test suite
+ tracks the two users independently. Using the same user would result
+ in false positives on some tests.
+
+ Further, some tests invoke sudo in an environment where there might not be
+ a TTY, so tickets should be global, not per-TTY. Taking this all together
+ and assuming a user of "exim-build", you might have this in sudoers:
+
+ Defaults:exim-build timestamp_timeout=480,!tty_tickets
(3) The login under which you run the tests must be in the exim group so that
it has access to logs, spool files, etc. The login should not be one of the
interface; when one is not found, some tests are skipped (with a warning
message).
+(9) Exim must be built with TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST support, so that the test
+ configs can be placed into it. DISABLE_D_OPTION must not be used. If
+ ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is used, it must contain the directory of the test-suite.
+ WHITELIST_D_MACROS should contain:
+
+ DIR:EXIM_PATH:AA:ACL:ACLRCPT:ACL_MAIL:ACL_PREDATA:ACL_RCPT:AFFIX:ALLOW:ARG1:ARG2:AUTHF:AUTHS:AUTH_ID_DOMAIN:BAD:BANNER:BB:BR:BRB:CERT:COM:COMMAND_USER:CONNECTCOND:CONTROL:CREQCIP:CREQMAC:CRL:CSS:D6:DATA:DCF:DDF:DEFAULTDWC:DELAY:DETAILS:DRATELIMIT:DYNAMIC_OPTION:ELI:ERROR_DETAILS:ERT:FAKE:FALLBACK:FILTER:FILTER_PREPEND_HOME:FORBID:FORBID_SMTP_CODE:FUSER:HAI:HAP:HARDLIMIT:HEADER_LINE_MAXSIZE:HEADER_MAXSIZE:HELO_MSG:HL:HOSTS:HOSTS_AVOID_TLS:HOSTS_MAX_TRY:HVH:IFACE:IGNORE_QUOTA:INC:INSERT:IP1:IP2:LAST:LDAPSERVERS:LENCHECK:LIMIT:LIST:LOG_SELECTOR:LS:MAXNM:MESSAGE_LOGS:MSIZE:NOTDAEMON:ONCE:ONLY:OPT:OPTION:ORDER:PAH:PEX:PORT:PTBC:QDG:QOLL:QUOTA:QUOTA_FILECOUNT:QWM:RCPT_MSG:REMEMBER:REQUIRE:RETRY:RETRY1:RETRY2:RETURN:RETURN_ERROR_DETAILS:REWRITE:ROUTE_DATA:RRATELIMIT:RT:S:SELECTOR:SELF:SERVER:SERVERS:SREQCIP:SREQMAC:SRV:STD:STRICT:SUB:SUBMISSION_OPTIONS:TIMEOUTDEFER:TIMES:TRUSTED:TRYCLEAR:UL:USE_SENDER:UTF8:VALUE:WMF:X:Y

+(10) Exim must *not* be built with USE_READLINE, as the test-suite's automation
+ assumes the simpler I/O model.
+ Exim must *not* be built with HEADERS_CHARSET set to UTF-8.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS
---------------
(2) cd into the exim-testsuite-x.xx directory.
-(3) Run "./configure" and then "make". This builds a few auxiliary programs
- that are written in C.
+(3) Run "autoconf" then "./configure" and then "make". This builds a few
+ auxiliary programs that are written in C.
-(4) Run "./runtest" (a Perl script) as described below.
+(4) echo $PWD/test-config >> your_TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST_filename
-(5) If you want to see what tests are available, run "./listtests".
+(5) Run "./runtest" (a Perl script) as described below.

+(6) If you want to see what tests are available, run "./listtests".
BREAKING OUT OF THE TEST SCRIPT
1 difference found.
"test-stdout-munged" contains 16 lines; "stdout/1300" contains 18 lines.

+ Continue, Retry, Update & retry, Quit? [Q]
This example was generated by running the test with a version of Exim
that had a bug in the exim_dbmbuild utility (the bug was fixed at release
The reply to the prompt must either be empty, in which case it takes the
default that is given in brackets (in this case Q), or a single letter, in
-upper or lower case (in this case, one of C, U, or Q). If you type anything
+upper or lower case (in this case, one of C, R, U, or Q). If you type anything
else, the prompt is repeated.
"Continue" carries on as if the files had matched; that is, it ignores the
"Update & retry" copies the new file to the saved file, and reruns the test
after doing any further comparisons that may be necessary.
+"Retry" does the same apart from the file copy.

Other circumstances give rise to other prompts. If a test generates output for
which there is no saved data, the prompt (after a message stating which file is
unexpectely not empty) is:
This command runs the exinext utility with the given argument data.
+ exigrep <data>
+
+This command runs the exigrep utility with the given data (the search pattern)
+on the current mainlog file.

This command is present at the start of all but one of the tests that use
This command runs the auxiliary "client" program that simulates an SMTP client.
It is controlled by a script read from its standard input, details of which are
-given below. The only option is -t, which must be followed by a number, to
-specify the command timeout in seconds. The program connects to the given IP
-address and port, using the specified interface, if one is given.
+given below. There are two options. One is -t, which must be followed directly
+by a number, to specify the command timeout in seconds (e.g. -t5). The default
+timeout is 1 second. The other option is -tls-on-connect, which causes the
+client to try to start up a TLS session as soon as it has connected, without
+using the STARTTLS command. The client program connects to the given IP address
+and port, using the specified interface, if one is given.
