we can run our own testsuite under, and I want it to handle the full range of
strange and peverted behavior you can find in real world shell scripts.
In the meantime, I'll just say #!/bin/bash in places that may care.
- 'function fn_name\n{' breaks on older FreeBSD default shells, so use the more
widely supported 'fn_name () {'. This needs more fixing..
- test for integers ought to use the proper operators
- test for strings ought to use quoting of the strings to be fair to strange
implementations of test(1)
- make sure not to ignore return-codes != 0 from commands; Some shells exit
immediately on this (much like explicitely requesting set -e in e.g. bash)
TODO:
*) Some older shells do not allow a space after the test-condition in an "if"
statement. This doesn't work:
if [ $status -ne 0 ] ; then
as opposed to this:
if [ $status -ne 0 ]; then
or this
if [ $status -ne 0 ]
then
*) strict spacing between commands. In some shells you have to say:
foo ; bar ; baz
The affected shells barf on stuff like ommitting the space, so this doesn't
work:
foo; bar ;baz
*) $() vs. ``
The former isn't really portable as opposed to the latter.
*) fix frong assumption that the testsuite is run from the source-dir.
This is a complete misconception and renders the testsuite completely useless.
That said, i note that IMO a test-harness ought to do it's best to work in
a wide variety of environments, everything else defeats it's purpose.
it looks like the introduced support for character classes and
equivalence classes is not correct. The attached patch tries to fix
some symptoms and tries to make tr behave like gnu tr for the added
test cases. The patch
- removes if clauses with side effects
- fixes handling of buffer pointer (strcat added characters to the
buffer without increasing the buffer pointer)
- re-arranges character classes to match ASCII order

$COMMAND environment variable, instead put full command line (including
command to run) in second argument. Modify $PATH to have test versions of
commands at start of path. (Also more infrastructure for testing as root,
work in progress...)
meaning we want to run them in a chroot environment. To help with this,
I worked out a utility function that makes it really easy to set up a chroot
environment.
sed.tests file. My brain hurts now. (Lots of boggling at sed minutiae and
corner cases and going "why is gnu giving that output". The behavior of N
and n with regard to EOF are only understandable if you read the Open Group
spec, not if you read the sed info page, by the way...)
Some of the existing sed tests are just nuts. For example, sed-next-line is
testing for our behavior (which is wrong), and would fail if run against gnu
sed (which was getting it right. Again, this was a spec-boggling moment,
with much head scratching. I've got to add a debug mode where the stuff
output by the p command is a different color from the stuff output by normal
end of script printing (when not suppressed by -n).)
As for sed-handles-unsatisifed-backrefs: what is this test trying to _do_? I
ran it against gnu sed and got an error message, and this behavior sounds
perfectly reasonable. (It _is_ an unsatisfied backref.) The fact we
currently ignore this case (and treat \1 as an empty string) isn't really
behavior we should have a test depend on for success.
The remaining one is sed-aic-commands, which is long and complicated. I'm
trying to figure out if I should chop this into a number of smaller tests, or
if having one big "does-many-things" test is a good idea.
In any case, the _next_ step is to go through the Open Group standard and
make tests for every case not yet covered. (And there are plenty. There
are few comments in the file already.) Plus I have notes about corner
cases from development that I need to collate and put into here. This file
is maybe the first 1/3 of a truly comprehensive sed test.

COMMAND=sort ./sort.tests
So we can compare against non-busybox versions, and possibly our testsuite
will be useful to somebody like the Linux Test Project someday.
Redid testing.sh to add new command, "optional", to skip tests that require
certain features. (use: `optional FEATURE_SORT_BIG`, or `optional ""` to
stop skipping.) Note that optional is a NOP if the environment variable
"OPTIONFLAGS" is blank, so although we're marking up the tests with busybox
specific knowledge, it doesn't interfere with running the tests without
busybox.
Moved setting the "OPTIONFLAGS" environment variable to runtest. Philosophy:
busybox-specific stuff belongs in runtest; both testing.sh and the tests
themselves should be as busybox-agnostic as possible.
Moved detecting that a command isn't in busybox at all (hence skipping the
entire command.tests file) to runtests. Rationale: optional can't currently
test for more than one feature at a time, so if we clear anything with
optional "" we might perform tests we don't want to.
Marked up busybox.tests to know which tests need CAT enabled. Fixed up other
tests to be happy with new notation.
I suspect egrep should be appended to grep. It's a sub-feature, really...
This is used to see if given tests should be run (are available) or not.
Print "UNTESTED: descr" if the applet or feature is not available.
- add _BB_CONFIG_DEP to existing new.tests
- move old grep test to new test infrastructure and add a few more test for
grep.
This fixes the warning, and makes the binary smaller out of sheer pique.
(Yes, since Manuel did this one it's nice tight code that took several
attempts to shrink, but I was ticked.)
Add the start of a test for uniq; this is about the first 1/3 of the
tests we need for full susv3 coverage of uniq.
(I.E. any argv[0] that starts with "busybox" winds up in busybox_main().)
Added testing/busybox.tests which tests the following permutations:
./busybox
./busybox-suffix
./busybox cat
./busybox-suffix cat
./busybox --help
./busybox-suffix --help
./busybox --help cat
./busybox-suffix --help cat
./busybox --help unknown
./busybox-suffix --help unknown
./unknown
Also repair the test suite so ./runtest calls the ".tests" scripts properly.
Note: you can now go "busybox busybox busbox ls -l" and it'll take it. The
new code is pretty generic. I can block that if anybody can come up with a
good reason to...
This patch implements the 'T' command in sed. This is a GNU extension,
but one of the udev hotplug scripts uses it, so I need it in busybox
anyway.
Includes a test; 'svn add testsuite/sed/sed-branch-conditional-inverted'
after applying.
Hi!
I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.
That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.
I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.
'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.
One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.
egor
'testsuite' dir. Fix a bunch of broken tests. Fix the testsuite
'runtest' script so it actually reports all failures and provides
meaningful feedback.
