# Exported testsuite
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The tests are typically run from git on binaries built from the git sources. It
|
||||||
|
is possible to extract only the testsuite files and run it independently. Use
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
$ make testsuite
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will gather scripts and generate `tests/btrfs-progs-tests.tar.gz`. The
|
||||||
|
files inside the tar are in the top level directory, make sure you extract
|
||||||
|
the contents to an empty directory. From there you can start the tests as
|
||||||
|
described above (the non-make variant).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default the binaries found in `$PATH` are used, this will normally mean the
|
||||||
|
system binaries. You can also override the `$TOP` shell variable and this
|
||||||
|
path will be used as prefix for all btrfs binaries inside the tests.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are some utilities that are not distributed but are necessary for the
|
||||||
|
tests. They are in the top level directory of the testsuite and their path
|
||||||
|
cannot be set.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The tests assume write acesss to their directories.
