-(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
- names "userx", "usery", "userz", or a few other simple ones such as "abcd"
- and "xyz" and single letters that are used in the tests. The test suite
- expects the login to have a gecos name; I think it will now run if the
- gecos field is empty but there may be anomalies.
+(3) The login under which you run the tests must have the exim group as a
+ secondary so that it has access to logs, spool files, etc. However, it
+ should have a different primary group (eg. "users" vs. "eximgroup"). The
+ login should not be one of the names "userx", "usery", "userz", or a few
+ other simple ones such as "abcd" and "xyz" and single letters that are used
+ in the tests. The test suite expects the login to have a gecos name; I think
+ it will now run if the gecos field is empty but there may be anomalies.
The login must not contain a dash or an equal sign. (Otherwise some tests
about local_from_{suffix,prefix} will fail.)
configs can be placed into it. A suitable file location is .../exim/test/trusted_configs
with content .../exim/test/test-config [fill out the ... to make full
paths]. This file should be owner/group matching CONFIGURE_OWNER/GROUP,
- or root/root. The config files in .../exim/test/confs/ should be owner/group the same.
- DISABLE_D_OPTION must not be used. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is used, it
+ or root/root, and it has to be accessible for the login, under which
+ you run the tests. The config files in .../exim/test/confs/ should be
+ owner/group the same. 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:

(10) Exim must *not* be built with USE_READLINE, as the test-suite's automation
assumes the simpler I/O model.
-FLAVOUR <flavour>
This allows "overrides" for the test results. It's intended
use is to deal with distro specific differences in the test
- output. The default flavour is "foo". If during the test
- run differences between the current and the expected output
- are found and no flavour file exists already, you may update
- the "common" expected output or you may create a flavour
- file. If a flavour file already exists, any updates will go
+ output. The default flavour is "FOO" if autodetection fails.
+ (Autodection is possible for known flavours only. Known
+ flavours are computed after file name extensions in stdout/*
+ and stderr/*.)
+
+ If during the test run differences between the current and
+ the expected output are found and no flavour file exists already,
+ you may update the "common" expected output or you may create a
+ flavour file. If a flavour file already exists, any updates will go
into that flavour file!
-KEEP Normally, after a successful run, the test output files are
PORT_D is replaced by a port number for normal daemon use
PORT_N is replaced by a port number that should never respond
PORT_S is replaced by a port number for normal bin/server use
+ PORT_DYNAMIC is replaced by a port number allocated dynamically
TESTNUM is replaced by the current test number
V4NET is replaced by an IPv4 network number for testing
V6NET is replaced by an IPv6 network number for testing
they are networks that can never be used for an IP address of a real host. I've
chosen two multicast networks for the moment.
+PORT_DYNAMIC is allocated by hunting for a free port (starting at port
+1024) a listener can bind to. This is done by runtest, for simulating
+inetd operations.
+
If the host has no IPv6 address, "<no IPv6 address found>" is substituted but
that does not matter because no IPv6 tests will be run. A similar substitution
is made if there is no IPv4 address, and again, tests that actually require a
-d causes the server to output debugging information
-t <sec> sets a timeout (default 5) for when the server is
- awaiting an incoming connection
+ awaiting an incoming connection. If negative, the
+ absolute value is used and a timeout results in a
+ nonfailure exit code
-noipv4 causes the server not to set up an IPv4 socket
Here is a simple example:
